I grew up in the Athens area. I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter. I've spent many years in the luxury industry first with Sea Island Company which gave me the foundation and view of 5 star service and what that means and takes. I've transitioned that philosophy of service into my daily Mercedes-benz experience for my customers. I'm appreciative for the opportunity to serve and it's a pillar of who I am.

My wife and I recently purchased a used vehicle from MB of Athens. This was, by far, the best car-buying experience that we have ever had. We had the privilege of dealing with Tonya Lee, who first contac of Athens. This was, by far, the best car-buying experience that we have ever had. We had the privilege of dealing with Tonya Lee, who first contacted me after an online inquiry. She really took care of us before and after the sell. She was very professional and friendly; she answered all of our questions without causing us to feel pressured at all. She made us feel right at home. She even followed up with us several days after the purchase. We also had the privilege of dealing with Curtis Caldwell and James Braxton, both of whom were also very friendly, professional, and accommodating. We spent more time with Curtis doing the paperwork, and we really enjoyed getting to know him a little bit. We had some really good conversations. Not wanting to leave anyone out, even the receptionist that we met as we first walked in the doors was very nice to us. After we left, I commented to my wife that I felt like we’d made new friends while we were there, and we are very pleased with our purchase. Thank you, MB of Athens, for having such a great team of people; we’ve already told others of our experience, and we will definitely be back some day! More

The sales associate was extremely knowledgeable and spent hours going th starting with professional and courteous management to the sales associates. The sales associate was extremely knowledgeable and spent hours going through both of our vehicles purchased here. He took the time to ensure the vehicles we desired, exterior and interior colors and options were there, locating vehicles throughout other Mercedes Benz dealers to satisfy our requirements - no pushing whatsoever. I highly recommend this dealership! More
