Drove from The Woodlands to Georgetown in 3 hrs last Friday. The car was everything they said it would be. We drove out 1.5 hrs later in our 2014 ML350 and couldn't be happier. Hats off to Ken Shipp and his colleagues. More

Best experience we have ever experienced!!!! Everyone treated us as if we were the most important people who ever walked thru their doors!!! My husband had been communicating with Tim Ewalt for Everyone treated us as if we were the most important people who ever walked thru their doors!!! My husband had been communicating with Tim Ewalt for better part of a year! We have looked high and low for about 2 years for the car we wanted It seemed it just wasn't out there.....anywhere and we checked dealerships all over the country between Texas and California!! We were about to decide we needed to settle for something else..... maybe even brand X Surprise surprise ...... we had to be in Killeen then RoundRick last week and my husband wanted to go check out the inventory at George Town Mercedes Long story short.....,,Tim found our car but with a lot more options than we had wanted. A deal was struck and we are now the proud owners of a gorgeous E250 Bluetec!!! We are still amazed at the deal they made us and still impressed at the royal treatment shown us!!! Driving is not usually a fun thing for me, more a necessary evil to survive this this world I had the pleasure of driving our new Benz from Round Rick to Lubbock yesterday It was awesome..... not only super comfortable but such a delight to drive!! I soon relaxed and my 300 plus drive home was easy as pie for me!!! I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership....from the customer lounge which offered assorted beverages and snacks to all the employees who made this car buying experience better than any other....Ever!!! Thank you each and everyone of you at Mercedes Benz of George Town Texas!!! More

What a mess! What a mess this dealership is – and the amount of employee turnover is mind-boggling Last month I called to speak to Christal, the latest “Service C What a mess this dealership is – and the amount of employee turnover is mind-boggling Last month I called to speak to Christal, the latest “Service Consultant” with whom I worked, and left a message on her voicemail. I wanted to speak to her to follow up on the last service visit as I kept receiving inaccurate “Know Your Vehicle” reports. About 40 minutes later I received an email from some guy named Adam Fontenot, confirming my appointment for the following Monday (a date, BTW, when I was going to be out of the country) which apparently was set up by my “Advisor”, Richard (another guy with whom I had never spoken). Within 6 minutes of the email I received a call from some very annoying woman at the dealership to confirm this appointment – the appointment I never made – clearly unbeknownst to her. She did not seem to have any idea what was happening and didn’t even know that I had not made the appointment. Then she involved some other woman who told me that Richard had told her to set up the appointment. She could not even explain why she had chosen the time and date or what was going to be done at this appointment. I explained that I had actually called to speak to Christal and had simply left a message for her to call me. It was only then that I was told that, notwithstanding the fact that Christal’s voicemail was still active, “she left a while ago”. Richard is now the seventh Service Consultant (Ryan, Jeff, Nathan, Tony, Michael, Christal – and now apparently Richard) which I have had at this dealership in the last 29/30 months – the first six having left now. Even stranger is the fact that new management has started hiring back some of the people who left or were let go under previous management. One guy who I was told by the former Service Manager was fired for being “completely out of touch” (his words not mine) is back again. (As a point of reference I try to have the cars serviced at MB Houston North as often as possible. There everything works as it should and I have had the same Service Advisor for 8 years!) During my last service visit to Mercedes Benz of Georgetown (MBG) there were all sorts of problems – to mention only a few: the mileage on the car listed was off by 2,000+ miles; the service report was a reprint of one from a former visit where most if not all of the items had since been taken care of during that penultimate service visit; and I was quoted one charge – in writing – for a transmission service and then charged a different amount (needless to say higher). When asked for my insurance card (for the loaner car) I requested that they make a copy of it and give it back to me as last time they lost the card – yes you guessed it they lost it again – and after 20 minutes finally found it in the new shop area. They also told me that I had 2 tires which had “dry rot” and needed replacement. I then asked for an up-to-date report to be emailed to me – and once again was just sent the old, inaccurate one. When I questioned it again I was told “we are working out the kinks in the system”. The dry rot tires claim is an interesting one. I had the same tires checked by Discount Tires (DT) 2 days later and was told they could find no dry rot. Whilst the tires were coming up on time for replacement due to tread wear DT found no dry rot. The replacement costs for the EXACT same tires at DT was $470 (plus tax) compared to the $750.20 (plus tax) quoted by MBG. After the last two visits to MBG I came away with the distinct impression that there was a “push” on in the Service Department to sell tires as three other people in the waiting room were told their tires had dry rot. Out of nine people in the waiting area - 4 had tires with dry rot - what are the odds? I don’t know if the new management needs even more time (they bought the place 9+ months ago) to work things out but clearly there is something very wrong here. The place is mass confusion and much of this is exacerbated by the silly procedures which the new management has installed. There are all sorts of people, mostly kids, standing around in the forecourt, doing virtually nothing. Once you finally get into the forecourt (as inexplicably there is a constant line of cars backed up outside) one has to check in with one of them and give them various bits of information. Then through the first of many breakdowns in communication at this place, one then must “check-in” at this silly little “Concierge” desk which has been plopped by the door and explain everything again. Once the “Concierge” cannot find your appointment (which in my experience is the norm) more confusion ensues. Finally, you meet with a “Service Advisor” who again has been given no information from the first 2 people. If you need a loaner you should add 25-30 minutes to the whole process. When it is time to collect your car this whole farce plays out again and don’t apply any logic at this point in the process either. If you go to the cashier’s counter to pay your bill you will be sent back to the “Concierge” to actually collect the invoice and other related paperwork – if your Advisor has remembered to close it out. If not, then all sorts of people go on an “Easter Egg Hunt” to try to find the paperwork to check you out. If you are lucky your car is not still in the car wash and you can then leave shortly thereafter. More

Their Service sucks! It seems they do not want to sell cars at all. It was a whole chasing process for me. I had shown interest in leasing a car with them. Sales Rep Mark It seems they do not want to sell cars at all. It was a whole chasing process for me. I had shown interest in leasing a car with them. Sales Rep Mark promised to give us numbers and call back but it did not happen the way he said. Forget about working on numbers even after telling we want to buy the car by end of week, he never called back. After I gave two calls I got in touch he gave some numbers and as negotiation cycle works , I asked him to rework and he said he will call bak. As unexpected from a mercedes service he did not give a call back. I spoke to Manager Tony and he said I can understand your frustration and I will counsell Mark that's it! They have no courtsey as a dealership to work with custsomer on hiis complaint. Shameful of them to have this reknowed mercedes brand name associated with them if they do not know how to sell a car.

Great Experience! A lot of negative reviews up here so I thought I would share our experience to level the playing field and get something up that's more recent. My wif A lot of negative reviews up here so I thought I would share our experience to level the playing field and get something up that's more recent. My wife and I were interested in for a Certified Pre-Owned GLK350 that I had inquired about through the internet. Within minutes I got a call back from Jacob Steger who said he would be happy to show is the car. We went in that Saturday and after test driving the car, my wife was underwhelmed. Nothing against the vehicle, she was just used to driving a larger Saturn Outlook SUV and the GLK is a smaller vehicle in terms of being a crossover. Jacob didn't pressure us at all. He listened to our comments and waited for us to come up with the next move. I glanced across the parking lot and asked my wife if she liked any of the cars. After about 15 minutes while Jacob and I were walking the aisles I noticed my wife had glued herself to a 2014 Lunar Blue C250. It was well within out budget, CPO, low mileage and spotless for a two year old car. She was sold. Although it ALWAYS takes too long at any dealership, it wasn't too bad. Jacob was awesome. No hint of the typical high pressure cars salesperson. Financing was great, Brant Wimpee, the guy that took care of the paperwork (finance manager?) was funny and managed to carry on a conversation with us while navigating through a mountain of paperwork. Terrific experience, amazing car and we are now first time MB owners. More
