Dealership with no integrity Avoid this dealership at all cost. I bought an used Acura TL from them several weeks ago. I only got one key for the car I bought. Both before and aft Avoid this dealership at all cost. I bought an used Acura TL from them several weeks ago. I only got one key for the car I bought. Both before and after I bought the car, I kept asking for the second key since every car should have them right? My sales Jenny just told me not to worry, she will ask somebody to look it for me after the manager came back so I agreed to closed the deal base upon that. Afterwards Jenny kept telling me she would check on it but weeks passed by and I still didn't get the key. So I decided to give them a call. Their sales manager answered and told me I should contact Jenny and he is not responsible for this. I told him the whole situation which I asked Jenny for the key and waited several weeks now. He checked the record for me and told me that on their system, there is only one key that are associated with this car. He also told me that "you bought a car which is nine years old! We sell it as it is! We have only one key and we have what we have! I know you may negotiate differently if you knew that the car only have one key but sir, you already get the discount and you did not pay for the full price sir!" Just Because I got a discount on the car and just because my car is nine years old, I suddenly got no right asking for some basic integrity from them to let me know the situation before I bought the car. EXCUSEEE ME??? What happened before I bought the car? What happens to all of those promises you made before you close the deal with them? Shouldn't I get acknowledged that the car only have one key before I bought it????? To me this key or even this car don't worth too much but that's not the point. To me this whole experience of buying the car just seems like some trick they play and after the deal, you have zero support and service. Please be aware and give it a second thought before you come to this dealership. More

Horrible Experience HORRIBLE CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE I am in the process of purchasing a car from Mercedes-Benz of Pleasanton. It has been the most horrible car buying HORRIBLE CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE I am in the process of purchasing a car from Mercedes-Benz of Pleasanton. It has been the most horrible car buying experience of my lifetime. Although I am the customer, and made this huge purchase, I am left feeling like my business doesn't matter and that I am a nuisance. We purchased our vehicle using our credit union, and the bank sent a cashier's check to the dealership for the full amount of the vehicle. You would think that's it, right? Bank certified check in hand = Keys in hand, in any other world. The dealership has explained to me that they usually wait until the CASHIER'S CHECK clears, before they deliver a vehicle. I know this to be untrue; my friend who referred me there paid by personal check, and immediately drove his car from the lot. I can only assume that race plays a part. I am a black man. Although I am paying by cashiers' check, my salesperson explained to me that because of my credit (on the report they ran illegally; we paid cash), they would need to hold the car. A paid for car, that I didn't use them to finance. Biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard. I am looking forward to getting my car, and running as far away from this place as I can. Do yourself a favor, patronize one of the many other MB dealers in the area, like I will for servicing my Benz. You may find that you are less of a nuisance and are treated more like a paying customer. I will speak to my attorney to find out what remedies are available. More
CPO BUYER BEWARE Let me preface this as buyer beware!! DONT BELIEVE them , car fax crap, take the vehicle and have in inspected by another mechanic.I purchased a CPO 1 Let me preface this as buyer beware!! DONT BELIEVE them , car fax crap, take the vehicle and have in inspected by another mechanic.I purchased a CPO 14 mercedes GL for 80k with 1000 miles. Salesmen was friendly, Vehicle was in and out of the shop 6 times in the first year of ownership, multiple problems with sensors going bad, seatbelts breaking, turbo problems, engine going into safety mode and not accelerating which throws ZERO codes and they have no idea how to fix nor fix because they couldnt replicate, I had to wait until the problem happened and drive it that way all the way to them so they can hook it up, this took 2 years before they could figure it out. I was lightly rear ended in a parking lot and had to replace the bumper, I took it to a Mercedes certified shop and was told by them that the upon inspection and replacing the bumper that this vehicle has been in a previous accident. BIg help the carfax with zero problems showed. SHADY dealer, not worthy of being a mercedes dealer., service department like most have said is true, slimy and shady service people who offer fake smiles and no quality service, will not buy another vehicle here or have service here. Hope this review helps someone else out there. More
Great customer service. Honest hard working folks. A++++ I have been to many Bay Area dealerships and Pleasanton Mercedes is just awesome. I can’t believe they got less than 5 stars. Every time I been there I have been to many Bay Area dealerships and Pleasanton Mercedes is just awesome. I can’t believe they got less than 5 stars. Every time I been there they have gone out of there way to help me. The service advisors have all been courteous. Get to know the folks there and have a level of normal expectations and all will be golden. More
Poor customer service Every time I walk into this place to get my car serviced, I feel like I am unwanted. No smiles. No friendly behavior. The service guy does not even lo Every time I walk into this place to get my car serviced, I feel like I am unwanted. No smiles. No friendly behavior. The service guy does not even look me into my eye. By far the worst service center. I have been to several Mercedes dealerships nationwide and this one sucks. The service man did not even fill air in the tyres when the car tyres had low pressure. More
Buyers Beware We previously had wonderful experiences at this dealership. What is tough is the services is not consistent throughout the entire team. Our sales rep We previously had wonderful experiences at this dealership. What is tough is the services is not consistent throughout the entire team. Our sales rep was great(Virgil). Then the brand new vehicle we purchased within two weeks had smoke piling into the vents from the engine. We brought it in and our Rep was barely involved and lacked follow up. Then a week later same problem. I called to odviously exchange the vehicle as anyone would. I was transferred to a sales manager who said"it's like me buying a house, you can't return it". His name is Raymond.... it's a shame how far away from customer service this dealership has come. But more importantly you should know that they focus on protecting there bottom line more than running an ethical business ... buyers beware. More
SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER IS BAD MB of Pleasanton has very bad and I meant very bad Service. Let me tell you what happen to me. I bought two Cars from them since last year. Bought ext MB of Pleasanton has very bad and I meant very bad Service. Let me tell you what happen to me. I bought two Cars from them since last year. Bought extra prepaid maintenance. Brought my completely new car in for some installation on parts. Was told it be done in a day. Got a shuttle service back to work. End of day they call and said you need to leave overnight. What the heck! and no one come pick me up from Shuttle so I can get a rental car. I had to take UBER back to their place for a rental car. Now you tell me what kind of service is this? Pick up the car two days later. The service manager name JULIA was a grumpy, very unpleasant, prejudice against other race, unfriendly manner, never apologized or at least accommodate the customer to waive the fee of the installation etc. The service advisor overcharged my invoice and didn't realize it until I pointed out to him. They don't deserve to work at a prestige company like Mercedez Benz and what kind of bad attitude customer service are they serving??. I will spread the words to others MB owners that what a disappointment I have in MB of Pleasanton. More
Unethical Sales strategy I bought a preowned E350 coupe from this dealership a couple month ago and not to mention, it was my worst experience ever from the moment you walk in I bought a preowned E350 coupe from this dealership a couple month ago and not to mention, it was my worst experience ever from the moment you walk in, to until you close the deal. To start with, while we were reviewing their inventory, their Internet Sales associate David Castro seems least interested in entertaining us going through the cars and even mentions that I may not be able to buy it.. like Really ?? Who are you to define that ? To add further, somehow we managed to close the deal and agreed to return with the payment cheque (from my bank, as I had a pre-approved loan and did not wish to go with MB Finance), David talked us into putting up a petty downpayment to block the car. We returned two days later to take the delivery and was informed that as part of Memorial Day deals, Mercedes is offering a 2- year free prepaid maintenance program on CPO E-class vehicles. And although we should have been entitled for the offer, David devoid us the offer because he had reported our Sale on 30th of last month (just to raise his Sales Bonus for previous month). What a crap !! We reached out to his Manager informing him of the situation and he promised us to get the offer added to our purchase from the backend and requested to us go forward with the purchase. To our surprise, this wasn't accomplished either. By far, the worst experience even while spending nearly $48k on a car. Have been suggesting my family and friends to not visit this dealership even if they try to lure you with 100 lucrative specials. More
