Ray Catena of Freehold - Service Center

Avoid this place at ALL COSTS!!!!!!! I've brought my GL here almost 5 times in 6 months. Every time it comes in, they nickel and dime every single repair, and always push for unnecessary I've brought my GL here almost 5 times in 6 months. Every time it comes in, they nickel and dime every single repair, and always push for unnecessary repairs to up sell their services (put new wipers on 2 days before service - was told i needed new ones when brought in here). My recent visit was the straw that broke the camel's back - when it was a 300 dollar AC repair, that rose to 2500 dollars within 30 minutes, since they "forgot" to tell me about a few other things. When i refused the repairs, it became a negotiation - and they could reduce the cost to 1500 - my question is - why are you trying to charge me an additional 1000 dollars, and only when i ask to have my car back, begin negotiating repair costs - when the xxxx has a service center ever been a place of significant negotiation?? Also - they slow rolled my initial repair as i was killing time speaking with sales - in hopes of me buying a car from them. Overall, the shadiest place i've ever been too - they single handedly have almost turned me off from the brand all together. I will NEVER bring my cars there, and have made sure to tell everyone i know to avoid this place at all costs. Horrible, horrible service. Beyond shady operation. BBB complaint submitted. Hope this place goes away and ceases to tarnish an overall great brand in Mercedes. More

Always a ripoff I bought my car at this dealership. Every service visit starts and ends with extortion. Last one got me to the point where I will never buy another I bought my car at this dealership. Every service visit starts and ends with extortion. Last one got me to the point where I will never buy another Mercedes in my life. They quoted me over $4000.00 worth of work and the work did not address the concern that made me bring in the car. When I asked about the issue I brought the car in originally for, they told me they needed to do the work they recommended first and they could not tell if anything else was wrong. More

1 of the only reasons I go to MB of Freehold...Dondi Pollera I bought all my Mercedes with Freehold ever since I've worked with Larry Pius (by far the best salesperson I have ever dealt with). The reason for pur I bought all my Mercedes with Freehold ever since I've worked with Larry Pius (by far the best salesperson I have ever dealt with). The reason for purchasing from this dealership is the excellent service. Dondi Pollera runs the best service I have ever experienced. I have bought many cars (all different brands) but will always buy a Mercedes as long as Dondi is the one I deal with. You will not understand honest service until you deal with Dondi & staff.

We dropped our 2008 Mercedes off the evening prior to it being serviced. The overnight drop box was convenient and we had no problem locating the envelope to fill out, as well as a pen to write with. The being serviced. The overnight drop box was convenient and we had no problem locating the envelope to fill out, as well as a pen to write with. The area was well lit and we did not feel uneasy about leaving the car. I might add... we never made an appointment ahead of time. We happened to be in the area and decided it was best to have the car serviced (tire problem). I had intended to call the dealership the next morning, but I was pleasantly surprised when I received a phone call from Mary first thing in the a.m. with a diagnosis and cost for repairs. Mary was very nice to speak with on the phone, and she was knowledgeable about the repairs that were needed. The completion time for the repair was first rate. The car was ready in just a few hours and when we arrived to pick up the car, it had been washed complimentary. Mercedes Benz of Freehold went over and above servicing this vehicle, when they could have made us wait without scheduling the appointment ahead of time. I would have liked to discuss a few issues I have with my car with a service manager, but there was a meeting in progress and no one was available, but no problem, I can discuss at a later time. I felt that my vehicle was expertly serviced and would recommend this dealership over any other. Thank You for your help! More
