I would like to give a shout out to Mike B from Service - Photaigaming

I would like to give a shout out to Mike B from Service advising as he perfectly embodies the three principles of being disingenuous, dishonest, and apathetic. He is everything that is the antithesis of customer service. Mike was uninterested and disingenuous when I told him I wanted to take my broken car to another service location because the service quote Mercedes gave me was too expensive considering how old my vehicle is. He gave me no other options, nor did he try to work with me, and instead I was given a look of disdain and treated as if I was stupid. I was fortunate enough to have met Mr. Lamont who was concerned for my broken sounding car and my safety, and did his best to negotiate the price with me and ultimately convinced me to keep my car with them for service. BUT I regret that choice. When I had ultimately decided to go ahead with the repair on a Wednesday, I had been told it would be ready by Friday by Mike. When Friday came by, no one from Mercedes reached out to me about the status of my car and I had to call them myself to ask what was the situation. It was only when I had called that Mike told me only the parts had just came through and my car hasn't been worked on yet, so it would not be ready until the following Monday. When I mentioned to him that he was the one who told me my car would be ready by Friday when I originally decided to go ahead with the service, Mike not only gaslighted me but denied that he ever said that. There was no accountability to even admit his own mistake or miscommunication. As a result of his miscommunication, this has costed me several days worth of Uber/Lyft rides. Lastly, on the day of pick up, as if it were even remotely appropriate, Mike had thought it would be smart enough to make a joke about my financial status given my employment. "Oh, if you're a [my job], why didn't you just pay the full price then, haha" I shouldn't have to explain that everyone comes from different backgrounds and I didn't come to Mercedes to have to explain my own financial situation to anyone and be looked down on. I came to Mercedes because I have before in the past to other Mercedes service locations (not the Fresno one) and I care for my car that I have been driving and dependent on for a long time. Mike has demonstrated to be apathetic to any customer given his reputable history of repeated terrible reviews here on Google. Unless I am blind or someone cannot read, it is amazing that he still has a job there at Mercedes. It has been clear that someone has not learned "if there is nothing good to say, then just shut your mouth." Mr. Lamont thank you for your customer service. It is something that Mike has yet to learn and add to his vocabulary. I hope you plaster this review next to his desk as a reminder of how much of a great employee he is and how much he means to Mercedes. He truly goes above and beyond treating his customers poorly. It's amazing that he is one of the first faces you will see if you try to bring in your car for repair. I would rather have driven my broken car and crashed than to be serviced with Mike. This is just utterly very unprofessional service, especially at a Mercedes dealership. I would NEVER come back again because of how degrading and irresponsible Mike was.
