From the time I first walked through the front door till the time I drove home my new Mercedes I was treated like a special customer. I’ve been buying new cars for 50 years and this experience has been the the time I drove home my new Mercedes I was treated like a special customer. I’ve been buying new cars for 50 years and this experience has been the absolute best. I want to give Ryan Natale a special thanks for making my purchase as easy as possible. I often said buying a new car was like going to the dentist for a root canal but that all changed when I went to Ray Catena of Union and met Ryan Natale. He kept me informed of the whole process, from the build date in Germany to the ship date to the US. I knew exactly what was happening. I could not be more pleased with the service I received at this dealership. If you go there ask for Ryan Natale and you will be assured of the same level of service I received. 👍 More

I just want to share what a pleasure it was to work with Jessica Cohen at Ray Catena Mercedes Benz of Union. It was a seamless process - selecting and purchasing a GLE AMG. As a long time die hard BMW owner Jessica Cohen at Ray Catena Mercedes Benz of Union. It was a seamless process - selecting and purchasing a GLE AMG. As a long time die hard BMW owner, it was not easy to break my loyalty. But Jessica (and James) were able to find me my perfect match and make me an offer that I couldn’t refuse. Jessica was professional, not pushy - she listened, she heard me and she got me. BTW the showroom is one of the nicer I’ve been in, lots of inventory (even though I ended up ordering the vehicle I wanted), excellent service at every level - from the receptionist to the tech I spoke with at length (Diana). Everyone exuded a warmth, and graciousness that Ray Catena can be proud of. More

Dear Mr. Catena, Mr. Liguori, and Mr. Castello, I am writing to formally express my profound disappointment with the way I was treated by Ray Catena Mercedes Catena, Mr. Liguori, and Mr. Castello, I am writing to formally express my profound disappointment with the way I was treated by Ray Catena Mercedes Benz of Union regarding the conclusion of my lease on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC300W4. As a long time customer, I expected a level of professionalism, customer service, and fair treatment befitting of the Mercedes-Benz brand. Instead, I was met with dismissiveness, discrimination as a woman, unfair policies, and what I can only describe as a complete disregard for customer loyalty. I leased my vehicle under a 48 month term lease with a 10,000 mile annual allowance. Despite being well under the mileage limit- only 21,000 (and it had 8,000 miles prior) with 5 months remaining- and the vehicle being in pristine condition, I was denied any accommodation to end my lease early without financial penalty. Rather than working with me to find a reasonable solution, I was charged for the remaining months in full and forced to pay an additional month simply because I chose not purchase or lease another vehicle. This is an appalling and unjustified policy that penalizes customers for making decisions in their best financial interest. Beyond the financial aspect, the level of customer service I received was dismissive and condescending, particularly as a female customer. I left this experience not only frustrated by the dealership’s rigid and exploitative policies, but also deeply disappointed by the way I was treated throughout the process. Neither manager had the decency to come over and speak to me. The lack of respect, unwillingness to engage in a reasonable conversation, and complete absence of any customer appreciation are unacceptable and a stain on the reputation of a brand that prides itself on luxury and service excellence. I am bringing this to your attention because I believe that no customer- especially one that has spent $28,000 on a vehicle- should be treated in this manner. If this is how Ray Catena Mercedes-Benz chooses to do business, I will be sure to take my future purchases and recommendations elsewhere. Additionally, I feel compelled to share my experience with others so they can make informed decisions about where they choose to do business. I expect a formal response to this matter and an explanation for why I was treated this way. I hope that Mercedes-Benz values its customers more than what I have experienced at Ray Catena in Union, New Jersey. More

Lenny and the team at the dealership made the entire process effortless. They were upfront about everything and gave us a good price. The Union location for Ray Catena ( Mercedes Benz of Union) had the process effortless. They were upfront about everything and gave us a good price. The Union location for Ray Catena ( Mercedes Benz of Union) had the largest inventory available. My wife and I are completely satisfied with her new vehicle. We did purchase a certified pre-owned 2022 GLC 300 that had only 5,221 miles on it. Car is still very much brand new and we saved a lot of money going this route over new. Also, warranty is better than new car warranty- that I don’t understand how they do it but it’s true. Thank you Lenny and Mercedes Benz of Union. More
