I bought a 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL550 with only 8,500 miles on it from Joe Kase, the owner of Genuine Motorcars, about 1 year ago. I have waited this long to see if I would have any problems with it or his com on it from Joe Kase, the owner of Genuine Motorcars, about 1 year ago. I have waited this long to see if I would have any problems with it or his company. It has worked perfectly. The only problem I had was that Joe sent it out to an MB dealership to have the Nav system updated at my request to help make the deal. Well, that dealership messed it up, and it could not be repaired because of the age of the car. The car did not have CarPlay in it, and I was going to upgrade it to an aftermarket system when I got it back to Texas. Now with CarPlay, you can use Google Maps, which works better than the MB system anyway. Joe said he felt very bad about the only problem I had with the car or the buying experience. HE told me he would pay for it. Now it was not his problem, and there was really no warranty from him or his company, but he did it anyway. He is a great guy, and I would buy another car from him if I ever needed one and he had it. I flew from Texas to Florida, and he had someone pick me up at the airport and bring me to his office. I signed all the paperwork after looking the car over and test driving. The car was just as he said it was and more. I was on the road driving the car back to Texas in about 3 hours. Yes He could have shipped it to me, but I really wanted to drive the car. I also want to say I worked with Jim DiGuiseppe on all the paperwork, and he also answered any questions I had on the car, CarFax, or other things that came to mine. Jim is also very easy to work with, as is this company. Jim and I talked about getting an extended warranty, and I told him I would think about. Well, when I got back, I did some digging into extended warranties, "MB are very expensive to work on," and the one he was telling me about ended up being the best one, and HE had the cheapest price. I called a few MB dealerships to see if they took the one Jim was selling, and they did. I also got the Wheel warranty, and a good thing I did because 2 months after I got it, I rubbed the front rim and got it repaired, there was no deductible, and the price would have been $475.00. Sorry for the long review, but I think this company deserves it.. Blaise Vezie More

I have bought two cars from this dealership. Both cars were what was advertised and in great shape. Had a problem with delivery on my purchase as it took over 4 weeks after purchase to receiv Both cars were what was advertised and in great shape. Had a problem with delivery on my purchase as it took over 4 weeks after purchase to receive but this was a combination of issues. Was offered money back for the issue. Corresponded with Jim initially with good response but then essentially got "ghosted". Never received the money back that was promised. No follow up, I give them a 3 because the car and initial purchase experience was goo but after funds were wired the service and attention was not present and never received the money back as promised.

Only complaint was that the vehicle wasn’t ready when said. Not sure that it was their fault or the dealership that serviced it. I was provided a nice loaner while I waited on delivery. More

I had an outstanding experience buying a car from Genuine Motorcars. Jim was very responsive and helpful, and really put my mind at ease as I purchased the vehicle online, site unseen. He took the time to Motorcars. Jim was very responsive and helpful, and really put my mind at ease as I purchased the vehicle online, site unseen. He took the time to Facetime with me to show me the car, and pointed out any flaws or maintenance that they would address before shipping it to me. Jim was able to secure me a better interest rate on the loan, and took care of the paperwork in a seamless transaction. When the car arrived, it looked like new and I couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend Genuine Motorcars, and rest assured that they will take care of you. More
