I am known as “ Mikey Mercedes” and that is due to my passion for Mercedes and the love of what I do! Getting to meet so many incredible people is what excites me the most about my profession. Most of our clients are now some of my best friends. My goal is to give our client an experience that is free of headaches, free of stories, and most importantly free of the salesman “fluff” After more than 3000 sales, I am proud to say that most of my business is now repeat and referral. This is true only because I do not just deliver the “finest engineered car in the world“ I deliver a relationship that is prepared to handle all of their automotive needs at any time. I am dedicated and committed to my pursuit of accommodating and creating an experience “ like no other” for all. I have a bachelor’s degree in business from Hofstra University and started my career here at Helms Bros. 24 years ago , cleaning cars. Now, I have been the “Salesman of the Year” for the last continuous 16 years.

⭐☆☆☆☆ I was in the market for a new Mercedes-Benz lease and found a salesperson who goes by **"Mikey Mercedes"** through his Instagram page. After calling him on Friday and receiving no response, I f lease and found a salesperson who goes by **"Mikey Mercedes"** through his Instagram page. After calling him on Friday and receiving no response, I followed his instructions and sent a text with the vehicle I was interested in. He replied that he would call me back on Sunday, but he never did. By Monday, after still not hearing from him, I called again and sent a follow-up text asking if he intended to return my call. His response was that he was busy with "back-to-back calls." I told him that was fine and that I would simply lease a Mercedes elsewhere. He then called me, and I calmly explained that I was disappointed with the lack of communication and felt the customer service had been unprofessional. As I ended the call, he told me, **"Go xxxx yourself."** I immediately called back to make sure I had heard him correctly. He confirmed it and repeated the same phrase multiple times. He then challenged me by saying, **"If you want to find me, come find me,"** while repeatedly giving me the dealership's address. I have never experienced anything like this from someone representing a luxury automotive brand. Regardless of whether someone ultimately makes a purchase, no prospective customer should be spoken to in this manner or challenged to come to a dealership. I contacted the sales manager immediately after the incident. He was apologetic and listened to my concerns, which I appreciated. However, this type of behavior is completely unacceptable and falls far below the level of professionalism I would expect from a Mercedes-Benz dealership. I hope dealership management and Mercedes-Benz USA take this incident seriously so no other customer has a similar experience. More
