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 2000 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. 18 years ago , cleaning cars. Now, I have been the “Salesman of the Year” for the last continuous 13 years.

Mike gave us very clear and professional input and advice regarding our potential purchase. During this conversation he brought up the new 2020 GLE SUV and suggested we consider it. To make a long story short, we took Mike's advice and went ahead with the 2020 GLE and we couldn't have been happier! The vehicle is amazing and was totally worth the extra wait. Everything went smoothly as we ended up with the exact color and option spec we were looking for. A+ all around. More

Great Mikey was great. He exceeded every expectation I had. The price I got for the trade in was great. The price I got the for the GLS 450 was great. Mikey was great. He exceeded every expectation I had. The price I got for the trade in was great. The price I got the for the GLS 450 was great. And overall I’ve loved the GLS. It drives wonderfully. It has all exceeded my expectations in almost every way. My only disappointment is really my own fault—based on mistakes in my research. I thought the GLS came standard with cooled seats and a heated steering wheel. I didn’t realize these weren’t standard—but were options. My research was wrong, and I was a little surprised that the GLS that I purchased didn’t have these options. I might consider in a year or two trading the GLS for a more highly optioned model. But I would 100% contact Mikey and his team at Helms if I chose to trade it in. Overall though I’ve been incredibly happy with the service I’ve received. More
