We’re sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction, but it’s important to address a few key facts. You purchased a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz from our dealership. The issue you experienced after the sale was not covered under the Lemon Law, yet despite having no legal obligation, we chose to cover the repair as a goodwill gesture—because we value our customers and stand behind what we sell. The delay in completing the repair was due to parts availability from Mercedes-Benz, not due to negligence or inaction on our part. We understand delays are frustrating, but it's unfair to direct that frustration toward our sales staff, who had no role in the repair process and were simply trying to assist. If you’d like to have a productive conversation or resolution, I invite you to reach out to me directly at nick@nykia.com. Any further discussion will need to go through me personally.

I provided my direct contact information so we could resolve this matter constructively and with transparency. The fact that you’ve chosen to continue responding publicly rather than reach out privately suggests a different motive—particularly given your claim that you’ve worked for both Toyota and Kia in the past. It raises a valid concern that this may be intentional and possibly driven by competitive bias rather than genuine customer dissatisfaction. As stated previously, the issue you experienced was addressed as a courtesy, despite being outside any warranty obligation. The delay was due to parts availability from Mercedes-Benz, not neglect on our part. We take accountability seriously and are always open to feedback—but we won’t allow false narratives or reputational attacks to go unchecked.

You guys cant even take accountability for putting the vehicle out on the lot to sell knowing it had a issue which, yes technically is a safety issue if the windshield fluid is not working & I have all the right to direct my frustration with your whole staff which was completely incompetent of helping in the slightest. I have worked for toyota & kia as well in the past and never seen anything like what you guys have going on.

You guys clearly cant get on the same page with each other either because thats not why there was a delay on getting the car fixed so what im hearing now is different from what had been told by the service department as well as the used car manager. Which adds to my original complaint of lack of communication & professionalism.
