Mercedes-Benz of Walnut Creek
Dealership Sales Review
1). They Lie. I was told during the sales process that the dealership provided pick-up and delivery on service appointments. I found 2 weeks after purchase that was not true. 2). Inconsiderate. They had me leave with my new car without giving the car a detail. I pointed out that there were light white "blotches" all over the car and I wanted those removed before I took delivery. The salesperson, Kevin, promised that once the car was detailed the spots would vanish. He said the spots were "something they put on the cars to protect them from the elements..." I called to schedule a detail appointment (something that should have been done WHILE I waited to take delivery) and I was informed that they only "detailed" Mon - Thurs, they do not pick up and deliver, and I could drop off...." 3). The car. The monitor doesn't work, the auto-off headlights don't work, the touch unlock on the driver's door works sporadically. 4). Swarmly Finance Manager. the guy is a creep. After I completed my paperwork with him he was clearly upset that I didn't fall for his extended service agreement sales pitch. As I was leaving his office he said, "We're done here, but I just want to know why you would decline an offer that could potentially save you so much and save you (some or all I was unclear) on scheduled maintenance. After 3 Mercedes and 2 BMWs I have come to know that I don't owe him or anyone else an explanation. I made some remark and said if we're done I'll go. He was gross. I called Mercedes Benz USA and was told that in CA there is no "cooling off period" on a lease and that the car was leased "as is..." Yesterday I had the car detailed and no, the blotches did not disappear. In fact, the detailer found more. The car is covered with them. It is like the car has chicken pox. I am filing a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency for California. My goal will be to be released from this lease.
