Our Approach To Service
We keep our recommendations as simple and understandable as possible. It’s our job to help every customer understand what we are going to do, what that involves and what the outcome will be. It’s our job and we’re happy to do it. Value is important to you and to us.
Every customer has individual needs and requirements that we take into account in making service recommendations and scheduling work. While some customers are seeking reliability and OEM specifications others are performance oriented. When we talk the first time we’ll ask you some questions so we can get a precise understanding of exactly what you want and make recommendations that fit your need and your budget.

Pre-purchase Inspections
We highly recommend pre-purchase inspections to all of our customers buying pre-owned cars. There is nothing more disappointing than buying a car with hidden problems that take the fun out of owning a Mercedes and are often involve expensive repairs. Our pre-purchase inspections begin by knowing the inherent strengths and weaknesses of any model and individual model years. Then we look the car over for any body/paint work, accident damage. All suspension joints/components drive line checked for excess wear/play, exhaust system, under carriage. All systems checked for leaks. Proper function of all accessories, Klima, when time permitting hot/cold start function tested. Test drive to verify transmission in proper order, engine making adequate power, alignment, brakes, ABS all tested. If convertible, top verified to function properly.
Note – any seller who is resistant to a PPI or refuses an inspection is hiding something. Walk away. |
