Even when picking up the car everyone at the dealership were super friendly yet professional. I personally can not fault them & would definitely recommend their services.
Will definitely be back to see Thomas for my future car purchases!
I recently purchased a Mercedes from Southampton and a month down the line, the engine management light came on so I went to Waltham cross to get it fixed- under warranty. The NOc sensor failed so they replaced it. It’s now august, and the same engine management light came on and AGAIN it was to do with the NOc sensor.
Bearing in mind, I left my car with them at around 9 in the morning, they called me an HOUR BEFORE CLOSING to tell me it’s the same issue. They informed me that I don’t have warranty and I will have for any repairs. This is the same thing they tried to ‘fix’ back in December.
I hardly drive the car and only did 1500 miles in 8 months so surely it’s no fault of my own. At this point I was thinking why on earth should I have to pay. The woman, named Louise (who dealt with my matter the whole time) who was incredibly condescending and unpleasant to talk to said that she made a claim to Mercedes warranty to see whether they could sort something out for me. I asked her, worse case scenario, how much will it cost if Mercedes can’t pay, she said over £600. I was absolutely mortified by this news and put under A LOT of pressure.
The next day after a terrible sleep, I called Mercedes warranty hotline with the intention to ask them whether a claims been made since Waltham cross were failing to keep me updated and I had to do all the chasing round!! Jim from the warranty team notified me that I AM covered and DO have a warranty which ends at the end of the year. At this point I felt like Waltham cross were trying to rob me. What’s more, Jim explained that a claim was NOT made (Louise said she made the claim before calling me) and double checked his emails or what have you. Later, he said even if I didn’t have warranty, this is something that they should cover and I should not have to pay a single penny because they installed the part back in December- and it hasn’t even been a year!!!
I called Waltham cross to ask them what on earth was happening with my car- at this point I was carless for the second day and they were not attending to the needs of my car. I also had to correct her and say that I do have warranty and I have confirmation of this. She totally disregarded that piece of information and said that she didn’t have to make a claim because the problem got rectified after she called me. THEN WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME YOU MADE THE CLAIM?! It gets worse, she then tells me the NOc sensor is fine, the issue was to do with THE WAY THEY INSTALLED IT back in December! Bearing in mind, this is the Mercedes garage that repairs cars, not no backstreet garage on the high street. Anyway, she failed to apologise for their wrongs or the inconvenience she caused. How utterly disgusting. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE customer service, especially from lousie..
I was highly stressed and would not recommend this branch to anyone. Please travel the extra few miles to get a better service, because I will.
I was told they would ring me when the car is delivered to the branch. I happily left the place thinking I finally found the car I was looking for.
Two days later I received a call from the same guy who said the car was most certainly mine saying “we went to collect the car for you from our Romford Branch. As we were leaving with the car the manager stopped us and informed us that the car was sold to Yorkshire two weeks ago. I am so sorry. I know its disappointing but there is nothing we could do”. He went on to saying I should carry on looking for a car as I am only one person but he has 50 customers to find cars.
I phoned the branch to speak to the manager but was told there is no manager until Monday. I asked the sales person I spoke to (not the same guys who sold me the first car) whether if the system would keep a sold car in such a way, the sales person said that should not be the case. He said “i understand if its one hour but not two weeks”.
It ruined my trust and confidence in Mercedes team. This is the second time the same branch let us down.
After speaking to a former mercedes employee he said “Mercedes system is very efficient and it would never keep a car sold two weeks ago on the system. There is something fishy about it. I would report this as someone is bringing disrepute to Mercedes’s name. Head office will chase this up. The Mercedes I know will not tolerate such bad treatment”.
I have the paperwork of the car they said will be sold to me which I will be sending to the head office. I will follow this issue up as further as it goes as I am disappointed with the service and treatment.
