ASC in VA - American Service Center offers a Benz for a loaner as long as you call ahead and reserve one. Its not based on whether you purchased it from them or not.

Euromotorcars in Bethesda gives M-B loaners. Call for a reservation for both service and the loaner. I do not know if the loaner benefit is contingent on your having purchased the car from them. Why don't you ask them?

I've had my coupe in the ASC's shop twice - every time they would give me a voucher good for a rental car from a nearby Enterprise (in both cases appointments had been arranged in advance by phone).

When I was shopping for a car, their salesperson had mentioned that they do NOT offer Benzes as loaners.

vadim - If you call ahead and request one, they'll have one for you when you arrive. If you don't request it specifically and try to get one then, it won't work.

THeLeland - I feel your pain with HBL, when i ordered my car, they were not too good...specially the snide comment I got from the manager... to make a long story short, i asked them if they would throw anything in with the car for free... and the manager walked over and said not even his wifes car got anything for free...it's just the attitude that it all came out with ... all i said was, i didnt' ask about your wife, i was asking for me. With more of his attitude, i finally told him that they can keep my order for now but if i find a dealer that even gives me a toy model for free, i'm goign to buy it from them....later i found a dealership in b'more that threw in the cd changer for free... they were much nicer people.....

i wrote to the management of HBL and I got a key chain and a promise that the next time i buy a benz, they will work with me..yeah right!..they must think i buy benzes everyday
