Another reason why the mercedes dealer sucks!

it's time for me to renew my register my car and i needed a smog, so i go and everythings fine but the check engine light doesn't come on???? i take it to my dad's shop and pull out my dash and what do i find??? the light blub and socket are gone?????? i have no idea why they did this and it just adds to a long list of problems and headache's they caused me, for example they were supposed to rewire my door sills due to my car accident, i pulled it apart and it's still the same wiring jimmydagreek and I did!!!! all they did was put some tape around the lose part...... charged me 450 and wired my side mirror wrong..... so now when i push my hazzad light nothing works???????? and to top if off they charged me 220 to check my battery, they said they changed it but i checked and it's still my oringal battery........... i am in the middle of filing a complaint to the (bar) and wrote a letter to the general manager and mercedes benz main headquarters in jersey.....

The reason why people go there in the first place is probably cuz they don't know what to do or think they can do it better.........so there's got to be some reliance and an element of trust....In other words, how can most customers check out what they do and in fact, should they even do it since they paid for "premium" service? Dang, if they cannot be trusted, who can we trust and why should we pay a premium for their "service"?

Sorry to hear that Alex, yeah, make sure you esculate this issue and hopefully they'll learn from the experience....and I hope you were properly "compensated" by the chick who caused all this in the first place:p

lawyers are soo lazy.....i hope she pays for it too, damn *****, heheh, can't let 16-17 years drive.........i think the thing is that a "fixed up" might be hard for the dealer to work on but then again if they didn't want to do it then say so, i wouldn't care, i only went there because i had too.......i'm lucky my dad's got a shop or else i wouldn't know either but getting ripped off isn't cool....... and i told them i am prepared to picket outside, go to the local channels to get my story out........i've already got jacked over by the bodyshop and i'm working on that case but in america everything takes time, (i'm not patient)...........

I've been around here a while, and I don't know when I've seen such an offensive post. I found it tasteless, and juvenile. I am shocked it wasn't pulled. I keep wondering why we don't have more females in this forum, at this rate we won't have.

let me ask you this, do you know what dave and I were talking about? if not then i don't see a reason for the comment you made. like what i've always said, if you don't like what you see then don't comment on it, that's how things blow up......sorry if you feel like that..........
