they are the absolute best !

Call Mark Barsoomian (sales mgr.) and tell him that Barry reccommended you. You can also try David Pullima who handles all the internet business.

Service is phenomenal and I had absolutley zero hassles with the NAV replacement and got a few goodies thrown in.

Try Penske Motor Cars as well. Lenny Sarmiento is the Fleet Manager and can be reached at (626) 859-1244. Straight shooting kindda guy. We checked out Fletcher Jones and felt like just another number. Customer service left a lot to be desired of. I guess they are too busy to call back. Then again, I am a simple looking very unassuming guy who goes around in shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt. May not fit the profile for Fletcher.

Good Luck!

I like fletcher jones' location and service center..not their "service" if you know what i mean.

As for sales, why not contact a fellow enthusiast on this board?

I've been very happy with Mercedes Benz of Long Beach.

Simonson in Santa Monica was terrible, and I ended up going to Long Beach.

fj for inventory and selection. however, i think smaller dealerships will be better. they don't force "we sell the most" or make you feel like they're doing you a favor. if you are not in a hurry to buy you'll have the upper hand.

Service Dept.

Have had very good experience with the service dept. Never got excited about buying a car there—always overpriced and a bit highbrow.

Waiting for E-Class with Nav
Talking LA's Finest

I have had experiences with most every dealership in the Los Angeles area:

Fletcher Jones: Great service, but the most expensive for both repairs and new car purchases. They are not bashful about it either: "we provide more so you pay more." It's just a question if you value what they provide.

Beverly Hills: Varies with the weather. Have had both good and bad experiences.

Downtown MB: Wheelin and dealin. Catch them at the right time of the month and they will give it away. Decent customer service.

MB of Long Beach: Horrible repair center, I think they broke my car as much as they fixed it. But, they are hungry for biz on the sales side and willing to deal.

MB of Calabasas: Decent repair service, and probably the most willing to discount on price.
