That stinks. (Both times you posted it.)
I'd tell 'em it will be fixed properly when you pick it up next time, meantime you'd like to drive the owner's vehicle. (What? It's worth a try! Unless the owner drives an SLR ... then maybe no.)
That type of "service" on a GL is purely unacceptable. Did they even test drive it?
STP

I am thinking about taking it to another MB service department. What do you think? Should I stick with incompetent people and make them figure it out? Or jump ship and take it somewhere else?
Sorry about the double post. I have a MAC (enough said)

A) I jumped ship after three times to fix a front-end shimmy by one service department was followed by fixed right the first time by the second service department. If you have the option, it's like a second opinion at the doctor's; it's usually worth the peace of mind!
B) I had trouble posting today, too - the site was responding very slowly. Don't blame the Mac! I mean, Nevada Jack has one, so they must be good.

Yea, the site it sloooowwww for me too. I do love my MAC, but I don't think my MAC loves me. I get the rainbow pinwheel ALL the time.
Well, I think I will take it to the second dealer. We went out and about today and the DVD didn't do it. So I guess it is a watch and wait. As soon as it happens again I will make the appointment. I just hate to drive 2 hours to hear "we cant duplicate concern"

I know Anaheim offers more perks for going there and their loaners are newer. But it doesn't really matter if they don't know how to fix cars.

From what I have heard, MB of Laguna Niguel is pretty good too.

I talked with Laguna Niguel when we were getting ready to purchase. They are a GREAT dealership. They even offered to bring the GL and paper work to me. That is pretty great. But, they weren't as willing to knock $$$ off as Anaheim was. Bummer is they are over 100 miles away from me. It might worth a trip if I can't get this resolved.

Yep, IE girl here. I live up in the mountains I talked with Laguna Niguel when we were getting ready to purchase. They are a GREAT dealership. They even offered to bring the GL and paper work to me.

I've bought my cars from MBLN and they are simply awesome and they know I won't pay more than invoice lol. As for their service department, they are amazing and are pretty mod friendly too. They found problems with my E63 that I never even saw, so clearly they are heads on heels better than other Benz dealers. I have also had good experiences at House of Imports.
Invoice is GREAT. MB of Anaheim knocked $10,000 off sticker over the phone. LN wanted to talk in person. I completely understand their reasonings, but with 3 kids under 10, phone/email deals are what are best for me. LOL!

The airbook looks cool and it comes in pink That would be fun to meet up. I would love to see what others have done to their GL. I am not sinking any money into mine until all the bugs are worked out

The only one I have tried so far is Anaheim. I think next will be Walter's in Riverside (they are closest) then from there?? Possibly House of Imports.
