Recommend SA @ MB of Beverly Hills, CA
As the title states, I am in need of a recommendation for a Service Advisor at MB of Beverly Hills, CA.
I need to have my Service C done and want to have a few things looked at under my extended warranty (my current SA at Fletcher Jones is a complete tool and won't fix anything under warranty).
TIA for the recommendations, please let me know ASAP as I need to call today to set up an appointment for later this week.

FJ Newport Beach has far and away the worst service dept. I have ever dealt with.
I can't tell you how many times I have been told they could not replicate an issue and they nevertheless charge me for the labor expended trying to do so. I realize the charges result from the fact that my CPO warranty isn't worth the paper its printed on (outside of mechanical failures, that is), but the techs are just dumb as nails (or at least MB would rather have be believe that than fix problems under warranty).
I would like to never go back to FJ Newport, so I am looking for a new SA (preferrably at MB of Beverly Hills) anywhere in Socal, that will take care of me and who knows about our cars.

I do not like MBZ of Beverly Hills. I have had "issues" with them as have a few of my friends...
I have however, received very good service from WI Simonson in Santa Monica. They have an amazing service facility and have gone the extra mile to make me happy with my Black Series.
The shop foreman is named Mike Hawker, and he knows EVERYTHING there is to know about AMG's. He is a great guy. Ask for him and tell him you were referred by Luke with the silver Black Series. He will take good care of you.

Having been a former customer of mb of b-hills I will never return. I recommend MB of Encino. I have a great relationship with them and they always do great work. Ask for Drew Herman for your service writer and he will take very good care of you and your car. He is very professional and easy to work with.

I've had good experiences with BH Benz. I know I will definitely not go to South Bay Mercedes.
If you're looking for an SA at BH Benz, ask for either Scott Evans or Terry.

I used to wrench at W.I. Simonson(Santa Monica). And if you're looking for good service on the west side this is the dealer I would recommend. I am not biased as I left for a reason, but I do think that with the right service advisor you will be taken care of.
Yes, Mike Hawker is a very inteligent shop foreman, although (heads-up) he is not mod-friendly.
If you would like a recommendation for a great service advisor PM me.

Although I was skeptical, I have had really great service from Tony Irvani at FJ Newport Beach. He has taken very good care of my cars & I have since referred 3 friends to him... all are very picky & all are very pleased with how he takes care of them. Feel free to PM me & I will give him a heads up...

Are you still a shop foreman at a local shop?
