Review of Mercedes Benz of Miami

I finally found a Mercedes Benz dealership in Miam...

I finally found a Mercedes Benz dealership in Miami that earns the Mercedes Benz brand but only after several terrible experiences at a closer in "miami" dealership. But worse than the cost of unnecessary services, they managed to break something every time I was in the shop. When I questioned the service adviser about the newly broken items, he said "that happens to everyone". When I escalated to the Service Manager, he said that they offered a higher service level to people who bought their car at the dealership but he would put me on the VIP list. Imagine that!

I vowed to never go back and started looking farther away from my home when I stumbled on Mercedes Benz of Miami in Miami Gardens. I was immediately impressed by the customer service mindset. I was greeted and helped out of my car and directed to a receptionist who determined who my service adviser was. Then I was asked to wait while my service advisor, Gus Cosio, was notified. Before I could complete preparing a cup of coffee, Gus was ready. We met in his office while he reviewed all the maintenance records pulled from the Atlanta dealership where we used to live. Gus explained to me and my daughter about the services that needed to be performed and also recommended waiting on some service items which could be done at the next service appointment. We were offered a Mercedes loaner car for two days while the car was serviced. The vehicle was serviced and delivered back to us in a clean, working condition. I finally remembered why I bought a Mercedes.

Again, I will say that this dealership, owned by Autonation, lives up to the standard I have come to expect from a Mercedes dealership. There is such a contrast between this dealership and the "other miami dealership" that it can not even be compared. Don't get fooled by the Mercedes sign; in Miami, if the dealership isn't owned by Autonation you're certainly going to get shafted.

I WILL BE BRINGING ALL MY MERCEDES VEHICLES TO MERCEDES BENZ OF MIAMI FOR MY SERVICE NEEDS. It is a bit of a drive but well worth it!
