Do I recommend this place? Can't say I do. Here's what I witnessed there yesterday while trying to…read moreget some customer service issues addressed. An elderly woman is there with her son. A saleswoman is getting pushy with the woman. Woman wants time to think, saleswoman pulls out all the aggressive techniques, pushing her to sign immediately. Another couple was also waiting around for a customer service issue. (If you have a customer service issue you spend a lot of time waiting. Because that's not where they make money. So they just let you sit around all day waiting.) The husband expresses some support, telling the salesperson to back off and let the woman think if she wants. Immediately, another man, apparently a Payless employee, jumps up and starts lambasting both men to stop harassing the saleswoman! (It was pretty clear that the only person harassing was the saleswoman! Until this guy jumped up anyway.) The son and husband both affirm their position, and this Payless employee gets into the husband's face, asking if he wants to take it outside and settle the matter there! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Neither could the saleswoman, fwiw. She was astonished too. Apparently this was outside the aggressive sales playbook. Anyway, the husband managed to diffuse the situation and the aggressive employee went outside himself. My customer service issue was not satisfactorily resolved. Neither was the other couples. So, all I can say is, be careful going here. You'll get pushed into something you regret and then neglected when it doesn't work.

Payless auto sales aka Trophy Auto Lounge : This dealership's pricing practices are extremely…read moremisleading and designed to lure customers into predatory financing. The vehicle I looked at was advertised online for $11,298, but once I arrived things changed quickly. The out-the-door price for a cash purchase jumped to over $18,500. The reason? The advertised price only applies if you agree to finance through the dealership under their terms. If you want to pay cash, they start piling on non-sense add-ons and fees such as transport charges, warranty packages, and even something called a "finance coupon recovery" fee. These are essentially penalties for not financing the vehicle through them. When I declined all the unnecessary extras and said I was only willing to pay the vehicle price plus legitimate costs like sales tax, title, registration, and their already outrageous $995 doc fee, the total came to about $13,480. Instead of working with this honest price structure (which they argue is their website disclaimer), they came back and said they would "meet me in the middle" at $15,000. That tells you everything you need to know. The advertised price is not a real selling price -- it's simply bait to get customers into the dealership so they can pressure them into high-profit financing agreements where they likely make money from lender kickbacks and inflated interest rates or when paying cash attempt to pad their pockets additional profit charges. Make sure you read the fine print on their website carefully before wasting your time. This dealership advertises artificially low prices that are simply a get you in the door advertisement and have no intention of selling any vehicle at the price unless they can rob you somewhere else during the purchase. Transparency and honesty matter when buying a car, and unfortunately, I did not find either here. Finance Coupon was the funniest additional charge I have come across in a while. This dealership appears to be engaging in the exact type of deceptive pricing practices the FTC recently warned 97 auto dealership groups about. The advertised vehicle prices seem to apply only if customers agree to use the dealership's financing, while cash buyers are suddenly hit with inflated pricing, unnecessary add-ons, transport fees, warranty charges, or other questionable costs. The FTC has made it clear that advertised vehicle prices must reflect the true "all-in" price available to all consumers, excluding only government taxes and title fees -- not conditional financing incentives designed to push buyers into high-interest loans. Advertising artificially low prices to lure customers in, only to change the terms based on financing, is misleading and undermines consumer trust. Unfortunately, they specifically want uneducated consumers to purchase from them. The sales staff was nice but are unfortunately the face of the ownerships deceitful practices. It took a lot of restraint on my part not to interfere with the customers next to me who were getting robbed and had no idea.

Cathy is incredibly honest, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond for her customers. As a woman, I've definitely felt taken advantage of by other mechanics in the past, so finding someone I can truly trust means a lot to me. I recently had a strange issue with my car where the check engine light kept staying on. Cathy's team did multiple checks, over multiple days, and eventually solved the problem for me, at an incredibly reasonable price. What I appreciate most is that I never feel like I'm being scammed or pushed into unnecessary repairs. I genuinely trust Cathy and her team with my car, and that is not something I take lightly. She is honest, reliable, and clearly cares about doing the right thing for her customers. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for a mechanic you can actually trust.

I strongly advise servicing your vehicle at a different dealership. The Ray Catena Edison location…read morefalls far short of the standard you expect from Mercedes-Benz. The communication here is nonexistent. It is nearly impossible to reach a live person, and calls usually end in a voicemail black hole. Worse, the incompetence in the service department turned a standard 1-2 day job into a 4-day ordeal. My advisor failed to process a simple rim warranty claim on time, then waited until 2:30 PM the following day to update me. He offered unprofessional excuses about "skipping lunch" and being on hold, only for me to find out he was calling the wrong warranty company entirely. I had to personally call my original dealer, get the correct contact info, and do his job for him to get the claim started. When I brought these failures to the Service Manager, he was combative and defensive rather than apologetic, making excuses for every point I raised. This location lacks accountability and basic organizational skills. Do not waste your time here.
