i had an appointment booked by Mercedes Benz with the Brentford Mercedes Benz Dealer to order a new E53 AMG Coupe. When i arrived at the dealership, the person i was due to meet was not there and so the person who was then told to meet me knew nothing about why i was there! This turned into a complete fiasco as no one at the garage knew anything about the previous test drive I had had and that i wanted to order the new model due out early 2020.
It turned out to be a complete waste of my morning. The sales staff i dealt with were unsympathetic and not particualry respectful.
i did ask to speak with the Senior sales manager - who i was told could see me. But after a 15 minuet wait i left as he never appeared.
However to his credit he did call me 20 minuets later and was appologetic and helpful. Infact he was able to tell me that I could put my name on a waiting list to order the car next year. The other sales people failed to mention this or offer me this option.
Not sure how a sales team like this can compete, when you can now easily buy a car on line with much less hassel! read more
