Yes I expressed my dissatisfaction with the manager Mr Richie and the warranty solution extended warranty company spoke with Mercedes and told them they were padding the prices for labor and well as parts.

Original review Oct 01, 2024
Mercedes was adamant about not changing their prices even though Warranty solutions disagreed with the over price service on the labor and parts are over priced. Gwendolyn Sly 504 473-****, On August 15,2024 I brought my Mercedes Benz GLS 2018 VIN# JB126643 for service because the light came on my dashboard so it was the fuel sensor in the gas tank.

I purchased the extended warranty from Warranty Solutions. Once my vehicle was diagnosed Mercedes would not honor my warranty in full I spoke with Warranty Solutions and they said Mercedes was making up their labor time, in other words padding the prices. Warranty Solutions said they all use a RP manual that clearly says how long and how much a job takes and cost example. the fuel kit shows $94 but Mercedes charged $109 for 2, fuel guage should be $152, Mercedes charged 176, fuel delivery module $398 Mercedes charged $461.68 and the labor charge $200.00 an hour.

Warranty Solutions claim # A24080****, 1-80*-***-**** , invoice # 76YAF8NTJA, was only willing to pay for 6.8 where as Mercedes would not honor the 10 hours that they claim it would take to do the job also claim it would take them two days to complete the job.

I am totally dissatisfied with Mercedes Benz handling of my warranty. They also claim they don't honor certain warranties.

Stay away from Service Dept.

On two occasions I've attempted to use the Service Department at MB of NOLA. I originally contacted MB of NOLA because the check engine light came on and I was having an issue with the sunroof. The vehicle was at the dealership for almost two weeks and I had to initiate virtually all communication. The vehicle was returned to me without the wind deflector portion of the sunroof. Just didn't bother putting it back on and I didn't initially realize it was missing since this was in December and I was undergoing surgery and follow-up treatment for cancer, so not using the car much less sunroof. Also, the Check Engine light came back on while driving home from the dealership.

The second visit was to give them an opportunity to correct initial lacking service and to perform regular B maintenance. The vehicle has always been dealer maintained and I hoped that the initial problem was a fluke and due to being really backed up, as the reps claimed. Second visit I was told that there are now numerous codes related to the Check Engine alert. Some of which supposedly the same as the previous visit. The problem with that claim is that I was told on the original visit that the Check Engine light was simply a software update and now clear. The bottom line is that I spent almost $3K in two visits and the Check engine light is still on and I'm missing a deflector for the sunroof.

The Service Rep has not bothered to respond to my text explaining all of the above.

The dealership may be great for purchase, but if you need maintenance/service, look elsewhere.

Are you actually, truly surprised ? I was at one time a Mercedes-Benz customer.

The quality control dropped like stone in the pond between 1987-****.

Dealership maintenance service suffered as well ; you can't polish *** The issue of cost became glaring as every service either cost double the local going rate for similar operations or yielded some nasty surprise many of which became recurring issues as you have indicated. My final car, a 198* ***SEL, had brakes (and a sunroof) that squealed like a garbage truck (never adequately addressed) and was equipped with inadequate tires.

Yes, I was very much surprised, as this experience was completely inconsistent with service calls at the original dealership. I have had virtually no issues with what has been an extremely dependable vehicle.
