Short of the mark!

Car serviced & mot’d at Truro. Advisory was added to mot even though the work was completed to rectify it during service, so leaving a blot on mot. Also charged for bottle of screen wash with service, even though the washer bottle was full before service & bottle of screen wash wasn’t supplied on return of car. Payed a lot of money out to Mercedes main leadership ,but don’t feel happy with conclusion.

An enjoyable experience and purchase.

No pushiness from any staff, very helpful and extremely informative.
The whole experience made choosing our car very easy whereas prior to visiting Mercedes we just couldn't agree on which type of car at all.
Thanks Frazer!

Amazing experience from start to finish

I bought a rather amazing A Class from Mercedes in Truro. I was helped all the way through by Frazer. In all my years of buying cars I have never been treated so well. All the staff were lovely, frazer especially was attentive, knowledgable and really friendly. The handover was an amazing experience, with ‘the big reveal’ even thought it was a used approved. The follow up call from Ben in servicing was appreciated and informative. Well done to the amazing team at Mercedes- Benz Truro!

Thank you for your fantastic review in regards to the recent Handover of your A Class at our Truro dealership. We're pleased to hear that you found the experience to be that of an exceptional standard from Frazer and Ben. I have passed your comments directly to them both, who will be especially pleased to hear that you were so fond of them and the vehicle. It is of upmost importance to us that the customer journey from the initial enquiry through to the Handover of a vehicle is not just acceptable but exceptional. The customers are at the heart of our dealerships so we are extremely glad that this was evident in your experience and that they were able to understand and find the perfect car which is best suited to yourself and your circumstances. We hope that you continue to notice this in our after sales as well. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to inform us of your experience. We thank you again and we look forward to seeing you in the future. We hope you thoroughly enjoy your new vehicle. Kind Regards, Keira.

Mercedes-Benz Truro provide first class customer service. I purchased a second hand Mercedes-Benz in Spring 2024 and the service from Dan Preston and the team in Truro was excellent. I recently had an issue with the car and contacted Dan and he introduced me to his colleague Mathew Blade. They addressed the issue directly and provided the perfect resolution, confirming their exceptional customer service. I should also add that I live in Scotland which is some distance from Truro but, honestly, Dan and Mat treated me as if I lived next door.

First class service from Truro team, as should be expected from Mercedes Benz.

Excellent service and communications from Chelsea and the sales team and the delivery guys, Steve and John, were very good. Took all the time needed to show us round the kit and ensure we were happy with the car. Car itself was immaculate and actually felt guilty handing over the keys for our car for them to drive back….not quite as roomy!

Exceptional service. Great price. Don’t think I would have got mot cheaper anywhere where else, plus a car wash thrown in for free and a banging hot chocolate, all for £25

New Mercedes EQA 250+ AMG line premium

I called up the Mercedes branch and was given an appointment the same day with Leon. He was friendly and helpful and I had my nice new Mercedes within 2 weeks. Any questions I had in-between the meeting and collecting the car Leon was always quick to respond and sort things out. All of the other staff in the Turo branch were friendly and helpful.

Our drive to Cornwall in 28 degrees for 6 hours with no a/c.

My wife and I left our home in East Sussex recently in order to attend a Wedding in Cornwall; it was a warm day, becoming increasingly warm, and on leaving our house the air-conditioning was not working - never happened on my GLC before. For 6 hours we travelled in 28 degrees of heat, unable to open the windows due to the effect this practice has on my hearing aids! A brief stop at M-B Truro with very warm welcome offered saw my GLC in their workshop at 10.15am next day and a full report was issued an hour later on my a/c problem; during this visit the Ad-Blue was also topped up. All of this excellent service for no charge! Thankgoodness for those M-B garages which continue to offer their excellent services as they have done over time....not all are quite so perfect today.

BUYER BEWARE

What would have been a five star review is now a one star review! I purchased a slightly used (ten month old) MB GLA 220d 4MATIC AMG Line Premium Plus Night Edition In August 2023, from MB Truro. Having had the car for three months I noticed the car had started having some steering irregularities at low speeds. I took the car to the MB Tamworth dealership as the problem had now become an embarrassment and a concern to my wife and myself. I booked the car in and was met by the technician who said "we would take it for a drive." On the way to the car, I was told that the problem sounded like "tire jumping"! "Tire jumping" what's that, I thought. After a short drive the steering irregularity had been replicated and the "tire jumping" had been confirmed. Great I thought the car would be booked in for repairs. OH NO, there is not a fix and I would have to live with it....
I was told that if I purchased a set of winter tires that it may help a little... but not take care of the problem. (Five stars to the Tamworth dealership that diagnosed the issue and for their honesty. They told me to contact the MB Truro, where I purchased the vehicle from to relay the findings.) I was told by them nothing could be done.
I owned a MB all wheel drive for six years before purchasing this one and it was never an issue!
If I had been told about this "tire jumping/crabbing" before I purchased the vehicle I would not have purchased this model. As a result I'm stuck with a vehicle that feels unsafe and embarrassing to drive.
MB have NO PLANS for a recall and will not take responsibility for the problem.
I wouldn't expect this result from a luxury car manufacturer / dealership!
ONE star for not being upfront about the vehicle's known defect and after sales service. Any body wanting to purchase a MB GLA beware.
My next step will be to go to trading standards.

Dan was great from start to finish

Dan was great from start to finish. I enquired on a car one evening and the next day Dan was in contact and had sent across a thorough video walk around of the vehicle. Everything was clear in my first appointment in the showroom and the car was ready for me to test drive if I wanted to. Communication was excellent leading up to handover and the car was in excellent condition ready for me to drive away. A seamless and stress free process!
