If you google customer service, the top result should be Aaron Corp. I scheduled an appointment to have my sprinter checked out, it was struggling to hold RPMs uphill. When I arrived Aaron greeted me and pointed out the large amount of sprinters on the lot and that it could be tough to get my van back same day. Mind you, I'm currently living out of it on a road trip. I told him this and he went to work. I was able to spend the day in the lobby and work while Aaron worked his magic. They were ...

Just finished trading in my car for an AMG in their inventory, and wanted to recommend Billy Daniels for anyone considering doing the same. I walked in late on a Wednesday morning and drove out with my wife in our AMG GLC the next afternoon. Actually got a fair price for my trade-in. Billy was low-to-no pressure, just really informative, and incredibly helpful in making the deal happen. He's done this for a while, has a card that reads "Master Certified" and is certainly expert on everything Mercedes, but especially AMG. I'm not a regular Google ...

I think that the people that work at Hoehn are all great. I have been treated very well and that is not where the problem lies. I have had my E400 Cabriolet in for service 3 times for the same issue. Window seal noise between the front and back window. For whatever reason they can’t fix it. I even went as far as going to another dealership and test driving a used E400 of the same year as mine and a brand new one and neither have this issue. Each time I’ve picked up my car they say it’...

I was having hydraulic problems with my SL500's top, so after dinner on Thursday, my wife and I drove around the dealerships in Carlsbad. We got out and were walking around the Hoehn BM-B lot at closing time, a gentleman asked if he needed help while he was checking the vehicles to ensure they were locked, we said no. But then we saw something that caught our eye, we asked the gentleman a couple of questions...even though it was closing time, he went back into the dealership and printed out the information we asked about.

My husband and I started looking for a new car a few months back. I didn't need one, I loved my car but if I were to get one, I wanted a benz or jag. We stopped into our local San Diego Dealerships, got the arrogant, over confidence personality from the guys. I loved the cars but was not sold on the service or that they were generally trying to help vs making a sale. Last minute idea to stop in at Carlsbad Mercedes with hopes they would be more helpful.

I brought in my Sprinter RV for a new fuel pump. They got me checked in promptly. Reviewed expected cost and offered me a shuttle home, although I already had a ride to pick me up. They called me later that day to say things were finished. I asked them to leave the RV up near the office and I'd be right in to pick it up. When I arrived it was right there, shiny and freshly washed. Paid and drove away within minutes. Easy.

Excellent Service Department operates with integrity. My A/C died. It worked 1 hour earlier. Diagnosis: faulty compressor, low pressure - $1900 + tax Upon further inquiry it was determined that the compressor was was still functional at a diminished performance level. With winter months approaching, the need for A/C is minimal. I can live with "cool" air (vs. "cold") for the next 6 months. Final outcome: recharge A/C and return to service for $280. Gratitude to the service department for providing me with all the facts and including me in the repair/replace decision.
