The salesman Lee was very polite and helpful.

Polite and helpful staff

Dear Lookers Customer Relations Team,Note:I would appreciate this matter being treated as urgent. Given the delays so far and the impact on my daily life, I kindly request that my complaint is acknowledged immediately and prioritised for resolution.I am raising a formal complaint regarding the handling of my vehicle rejection with Lookers Mercedes-Benz of Stourbridge.The vehicle has already been formally rejected, and on 9 December 2025, Lookers collected the second key and V5 from my address. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to obtain confirmation of my refund and the cancellation of the Bumper finance plan, but I have not received any clear or timely response.I now have written confirmation from Bumper Finance stating that:•Lookers must authorise the cancellation of the PayLater agreement, and•Bumper will refund the payments I have already made only once Lookers instructs them to do so.I have forwarded this information to the dealership, yet I still have not received written confirmation from Lookers that the Bumper plan will be cancelled or when my refund will be issued.To be clear:•I cannot provide my bank details until Lookers confirms in writing the full and final refund amount I will be receiving, including how the payments I have already made to Bumper will be handled.•My refund has now been delayed despite Lookers collecting the key and V5 on 9 December.This situation has caused significant stress and inconvenience, particularly as I currently have no vehicle and elderly parents who rely on me for transport.As this matter is urgent, I am requesting the following in writing:1.Confirmation of the full refund amount, including how the Bumper payments I have made will be refunded.2.Confirmation that Lookers has authorised Bumper to cancel the finance agreement, as Bumper has confirmed is required.3.A clear timeline for when my refund will be processed.If this is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate this further outside of Lookers.I look forward to your urgent response.Kind regards,MaveshOn 10 Dec 2025, at 10:53, Mavesh Aminwrote:Hi Gemma,As mentioned, I have contacted Bumper directly. They have confirmed that only Lookers Mercedes-Benz Stourbridge can authorise and process the cancellation of the PayLater agreement. Once Lookers instructs them to cancel it, Bumper will refund all payments I have made to date.To be clear, the PayLater agreement exists only because the warranty was added by Lookers at the point of sale. Since the vehicle has now been rejected and collected, and I am no longer in possession of it, I should not be paying for a warranty on a vehicle I do not have.I will provide my bank account details for the vehicle refund as soon as I receive written confirmation that Lookers has authorised the cancellation with Bumper.For reference, I have forwarded the email from Bumper below confirming that Lookers must initiate the cancellation. I would appreciate confirmation in writing as soon as possible so the refund can be processed promptly.Kind regards,MaveshFrom: support@bumper.coDate: 10 December 2025 at 10:27:52 GMTTo: Mavesh.a@outlook.comSubject: Mavesh Amin (1823607) #458004881Good morning,Thank you for your call today.To request a cancellation of your PayLater plan, please contact Lookers Mercedes-Benz of Stourbridge directly on 01384 380702.Bumper is responsible for splitting your bill into instalments and collecting the monthly payments. However, only Lookers Mercedes-Benz of Stourbridge has the authority to approve and process your cancellation.Rest assured that Bumper will issue a refund for any payments made to date only if Lookers Mercedes-Benz of Stourbridge have cancelled your PayLater and specifically instructed us to do so.Kind regards,Support Team | BumperTel UK: (0) 800 612 0946Tel ROI: (0) 15 719 328Bumper International Limited, 32 Eyre Street, Sheffield, S1 4QZ, UK Registration No. 08576711On 9 Dec 2025, at 15:34, Mavesh Aminwrote:Hi Gemma,For the record, the second key and V5 were handed over today solely to allow Lookers to complete the vehicle rejection process. This does not authorise any refund or payment of the Bumper loan until I receive written confirmation from Lookers.I therefore need written confirmation of:1.The full vehicle refund2.Cancellation of the Bumper agreement and refund of any payments I have already made (£149.80)To clarify, I have already contacted Bumper directly. They confirmed that they cannot cancel the agreement themselves and that Lookers must instruct them to cancel or unwind the linked credit arrangement, as the agreement was created at the point of sale.Although Bumper is structured as a personal loan, it is a linked credit agreement connected to the purchase of the vehicle. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and FCA rules, when a vehicle is rejected within 30 days, the dealership must:•Refund the purchase, and•Unwind or cancel any linked credit arranged through them, so the customer is not left paying for a product they no longer have.Because of this, I cannot accept being told I must continue paying the Bumper loan myself. Lookers is responsible for contacting Bumper to cancel the agreement and refund any payments I have already made.Please confirm in writing once this has been arranged. Once confirmed, I will provide my bank details so the refund can be processed.Kind regards,MaveshOn 9 Dec 2025, at 11:38, Mavesh Aminwrote:Hi Gemma,I understand the driver has collected the second key and V5 today.

Overall just quite below par fir Mercedes brand

Sold me a dream

Dear Mercedes-Benz Customer Service,I am writing to express my concern and disappointment regarding the recent issue with the knee airbag on my Mercedes GLB. The airbag is an essential safety feature, and I was surprised to learn that the cost of repairing or replacing it is not covered by yourselves as a goodwill gesture.I would like clarification on the following points:Do you consider it acceptable for such a critical safety component to fail on a premium vehicle like the GLB in such a relatively short period of time?What is the reasoning behind making customers pay for repairs to a system that is designed to protect their lives?As a customer who chose Mercedes-Benz for its reputation for quality and safety, I find this situation unacceptable. I believe safety-related items should be prioritised and supported by the manufacturer. Both my father and brother have been Mercedes Benz drivers and they have always told me how great the mechanical engineering and customer support is, which led me to buy my first Mercedes Benz. The current situation has not filled me with confidence regarding either of these.Please provide a detailed explanation of your policy and confirm whether you will reconsider covering the cost of this repair.I look forward to your prompt response.

Great experience

Firstly, Our salesman Lee is a genuinely pleasant person to speak with.However, we must be honest in saying that the overall service left significant gaps.We were not provided with relevant or comprehensive information about the vehicle. We only later realised that the car is electric, and much of the interaction felt focused on making a sale rather than ensuring we understood the product we were purchasing.In some respects, this could be viewed as mis-selling, as we left the dealership without a clear understanding of the key features of the vehicle—and even found the previous owner’s Bluetooth details still logged in.With past Mercedes purchases, the salesperson would take time to walk us through the vehicle’s features to ensure we were receiving value for money.Unfortunately, this did not happen on this occasion, and the information we did receive was confusing and incomplete.We were also not presented with different finance options to choose from. Instead, it felt as though a decision was made on our behalf simply because I had previously enquired about an old offer. We weren’t given the opportunity to understand what options were actually available.Regarding the contract, we raised concerns at the time, but we were tired and wanted to wrap up. The feedback we received afterwards felt dismissive—as though the message was simply, “It’s done; we don’t deal with this anymore, contact the finance company.” There were clear discrepancies between what we were told by yourself, what the contract is saying and what the finance representative explained. It felt rushed, and not focused on providing the correct service.We only learned some details after signing, including:* the actual price of the car* the fuel/energy type* that the vehicle is electric/hybrid online when we got home* that the contract chosen may not be the suitable for us which we highlighted* and we were not even offered a test driveOverall, it came across as a “take it or leave it” approach.Additionally, I became frustrated when my own details—which I provided solely to retrieve a past offer—were instead used for my husband’s paperwork. This demonstrated a lack of attention to detail.To be completely honest, with the overall experience; Yes we didn’t plan to buy a car but we needed one hence we came to you in the first place but, It felt like we had to extract information rather than being guided properly through the process, and too many key details were only pointed out after the fact or left for us to discover ourselves and or we will never know…And since we are not comfortable we now need to figure out who our DDR is with and pay the bill off. Which is our only way out.

Do you guys sell left-hand side drive?Sent from my iPhone

I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the service I received today during my booking for wheel tracking alignment. My appointment was scheduled for the 11:00am–1:00pm slot, and I made it clear that I urgently needed the vehicle completed on time as I had to return to Redditch to pick up my disabled son from his care setting. Despite this, at 13:20 my car was still on the ramp, and it was not finally released to me until 13:50, nearly an hour past the agreed time.This delay caused significant stress and left me unable to collect my son on time. This is completely unacceptable given the circumstances that I explained when booking. I relied on your stated time slot being honoured, and the lack of communication and disregard for the urgency of my situation caused a serious inconvenience for my family.I expect an explanation as to why my appointment overran so substantially, why I was not informed or updated during the delay, and what steps you will take to ensure this does not happen again. I also expect appropriate compensation for the disruption and distress caused.I look forward to your prompt response.
