I have been a Mercedes Benz customer now for 10 years, myself and my husband purchased our MB in 2017. We had our car serviced at the MB garage in Wolverhampton every year since we bought the vehicle. The staff and team were always very courteous and we didnt have any issues.My issues personally started when my husband suddenly passed away in 2021. Since I stopped coming into the garage with my husband, I have had many issues with customer service and unfortunately this is not the first time I have had to complain about this garage.Since 2021 I have been bringing 2 vehicles to the garage my MB C class and my Aston Martin Vantage. One for the full service and MOT the other just for an MOT. Previously I had to complain as I came to pick one of my cars up from the garage and the person assigned to my service kept calling all customers he seemed to know/be friendly with (all men) to the desk to collect their vehicle before me. Despite me being there first.I persevered with the services from the garage as my husband told me you should always get your service done from the main garage. This is my local MB garage. My brother and father are also long standing customers of MB and this garage in particular as our local garage.However the experience I had in Dec 2025/Jan 2026 has deeply upset and humiliated me. I will NEVER buy another Mercedes or get it serviced from them ever again!My car broke down in 2022 in Newcastle, I walked to the MB garage in Newcastle and was told as I was a service customer they would either get my car running or provide another car to get me home (amazing service experience from start to finish). They could see I was in distress and offered me a drink and somewhere warm to wait. I have NEVER been offered a refreshment in the Wolverhampton branch despite taking 2 cars a year there. Drop off and pick up plus additional work.When the Newcastle engineers got my car started they said it was an issue with the ad blue sensor so not to switch the car off again, and take it straight to MB Wolverhampton for them to diagnose and fix the issue. I did this after a 5 hour drive back to Wolverhampton I got to the branch at 5.40pm I appreciate this is towards the end of the working day, but I was met with "you shouldn't have bought it here we have no space for it" despite being advised by Mercedes Newcastle to take it straight there. The service engineer actually tutted at me, as he was clearly on his way out home. I have experience better service at a Pizza Hut at the end of a night! Despicable.Despite this terrible experience I have continued to get my car serviced as per my deceased husbands advice. I took both cars as usual for MOT and service in Dec 2025. MB called and advised me the car wouldnt pass MOT as the ad blue sensor light was on, they said I needed to pay £229 for a fix which i agreed to. I picked up the car and took it home. The next morning, the adblue light came back on, along with a massive oil leak on my newly laid driveway. This happened the day after I took the car for a service less than 12 hours after collecting it from Mercedes. So I called them to book it in for them to look at. I took it in on a Friday afternoon was called after 2 hours despite the fact they said they would look at it on Monday and told the car needed a new adblue sensor at £450 and to fix the leak would be an additional £2,700 totalling over £3k work. I said this was ridiculous given the car had been in the garage for a service and I paid £229 for a diagnosis that supposedly fixed the issue.I went to the garage with the intention of discussing whether the car was beyond economic repair. I wanted an expert opinion, given this isnt my area of expertise. My Car is a 65 plate and has done 150,000 miles. I do alot of mileage for work so need a reliable car.The service advisor said my car was probably worth around 3k, so I said thats fine perhaps its time for a new car... it enrages and saddens me to say he laughed in my face. I said I just want an honest opinion, I need a safe car and he said he couldnt advise me either way. These advisors know I have an Aston Martin therefore it is a safe assumption I have funds for a new car. Cards on the table I have funds to buy a brand new whatever I choose on the forecourt at MB Wolverhampton. I have a sentimental attachment to this car but if I need a new one I can buy one.I was sat in your garage saying "please sell me a new car" effectively. To that I got humiliated and laughed at! Disgusting... if this is not adequately addressed, I will take this instance and event to social media as its just NOT ACCEPTABLE, and frankly the most terrible example of salesmanship I have ever come across.I told this service advisor as well as telling the service desk who initially answered the phone that the following week, I needed to go to Leeds overnight for work and then the following day to Luton Airport. I has 360miles remaining to drive my car before the faulty adblue sensor cut the car out, so I explained to him the car would not take me to Leeds and Luton. He said could take the fix or leave it. I left it.I then proceeded to source an alternative vehicle to drive to Luton Airport, but did drive the car to Leeds, whilst I was in Leeds a service engineer called me and said if I bought the car into the garage he would take a look at it and tell me if the car was "beyond economic repair" in his opinion. He said sorry for my terrible service experience which I appreciated and said he would give me a courtesy car to go to Luton airport. This solved my issue at the time as I was having to take insurance out on a friends car to drive to Luton and also inconvenience them by taking their car for 4 days.I took my car to MB Wolves the following as per agreed on the phone. There I was told my the service advisor, he would ONLY GIVE ME THE COURTESY CAR, IF I AUTHORISED £450 OF WORK on my car. Let me be very clear this is DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR. He never mentioned i HAD TO do the work with MB on the call the day before, he knew I was in a time critical situation that day i.e. I had to get to the airport. I felt humiliated, manipulated and totally at a loss as to why I was in this garage i vowed never to go to again. As I had NO choice I had to authorise the work. MERCEDES THIS IS DISGUSTING. You could have had 50-60-70k cash is just a few days before an advisor had passed me to a sales assistant I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A NEW CAR.It took over an hour to sort a courtesy car, in that time I was offered a drink the other service advisors including the one who laughed in my face were all sitting around at their desks. Eventually I was offered an electric vehicle. I dont have an electric vehicle/charge point but was assured it would get me to Luton and back on the charge it had. It didnt, I was 10 miles from Luton with 5% battery I called the service advisor who gave me the car and he asked "have you had the heating on full blast" - it was -1c and snowing that day but no I didnt have it on full blast, he also accused me of driving elsewhere other than straight to Luton...I had no time to go anywhere else! He said when I got back from my flight I would need to charge it straight away. I agreed.When I got back I drove very slowly, switching on all the eco modes, as the lady I was with was familiar with the car her father has the same model she was able to advise me. We just about made it to the charging point. I called MB before driving the car on 0% charge and he said he didnt know if it would get to the charging point but we would have to try.We did get there and went to charge the car, however when we went to get the charging cable MB has left the pouch empty! there was no charging cable! This really was utterly ridiculous and irresponsible. We then had to travel 4miles on 0% charge to a charge point with a cable.When I eventually took the car back, I was told MB sometimes take the leads out as people steal them as they are worth £600 if you do that the car is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE MERCEDES. The service engineer then proceeded to tell me he was doing me a favour giving me a car at such short notice, even though he tricked me into paying for work from their garage as opposed to any other of MY CHOICE by saying he would give me a car and tell me if the car was worth selling or keeping (which he didnt bother to do in the end) He charged me £350 for the adblue sensor no compensation for the DISTRESS, or lost time charging the car when I was on a time critical schdule.All in all I am 41 years old have been a customer for 10 years and would have remained so as my dad has in his 60's perhaps but I am so appalled by my experience I had to write in. I hope you give it more time of day than Mercedes. As it seems if you do not fit a certain demographic of what they deem to be their typical customer you become invisible even with two cars a year, and the ability to buy whatever I want.I am here to tell you women are half the population and they drive cars too! We shouldnt need to walk into the garage with a man to be taken seriously. MERCEDES WAKE UP!

I would like to provide feedback on my disappointing experience whilst attempting to purchase a vehicle from this dealership

I have complained months ago- had no reply what so ever.All I have had is issues with this car- since my last complaint the coolant light had come on I had a service 6 months ago this should not be on.

We purchased a Smart from you last June, having bought three other Smarts and a used Mercedes from Aaron in the past but he has now left. We were always very happy with the service.We dealt with Anthony last June who was very pleasant to deal with but when my wife collected the car, it hadn’t been serviced or MOT’d so she had to wait while this was done. After some weeks we had a letter to say that my wife’s part exchanged Kia was not taxed so we risked a fine. We notified Lookers as the V5 had presumably not been amended. We have now realise that we don’t have a new V5 for the Smart after 6 months and DVLA shows the last change of ownership as January 2025 so we have never actually been the registered keeper which is worrying. We again contacted Anthony at Lookers and this is apparently in hand now.When we purchased the car, there wasn’t much charge on it so we couldn’t check the range, but when we charged it at home, it was showing a much lower range than the handbook stated. We spoke to Anthony and we were told we had to do a system reset. This increased the starting range but it drops rapidly as soon as you drive the car. For example, we tested it yesterday and it started with a 92 mile range but after travelling less than 9 miles the range had dropped by 35. We never had this issue on our previous Smart EQ and never needed to keep doing these resets.It has been back to you twice now and there is very poor communication from the service team. We just get told to reset it each time we charge it and the car is handed back with no work being carried out, despite us paying for an extended warranty. We spoke to someone at the dealership recently to complain and were told that a manager would call us but nobody called.My wife is finding it very stressful to drive the car as the range varies dramatically and can drop very quickly so we don’t feel that the car is fit for purpose as we are limited to very short trips. We don’t expect it to be a long distance car but we do think it should drive in accordance with manufacturers guidelines. We took out an extended warranty to cover any major issues and we feel that the batteries are not delivering the range they should be on a 4 year old low mileage car.My wife spoke to Anthony this week to see if he could source something more suitable but he could only offer a Mercedes and she wants something small. I emailed three days ago and asked if we could perhaps purchase a Renault Zoe advertised at another Lookers dealership but haven’t heard anything back.We have now lost confidence in the car and in Lookers Wolverhampton so would prefer not to deal with them. We would like to return the car as not fit for its intended purpose. We don’t expect to be refunded the full purchase price but we do believe that we should be offered a reasonable sum and not just part exchange value and lose over £2,000 (I have just done an online valuation with Carwow at £6348) Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Recently purchased CLA Coupe AMG Line PHEV and collected the vehicle on the 19/12/25 from Lookers Mercedes Wolverhampton, the whole experience was less than we expected. Between us we have bought 12 Mercedes cars over the past 25 years and have always felt appreciated and our trust in the team at Walsall and Wolverhampton was fully rewarded and respected.During the sales process we were asked to process and sign detailed documents, some very long and with complicated legal language, using the screen on our mobile phones. This was completed utilising the customer wifi, which to say the least was very patchy, we were wandering round the showroom trying to get a signal. Because of our previous experience we were not unduly concerned, as we felt that we could trust the team not to take unfair advantage.However, one particular aspect of the Sales process has left us feeling disappointed and badly let down. The information given on the charging of the PHEV element was very poor and misleading. We were strongly encouraged to sign up to the MB.Charge Public network to take of advantage of public charge sites across the UK. We were informed that as a promotion we would enjoy 12 months free charging on the network and to sign up would be a “No Brainer”. We naturally signed up and were told the membership card would arrive by post in a few days, we then had to activate the card online, from that point we could use the network for unlimited free charging for the next year.The card arrived on the 30/12/25 and was activated the same day, there was no requirement to use it immediately as the car was fully charged. On 01/01/26 we received, by email, an invoice for the period 19/12/25 to 31/12/25 that would be taken from our credit card. On 03/01/25 we went back to the showroom for an explanation of why a free service was going to cost £58.80 p.a. and would there be any other charges. The salesman who sold us the card correctly stated he had not been present when the free service was discussed, this had been dealt with by one of his superiors in the branch. He offered to find the Manager to come and discuss the problem. After waiting for more than an hour and no one coming to see us, we left the branch. I find it very disappointing there was no one in the branch who could come and explain what the promotion involved. On 05/01/26 I sent a whatsapp message to the salesman explaining why we had left the showroom on Saturday, fully explained our concerns and indicating I would come into the showroom around midday on the 6th. I did go into the showroom around midday on the 6th, the Manager was not present and the salesman suggested I could navigate the MB app to find the contact for the MB Charge service. I reiterated what had previously been said and he said he would get the Manager to phone me the following day. No phone call was received so I sent the salesman another Whatsapp, at 2.30p.m., to inform him that no contact had been made. The salesman called back around 5.30 p.m. very apologetic saying the manager had been busy all day and I should contact the charging service to find out the details of the contract they had persuaded us to sign as again no one was in the branch could explain, even though they knew I was coming in to discuss the issue.That evening I contacted MB Charge Public and was told there was no promotion attached to my contract and I would be charged a base fee of £4.90 per calendar month for the service plus a minimum of £0.52p per K/wh for charging. This represents more than twice the rate for home charging on the standard tariff of £0.21p per K/wh. I sent an email requesting immediate cancellation of the contract and a refund of the invoice for a period when I was unable to use the service due to not receiving the card to activate. I received a response the following day, 08/01/26, acknowledging cancellation of the contract, effective 11/01/26, but indicating that the invoice would not be refunded and furthermore I would also be liable for pro rata charge up to 11/01/26.We have been very loyal customers of Mercedes Benz and the dealerships at Walsall, prior to closure, and subsequently at Wolverhampton. We feel very badly let down over the misleading information we were given and the utter failure of anyone taking responsibility for the mistakes that have been made. The bond of trust that we held has been damaged, potentially irreparably, we will certainly think carefully about any future relationship.RegardsNeil and Jennifer Dawes

My wife's car, BL25VHU, which was bought from Lookers Mercedes Wolverhampton had, from the start, a problem with the reversing camera activating when driving forward, I will amplify this further below. Following 3 days of attempting to repair the car I was told there was nothing which could be done. I initially raised the matter with Mark Tordoff who responded straight away advised my issue should be raised with the Service Manager Peter Singh. I directed my email to Peter Singh on 10th December. With no acknowledgment or response I emailed Peter again on the 17th December. For the second time I have received no acknowledgment or response which is frankly unacceptable. I want a prompt reply to the issues I have raised.The content of my email to Peter Singh on 17th December is as follows;PeterI forwarded you an email on 10 December which I had originally sent to Mark Tordoff, I would appreciate acknowledgment and/or response please.The email originally sent to Mark was as follows;MarkYou may remember I purchased this car from you and took delivery at the end of July. From the start there was an issue with the reversing camera motor which could be heard frequently when driving, typically but not exclusively when going up from 3 to 4th and also when going down from 4th to 3rd.I did not raise this immediately as I was suffering with some health issues and was waiting on a hospital procedure. I also thought it would be a simple warranty repair, how wrong could I be!It was booked in on 3rd November 2025. When booking in with service department, Denis Minshall, the reaction was far from positive of being able fix, more hope than anything and I got the impression that I wasn't the first customer to encounter this problem. I was contacted mid afternoon to say ready for collection, which I did however the fault had not be rectified.5th November 2025, contacted Mercedes service department and spoke to Dennis and emphasised my frustration at it not being fixed and stated I want it booked in again with Mercedes providing a courtesy car and for them to keep my car until fixed once and for all. Car was booked in for 1st December 2025.Car left with Dennis who showed me Mercedes tech update ( no copy provided) which advises camera activation in forward gears is to be expected as the camera calibrates. The view from Denis was it should calibrate, why in forward gears I do not know, but not as frequently as I was experiencing. The car was kept for two days and when picked up was advised test run of 5 miles had a calibration at the start but nothing thereafter. Dennis also advised there is nothing else they can do to rectify it. I drove home, 1 calibration at the start and nothing for the rest of the journey. However, the next day the camera activation returned to the previous frequency.Spoke to Denis on 8th December to advise no change, he said he would speak to a member of the team. He did and rang me back today to advise there is nothing else they can do and it's not recognised as a fault which I cannot accept, you will remember my wife had an A Class for 4 years prior to this one and didn't experience this fault once. Denis also confirmed that I am not the first to complain about this issue and therefore it must have been a known issue when I bought the car.If I had been briefed on this known issue I would have thought twice about making the purchase.I am not satisfied with this situation and want to escalate this issue.John Larkin07803445471

Extremely disappointing. I was hounded for a week via phone to go in for a test drive. I finally arrange an appointment and go in and there are no notes on their system to say that I was going to test drive a car, and that car wasn’t available for me to test drive.

Salesman was polite and attentive,Salesmanager I found rude and arrogant.As a loyal mercedes customer it has soured my previous experience
