Mercedes-Benz of Calabasas

I recently went to Mercedes Benz of Calabasas. They had the exact vehicle I was looking for... I met A very special sales person / Experience Guide her... name is Mori Norollahi. She made my purchase and experience at Calabasas wonderful. I felt completely safe through this pandemic and she went above and beyond to make sure I was getting was I truly wanted.

I leased a CLA 250 in October 2020 and was told that the car came with "run-flat" tires. I was shown the trunk area, which didn't have a spare tire and... apparently didn't need one because of the "wonderful run-flat" tires. I loved the car and proceeded to negotiate pricing. At the time of financing, I was convinced to get the tire and wheel warranty based on the finance manager's rhetoric about being able to drive 50 miles on a run-flat tire and not having to pay out of pocket to repair or replace the tires or wheels. Fast forward to November 2020, I get a flat tire. The tire goes flat immediately, causing concern for these supposed "run-flat" tires. I had to have to car towed to the nearest Mercedes Benz Dealership (Downtown LA Motors), who informed me that the car did not have "run-flat" tires. I was shocked. Of course, I had the dealership double check the system and was told again that my car should have come with "run-flat" tires but instead have "summer" tires. Nonetheless, Downtown LA Mercedes Benz service department kept my car 9 days for a flat tire! There was a lot of back and forth with the service department and the tire and wheel warranty company. The entire process was excruciating and stressful. I eventually called Calabasas Mercedes to get clarification on the tires and appallingly got the run around. I was transferred from person to person and voicemail to voicemail. Everyone I spoke with claimed that the car is listed in the system as having "summer" tires, not "run-flat" tires and they don't know why I was misinformed. Angel, the service director claimed that the issue was an employee training issue and apologized for the confusion. It wasn't until I contacted corporate that I was able to get my call returned by Michael Franz the general manager. Michael also apologized that I was experiencing tire issues and reiterated what I was already told about having "summer" tires. He contacted the Downtown LA dealership and had the service charges waived (which I shouldn't have been charged in the first place because of the warranty), and nothing else was done. Michael told me that I should always try to bring my car in to the Calabasas dealership so that things could be handled to their standards in the future. As a long time Mercedes customer, I am deeply appalled by the actions and customer service of both the Calabasas dealership and the Downtown LA dealership. I was depending on both of the dealerships to take care of me as a customer and to give me accurate information. I would have never purchased the wheel and tire program if I would have known that the car didn’t come with run flat tires. Despite the dealership claiming that there is a training issue amongst the employees regarding the run flat tires, I would still think I had run flat tires currently if I hadn’t gotten the flat tire. I feel dismissed and deceived by all parties involved. As a female customer, this situation feels very predatory. To be lied to about pertinent information about the car and then held responsible for the error as if I made it, is outrageous. It absolutely makes me think twice about purchasing another Mercedes, as well as, wanting to keep the current car that I am leasing. Im second guessing everything I was told. What else didn’t come with the car that they stated should come with the car? Will it take another breakdown or flat to discover another snafu? Do I really need the tire and wheel program if I have regular tires? Can I cancel the wheel and tire program or am I stuck in a contract because the additional charge is tacked on to my lease payment? Should I get a spare tire for the car since I have regular tires? All of these questions run through my mind daily as I drive the car. And the most important thing that runs through my mind is that Mercedes didn’t protect me as they should have through this process. I felt unheard by everyone I spoke with regarding the matter.

Diagnosis and replacement of part was completed quickly. Thank you Kyle.
