Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis review
I recently purchased a C300.
I recently purchased a C300. When I walked through the door, I received quality service from Arella Berger. Arella was patient with me and did a great job finding a car that matched my personality and needs. Also, I fell in love with their Sales Manager, Allan, who sealed the deal! If you are looking for a dealership with top-notch service and customer-oriented staff, stop by Mercedes Benz in Annapolis. You will not regret it!

Excellent service.
Excellent service. Friendly, efficient and effective. Service representative Sean Bonner was very knowledgeable and quite helpful. Scheduling and obtaining a loaner was easy. Work was done well and on time, even though it was necessary to order parts.

Elaina our salesperson was wonderful.
Elaina our salesperson was wonderful. Responded quickly to all of our phone calls with questions. Organized and completed all the documents so when we drove from MA to MD most of the paperwork was done . The car was exactly as described and ready for us to take home after we signed the documents. Dorit in the finance department was also pleasant to work with. Overall, a great experience with pleasant helpful people guiding us along the way. We love the car and recommend Mercedes Benz of Silver Spring MD. Happy customers!
