Mercedes Benz Of Giffnock

I bought an approved used Mercedes c-​class from Giffnock Glasgow almost 2 years ago now, less than a week after I bought it seen little scratches in both front door cups behind the door handles contacted the dealership after a week I eventually got a response which was phone someone local from the paper and he will sort it for about £50, my reply I’ve just spent over £20k on this car I would like a Mercedes body shop to sort it, I had to ask Mercedes uk to step in, and recently I seen a rust spot under the paint on the passenger wing, so I contacted Mercedes thinking they would sort it as its been serviced by Mercedes and was an approved used Mercedes thinking the car would have been checked before I bought it, I took it to a Mercedes body shop they then said they couldn’t do the work under warranty as it has been repaired before and not by Mercedes, NOT been repaired while I owned the car, both Mercedes and the dealership both refused to do anything about and said I had an accident and had it repaired before, they said it been almost 2 years since you bought it and only now wanting this sorting, as I said the rust had only started to show and I had no reason to get the body work looked at earlier. Nothing I thought buying an approved used Mercedes rather than of a third party garage would give me piece of mind and a warranty. How wrong wasn I seriously thinking of going back to BMW

What I can I say other than the worst car buying experience iv ever had in my car buying lifetime. And both my wife and I have bought many cars. You would have thought buying at a merc dealership would be different from say Arnold Clark well that’s true. Its much worse and that’s some going. My first which I refused as it had ahem two tone paint. Front tear end damage anyone. Anyway they tried to bully me into taking a repair which I stood my ground and refused. The 2^nd car which had just passed its first mot a week before I collected. Had to go back in for major suspension repairs to the front. So how did it pass ??? I could go on and on and I promise you if you don’t believe they are that bad try it yourself. You haw been warmed total sharks.

So rubbish we regularly travel 50 rather than 2 miles to visit MB of Edinburgh… Nuffield said!
