Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that Callum provided great service during your purchase. However, we're sorry to learn that you felt the process was rushed at times and, more importantly, that you were unaware the vehicle was a hybrid when you collected it. We understand how important it is that all vehicle specifications and features are clearly explained before purchase, and we're disappointed that this appears not to have been the case. Your comments will be shared with the team so we can learn from your experience and improve our communication going forward. If you have any questions about your hybrid vehicle or would like any assistance, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're always happy to help.

1 star — Serious concerns about customer service and the handling of a vehicle fault at Sandown Mercedes-Benz of Poole
While driving from London to Poole with my three-year-old son, the engine warning light came on and remained illuminated throughout the journey.
After stopping at services on the M3, I struggled to get the car into either drive or reverse. After repeated attempts, it eventually engaged with a significant jolt. On arriving in Poole, the same problem happened again, this time more severely.
I contacted Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance. Kevin, the engineer who attended, was excellent: professional, thorough, kind and extremely helpful. His diagnostic equipment identified ten fault codes relating to the electronic transmission, which he explained had been recorded during that day’s journey.
Kevin advised me not to drive the vehicle any distance because it could fail to engage a gear altogether. He deliberately left the fault codes uncleared so the dealership could investigate them. He arranged for the car to go to Sandown Mercedes-Benz of Poole and for me to receive a hire car. He was only comfortable with my partner driving the short distance to the dealership if he followed behind in case the transmission failed.
Unfortunately, my subsequent experience with Craig, the dealership’s customer service adviser, was extremely concerning.
After the car had been with the dealership for four days, Craig told me there was nothing wrong with it. When I questioned this and explained Kevin’s findings, Craig said it had “not recorded any faults for 30 days”.
I found his manner increasingly rude and dismissive towards both me and my partner. At one point, he asked, “Well, what do you want me to do about it then?”
Craig told me the hire car arrangement would end immediately and that I would have to pay for it if I did not collect my vehicle. He assured me the car was fine to drive, despite the transmission problems I had experienced and the explicit advice from Mercedes-Benz’s own roadside engineer.
This left me facing conflicting advice about whether I could safely drive back to London with my three-year-old child.
I went to the dealership that day, without my son, intending to return the hire car and collect my vehicle to avoid further charges. Thankfully, Craig was unavailable, and I spoke to Joanna, known as Jo, on reception.
Jo listened, took my concerns seriously and spoke to the manager. She arranged for Grace, another customer service representative, to take over.
Grace was professional, understanding and reassuring. She extended the hire car arrangement at no cost to me and kept my vehicle for further investigation.
The following day, Grace confirmed that the fault codes Kevin had identified were still on the system. The dealership then identified the failing transmission component and ordered the replacement part.
I understand that intermittent faults can be difficult to diagnose. What I cannot understand is why I was told there were no recorded faults and pressed to collect the vehicle when those faults were subsequently found and a repair was required.
Had I accepted Craig’s assurances, I could have driven back towards London with my young child in a vehicle that Mercedes-Benz’s roadside engineer had specifically advised me not to drive any distance.
Kevin, Joanna and Grace deserve recognition. They listened, treated me with care and helped get the problem properly addressed.
My one-star rating reflects my experience with Craig and the handling of the fault and safety concerns before Grace intervened. I hope Sandown and Mercedes-Benz review both the advice I was given and why the roadside engineer’s findings were initially dismissed.
I expected a much higher standard of customer service from a Mercedes-Benz dealership, particularly when a reported transmission fault and a young child’s safety were involved.

We appreciate you recognising the efforts of Kevin from Roadside Assistance, along with Joanna and Grace at our dealership, and we're pleased they were able to provide the support and reassurance you deserved. We also take your comments regarding the handling of your case seriously, as this falls below the standard of customer care we strive to deliver.

Fantastic as always from sale to service
Fantastic service all the way from start to finish once again. My youngest wanted to buy himself his first Mercedes-Benz, used, and we were welcomed by Leeroy Whitby, who i aways see there as i have bought my own cars from him, he is the most honest sales executive you could meet and goes above and beyond to help out with any purchase, new or used cars, and is always there to help is you ever need it. I always use a main dealership, yes, might be a tiny bit more expensive, but the backing, warranty etc you get after sale is invaluable. Top team there at Sandown, Mercedes-Benz of Epsom. I have all my cars serviced there as well and yet again, it is slightly more expensive that your back street garage, but with that service you get a full years Mercedes-Benz assist which is a full breakdown service for free, anywhere, anytime and as many times as needed (hopefully not needed) so thats the extra price you pay for, a full years peace of mind if anything were to go wrong, mechanically or accidents etc. I am a private customer and all the views above are from my experiences. Staff are fantastic, but you need to see Leeroy if you want a car :)

Wonderful experience due to Steph
My sales assistant Steph made the process far easier and stress free than so had been expecting - she listened to me when I told her what I wanted and was important to me; she answered my questions as best she could at the time and followed through with checking and confirming the answer when she had checked the system; and she was communicative throughout the process by telephone and email about where we were and what was being done.
