Subject: RE: RE: Claims & Repairs
In defense of Mercedes, unless the dealership is different from every one I've ever seen the tow truck driver that ripped you off is an independent contractor, not a dealer employee.
That doesn't make it right, but it's important to me that people understand that dealer does not automatically equal crook.
As far as crappy service at your dealer goes, if the vehicle was under factory warranty, that warranty will be honored at any dealership in the contiguous 48 states.
That means that you had the option of going to any dealer you wanted to in the NOLA area.
If the vehicle was under some sort of aftermarket warranty, you may very well be limited to the selling location.
Either way, good luck, and sorry to hear about your car.
