Had a problem with the car that is only 3-4 years old and Clarisse from MB dealt with this so quickly and kept me informed all the time which removed any concerns I had. She is an asset to MB and I would recommend them.

I purchased an Approved Used Mercedes in the final days of January 2024 from Marshalls of Bolton. I purchased the vehicle through a non-Mercedes PCP, on terms which I believe were very competitive, given the vehicles Approved Used status, mileage and overall condition. I was extremely impressed with the Marshalls efforts to deliver the vehicle and complete the sale. However, a few weeks into ownership, I learnt that the vehicle did not have a full service history (something which Marshall’s must have been aware of from the earliest point of purchase). As such, the vehicle did not conform to the Mercedes Approved Used standards, which guaranteed a through history and mileage check, nor does the vehicle conform to the warranty requirements of being serviced in accordance with Mercedes Benz vehicle services standards. Both of these have serious repercussions in relation to the future value of the vechiel and as such, the associated PCP agreement. I contacted Marshalls and raised my concerns that they had failed to advise me of the vehicles condition/history. Despite assurances from the Marshalls, that they would either provide the missing service records and/or further advice, nothing has ever been provided. As such, I was forced to escalate my concern to Mercedes Benz Customers Services UK in March ’24. They too have contacted Marshall’s, but have yet to receive a full response despite acknowledging they do not have the missing service record. Having owned other premium brand vehicles, I am extremely disappointed with the Customer Service standards of Mercedes Benz and Marshalls. I am still not in receipt of any formal reply to my concerns. I would advise anyone seeking to purchase a premium vehicle, to avoid the Mercedes Benz brand. In my experience, the premium image Mercedes Benz seeks to portray is an utter illusion more closely aligned to Vauxhall in the 90’s. If you must have a Mercedes, then I would advise to avoid Marshalls of Bolton… If only due to the their non-existent approach to concerns/complaints. As for the Marshalls Mercedes dealer group, I would certainly advise a mystery shopper exercise to ensure vehicles are not being mis-sold and other people are not put at financial risk.
After an incredibly stressful ordeal with Bolton Mercedes, I feel compelled to share my experience. Despite assurances and a costly diagnostic process, they wrongly accused my vehicle's engine of being stolen. This led to unnecessary financial strain and immense stress, only for an independent check by Mercedes Stockport to reveal the engine was not stolen. The lack of accuracy, accountability, and the distress this caused has deeply shaken my trust in Bolton Mercedes. I'm now left with no choice but to seek legal recourse to address the financial and emotional toll this has taken on me. Customers deserve transparency and integrity, both of which were severely lacking in my interaction with this dealership.
Purchased the Car in June last year including the extra insurance policies they sell to you. The Aftercare has been beyond a joke and really disappointed and disheartened and fed up of being continually fobbed off with people permanently in meetings or they will call you back and never do. (8 weeks after the issues have been raised formally with Marshalls after still getting nowhere I am yet to receive any communication even though the procedures say that the general manager will be in touch in 14 days.) With this dealership, it’s all money, money, money and sell, sell, sell! After you purchase a car from them be prepared to be bombarded with Sales Calls, emails the lot about did you want to buy a new car from them or trade it in or a VIP event to buy a new car despite only buying a car from them 24hrs ago – this went on for weeks and weeks of being hassled and called despite politely asking to be removed from the database – talk about making you feel valued and a walking cashpoint? I purchased a Marshall's breakdown recovery product thinking breakdown is not included with the vehicle to find out from speaking with Mercedes directly they offer it for each year that you have it serviced with them. I also purchased an enhanced warranty product that is supposed to cover you for if things go wrong. After returning home with my new car from Marshalls I discovered the following day an issue with the passenger seat (Coupe) being unable to fold so you can sit in the back seats without having your ankles chopped off. The seat would only fold back to the previous position if you pushed it all the way back meaning the person in the back seats would have to hold their feet up in the air in order to not have their ankles broken. Clearly a fault with the mechanism. After getting nowhere with being able to speak to anybody from the service department about this issue I drove the vehicle back to Marshalls and requested somebody to look at it. They said the parts would NOT be covered under the Warranty and it would cost a fortune and the car being taken out of action for a few weeks as they ‘would need to strip the seats right back’ if the cable to seats had been snatched it would apparently have been covered. Being disappointed with being fobbed off and after buying an additional warranty product that supposedly gives you cover for expensive items if this is the performance over a faulty latch I would dread to think what performance you would have if the ‘car's gear sticks packed in’ as the sale consultant advised would supposedly be covered. Rang Mercedes, directly they could not understand the performance of Marshalls and said they would raise a purchase order with Mercedes and get paid directly as the car is covered under the warranty. I then took the car to another Mercedes dealership (Not Marshalls) and within a couple of hours replaced the mechanism and the car was back in my hands, no questions, no fuss, no sky-high bill or without a car. problem sorted. Then comes the next wave of millions of sales calls and continuous emails about booking your service in with them and they wonder why from this experience I wouldn’t have much confidence and not exactly forthcoming…

The dealer salesman Taz, very professional and with excellent product knowledge and the ability to listen (rare quality) would not hesitate to recommend Taz and Marshalls Mercedes dealership

By far the worst dealership I’ve ever dealt with. 9 months later and the car still has numerous faults (dangerous faults) and they still haven’t given me the second key. The car has been into numerous Mercedes garages over six times now, They don’t respond to any emails and ignore phone calls. If you’re going to look at a car, test drive it thoroughly and read the other reviews

Purchased our new car with the help of Latham, great service, knowledgeable and courteous throughout. All aspects of our purchase achieved with minimal effort. Well done!
Judging by the reviews here, it’s time this dealership were investigated by trading standards. I still haven’t received a deposit refund of £500 which I was assured was paid over 16 days ago. A blatant lie that it had been refunded.
Great service, amazing sales. Dealt with Holly who was fantastic from the moment she came to greet me... Not only was I sold on my dream car but I was also sold on Holly's attitude attention to detail and smile. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to look after me.
