Millenium auto group in NJ says go to hell? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

DarkOneSK · #1 04-02-2007, 05:32 PM

I'm trying to organize a joint GTG for MBUSA, BenzWorld and Mercedesshop for central jersey USA
Here is the whole, true story.
Well, It appears that Millenium Auto group, (An Official Mercedes Dealer) in Bridgwater NJ will not be participating in the NJ GTG. After leaving 3 e-mails, and 4 phone calls, which he refused to return, I went over there and left a message for the owner that he wouldn't return my calls or e-mails, which he intercepted. THEN The sales manager called me, and told me to Tell Benzworld, Mercedesshop and MBUSA that he dosn't need our business and to take our members and shove them up my ass.
Jeez. all I wanted was some flags and **** for a local event.
Guess he blew it bigtime....
This moron never even heard of MBUSA. or any of us for that matter.
So... On to MBHQ. The search continues.
I left another message for the owner and saved the sales manager's message on my phone which I will play back to the owner and see if the owner makes up for it. If not, I won't be doing any business with them at all.
I also have one up at the General mercedes forum too. but I felt you guys should know personally.
If anyone is a member of MBUSA, post it over there too for me. I think they'd be interested in knowing this.
Thanks

Edit: here is the message, so it's easier to find for those just joining us.

^^^^^Post #28 in "Service Experiences at Dealership", the first "sticky" at the top of this section, provides the BW link to this discussion, with further discussion about this incredible series of events, with member comments also..

Hard to believe a Mercedes sales manager at a authorized dealer would spout obscenities at a customer.

This is effing ridiculous and absurd. If it were me I would call MBUSA in Jersey and play the message for the edification of upper management to demonstrate this "dealers"concern for Mercedes enthusiasts who comprise a great percentage of their revenue.

I would also,{and since I do not know the legal ramifications I would not "advise" this

} download the message and convert it into a WAV or similar sound file and post it on ALL Mercedes forums,also detailing the fellow's name,position with the stealership and the rest of your callous treatment,just an idea.

Ok I'll bring my mic upstairs tomorrow so I can record it. now to find my recording software...
I should have it for you tomorrow. I was holding off in the hopes that the owner would contact me. He hasn't so he missed his chance at freedom. you want blood, you got it. I'll have it for ya tomorrow.

and as far as how it was handled on my end, I asked politely, introduced myself, mentioned there could be possible 3 member groups involved, MBUSA, Benzworld, and Mercedesshop and that we had in excess of 50,000 NJ members between us and that we expect it to be a large event. I offered to give them 8 slots for a new car display, all I asked for was some flags and ropeoffs for the event that they may, or maynot have in storage. I asked the same way, every time in phone messages I left, (because he never takes calls) and e-mails. It was when I left a message at the secretary's desk for the owner that things got bad. All my message said was, please call me, I am putting on a car show and your Sales Manager refuses to return my calls after waiting 2 weeks. Then, I guess he was sleeping with the secretary, cuz, he somehow ended up with the message that was intended for the owner, Then he called and cursed me out.
You will hear it tomorrow. If it wasn't on my machine, I'd find it hard to believe too.

I just hope after all this, he doesn't figure out where I live and trash my car when I'm asleep, cuz then he will have to see me when I'm angry. and he doesn't want to see me when I'm angry. the skin turns green, and darts shoot out of my eyes. Painful, but effective...

Listen well Sport.
I am on a first name basis with an executive at the Montvale NJ headquarters,also I have cultivated a fellow in Leonia also high up the chain.

You may wish to PM me and exchange phone #'s so I can record this guidoesque,Soprano-like farrago,so damaging to the reputation of the parent company.

Once again,simply a suggestion.............................

Yep, Millenium sucks. I live in Bridgewater and have gone to them on several occasions for various parts. They don't care about my business and they charge outrages prices for the simplest items. Like $55 for an oil filter!!! Never again will I frequent their store.

Please do let MB USA hear that recording. They are a disgrace to the MB nameplate.

Ah, let it go. You'd think they'd be nicer, but they can do what they want anyway they want to.

Larry Delor · #12 04-02-2007, 07:36 PM

At best, they will help sponsor the event with all kinds of goodies.

At worst, just like with their wiring harnesses, they'll deny knowledge of aforementioned dealership.

Jim B. · #13 04-02-2007, 07:43 PM

If someone put that up on Youtube, they're doomed.

Naaah, I didn't say that.

raymr · #14 04-02-2007, 08:45 PM

I'll tell all my NJ friends to avoid that place. When my dad lived in central NJ he never found a decent shop to bring the 380SE to. It could almost make you cry how much money he ended up spending to get simple things fixed.

Youtube was created for things like this...
