Hamed has been an absolute pleasure to work with. This is the third car I have purchased through him, and each experience has been a breeze! Hamed knows how to streamline the process, making it quick and seamless, and he is a true delight from start to finish. He not only ensures I get a fantastic deal but goes above and beyond to make sure everything feels easy and efficient. If you are looking for top-notch service and a hassle-free buying experience, Hamed is your go-to!

Having bought two Mercedes SUVs from Farshad at WI Simonson, I can enthusiastically give a 5-star rating. Farshad is a good listener and a resourceful dealmaker. (I also like the WI Simonson service department. Nick has been especially helpful.)

Great place. First I would like to give 7 stars. Sam, Ali, Shawn, Romina and Farhad helped me honestly to get a nice car. They are very knowledgeable, kind and honest team.I got another car yesterday. Sam did a great job. I really appreciate him and all the help she gave me in the process of getting the new Mercedes.

One of the worst dealers I have ever dealt with in my life. I bought a car based on the fact that it was certified by Mercedes, without any previous accidents, but I was deceived. After checking with Mercedes, I was surprised that the car had previous accidents. I got this proof from Mercedes CA . After informing the dealer and their refusal to return the car and cancel the sales contract, I filed a lawsuit. Therefore, I warn you against buying used cars from them and have your car checked by another dealer before signing the sales contract so that you are not deceived. They deceived me as well.the name of sales man is ChristopherDo not trust. Ended up with a huge loss because they sold me a defective car. Ended up with a big loss

It’s the bad Delar I ever deal with , I bought a Mercedes-Benz from them after 3 months I found problems on it , then I found out that the car has accident before and they sale it to me as Mercedes certified that is fraud and I have suitcase with them in the court so so be careful before you buy any car from them most of them cars has accident and they fix it in the dealerDo not trust. Ended up with a huge loss because they sold me a defective car. Ended up with a big loss

It is with great regret that we got rid of our 2021 GLA 250. We immediately submitted all documentation (from the transfer and sale to Carmax of San Diego) to the W. I. Simonson Finance Department to obtain our respective refund for extended warranties acquired during the purchase process. After a couple of months without receiving our check back, we decided to contact Karen Lodovico who had previously helped us in the purchasing process. He immediately set out to find out what was happening and promised to help us once again. It is worth noting that in less than 20 days we already had our refund back. Thank you Karen for your dedication and commitment to providing excellent customer service.

I had the best buying experience with Rizo @ this dealership.I looked at many cars on craigslist,carmax,and honestly got all service history records,carfax ,even found me 2nd key at no charge,fill the tank,washed the car too.This is certainly not my 1st rodeo,buying cars.But I had zero stress with WI Siomonson,and would highly recommend any mercedes buyer,just call Rizo in Sales.Never been so happy with a used car.And 55k miles,one owner car,in perfect condition.dont waste your time looking at private sellors,with scketchy descriptions? GO SIMONSO

Service Department staff are friendly and competent. Communication about the status of my car was somewhat inconsistent.Their body shop is through a partnership and that place gave a very expensive quote, mostly from labor cost approaching $300/hr. Ridiculous. Hope they pick a body shop partner that brings better value to Mercedes customers.

What’s seemed to be a good vehicle purchase went bad real quick!I’ve been working with Sam for the past week to purchase a 2019 E Class. We went back and forth via text, he sent me videos of the car and I was ready to move forward.Last week he ran my credit application and got it approved through Mercedes Fiancne. I let him know I wanted to put $5,000 down because I had a trade in and was upside down. We discussed extended warranties and my new monthly car payment. We came to an agreement.Through out the week he followed up with me and said that he will send me a electronic contract and only needed a $500 deposit for now and will charge me the $4,500 difference. We both came to an agreement.Today, I received a call from the finance guy to discuss the options for Extended Warranties and this is when everything went left. I wish I remembered his name but I only have the phone number he called me from.We’re discussing the warranties and interest rates for the new purchase. We agreed to a warrnty and I said let’s move forward and send me the e-contract. He said he had a customer and would call me back within a hour.He calls me back within 10 minutes laughing saying the customer he was currently helping was purchasing the vehicle I wanted to buy.I was so thrown off because I had been in communication and waiting for a e-contract for over a week and was willing to pay the $5,000 deposit over the phone and/or email.This was a real shady way of handling business! I would expect this from a mom/pop dealership but not Mercedes Benz.Unacceptable!

I contacted the dealership very early this morning on a 2024 Mercedes GLE. Reza Abniki Reached out very promptly. I explained I would like to see photos of any damage or imperfections he agreed he would send photos. After a few hours I sent him a text and email following up asking for photos again. He finally sent me photos of the WRONG car. I asked for a different Saleaman. He had his “partner” reach out to me to tell me it was because the car I inquired about was in service. And they do not work out of town deals on the weekend. That if I still want the car on Monday they will reach out to me Monday.

BEST experience! Chris was the best through and thin. He took care of every single one of my needs. I came from Florida to do business with him, he’s so beyond professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The entire deal from the time I called in to the delivery was absolutely amazing. He is a gem! Finance was also amazing, Tamer is just as amazing and made the experience just as smooth, and enjoyable. Thank you both so much! Great dealership

Do not ever buy a CPO Mercedes. We bought one last week Thursday, and Friday it was making a noise. When we took it to a dealership, the repair is not covered by the CPo warranty. The car is supposed to go through a vigorous inspection, and after one day of driving, we have a $2,100 repair. The CPO is a false sense of security. Don't buy a CPO vehicle or any vehicle for that matter.Update: I received a call back, and dealership is making it right. They had me work with an AZ dealer, will update this once the car is repaired.

Hi everyone,I wanted to take a moment to share the fantastic experience my fiancé and I had with Marc D Rose, the finance manager at Mercedes-Benz Santa Monica. From start to finish, Marc provided excellent service, going above and beyond to ensure we felt like VIPs. The level of care we received was truly exceptional - it felt like they rolled out the red carpet for us. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Mark and the entire team at Mercedes-Benz Santa Monica.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a Mercedes from WI Simonson, and I must say it was a truly outstanding experience from start to finish. From my initial online inquiry to the moment the keys were handed over, every step of the process was handled with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail.Upon my online inquiry, Sales Representative Seven promptly connected with me and provided me with all the detailed information I needed. His responsiveness and knowledge were impressive, making the initial stages of the purchase seamless and efficient.When I arrived on-site, Seven was unfortunately unavailable, but he went above and beyond by arranging for Lina, another representative, to assist me. Lina dedicated a considerable amount of time ensuring I had all the information required, from an informative test drive to a detailed demonstration of the car's features. Her commitment to excellence made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.Finance Manager Marc was equally efficient and thorough in preparing the necessary documentation. Impressively, all documents were sent to me in advance, allowing me ample time to review and understand the terms before visiting the dealership. This level of transparency and foresight speaks volumes about WI Simonson's commitment to customer satisfaction.One notable aspect of WI Simonson is their consistent service standard. Every individual I encountered, from Seven and Lina to Marc and beyond, exuded professionalism, politeness, and evident expertise. Their well-trained team reflects a dealership that takes pride in delivering an unparalleled customer experience.The transparency in pricing deserves special mention, as there were no hidden fees beyond the listed price. WI Simonson's commitment to honesty and integrity in their dealings further solidified my trust in the dealership.In addition to the exemplary service received during the purchase, WI Simonson went the extra mile by efficiently arranging the shipping of the car to my residence in a different state. This level of dedication and customer-centric approach truly sets WI Simonson apart in the automotive industry.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend WI Simonson to anyone in search of a Mercedes dealership that consistently exceeds expectations. Thank you, Seven, Lina, Marc, and the entire WI Simonson team, for making my car-buying experience truly exceptional!

3rd or 4th car I’ve bought from this dealership. Sam Farkhondeh has helped each time. Nothing short of amazing. Honest, straight forward and makes buying a car feel painless. Highly recommend working with him and this dealership. Competitive prices on their cars plus their trade in value if you trade your car. A+ experience.

Purchasing the car - I could not have asked for a nicer or more helpful and honest salesperson. We did not buy a different brand this time because I did not feel like I was dealing with an honest person last time we shopped there. I am very happy with my new car and the help I received at the dealership.Maintenance Dept - This was my first experience with Simonson repair department. I have had nothing but great experiences with the Beverly Hills location and did not think Simonson would be as good. But I was wrong. Everyone was exceptional. The gentleman who gave me a ride home after dropping off my car is an impressive spokesperson for the electric car we were in. One of those cars will be our next one.

Employee Marc Rose shouted threats at me and attempted to run me off the road with his car. All because I was waiting at a red light where he wanted to make a right turn. Be careful of this unstable psychopath.

As a first time car buyer Lina was very thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. She made sure that I received the best offer possible and made the process a breeze. It could be intimidating to purchase a new vehicle, but I felt confident with my decision knowing that she was very transparent and had my best interest. If you are looking to purchase a vehicle trust me ask for Lina she is the absolute best! I left home with a beautiful new vehicle in great condition and I couldn’t be happier!
