Abe Miller and team are the BEST! Abe knows my buying style and that I do my homework, so does not need to "salesman" me as much as other customers. Because of this it makes for an extremely enjoyable buying experience. He is on point tracking down any of my technical questions and great at finding every discount possible for me. Thank you Abe and team for another fantastic buying experience!

My experience with this mechanic shop was extremely disappointing. It seemed like they either lacked the expertise to diagnose issues accurately or simply weren't putting in the effort. Initially, I brought my vehicle in for two issues. Firstly, regarding my third-row seat, despite my clear explanation that it stopped functioning after a few folds, they insisted it was fine until I pressed for further diagnosis. Eventually, they identified the problem and fixed it. The second issue with my right-side headlight was even more frustrating. Despite explaining that the headlight itself was functional but the adaptive high beam assist was ... Read More

Mr. (Evan) Price was true to his name and got me the best price in the country on a new EQS. My third EQS purchase in three years and an easy one from MBSLO. They worked with me to deliver the car across the country in Connecticut and take in my trade. Would highly recommend Evan and the dealership even if buying remotely by phone as I did.

Three recalls, a front-end alignment and a few items quickly and professionally done and the allotted time frame. Phillip Beth was my service adviser, he has great communication skills, was able to help with an issue where radio was turning on loud every time ignition was turned on.

Hello, I work as an independent contractor and small business owner in San Luis Obispo. Every 2 weeks this dealership orders from instacart roughly 30 cases of soda, water and other goods. They do not tip. I know tip is not required but paying someone $15 total for such a large reoccurring order is poor business practices. Heck, you tip your pizza guy $5 normally at least...
