Before turning in your leased Mercedes-Benz, schedule your complimentary pre-inspection with an independent third-party inspection company. You can choose the time and location that's most convenient, whether at home, work, or another preferred location.

We brought in my wife's EQE 350 in for scheduled maintenance and 4 hours later, we left with a more luxurious vehicle. How you ask? Well, our sales consultant, Jessica D. was so pleasant to talk to, that we couldn't resist the deal that we got. She showed us various models and test drove all of them. She was very patient, courteous, and never pressured us; hassle free negotiating. Definitely coming back to MB Fairfield when the lease on this new car is up.
