What Bill Can Help You With:

The awesome part about having a Vehicle Exchange Specialist at our dealership is the convenience. Leasing through the Mercedes-Benz First-Class Finish program makes things simple for our clients on Long Island, but we understand that they may still need some additional assistance. Luckily for them, Bill is here to help! We love making our sales process as simple and convenient as possible, and this is just one way we make that happen!

Bill goes through our Service Department roster everyday, and checks on our customers that come in for appointments. If it looks like their lease is ending soon, Bill checks in, and lets them know! From there, he helps our customers get into their next New, or Pre-Owned Vehicle to fit their needs!
