Moaner pleaser
I would appreciate your advice on the dispute my father has been having over several years with Mercedes Benz Blackpool. There have been many letters sent and several confrontations at the dealership, with him receiving abysmal service on several issues. However to summarize the main issue for you my father bought the car, complained several times over the next few years that the steering did not seem right and was ignored / brushed aside repeatedly. Eventually the steering failed while on holiday in the French Alps, which cost him several thousand Euros to fix as well as even more wasted time. We would really appreciate some advice on where to go next as dealing direct with this Mercedes dealer has got him nowhere.
