Outstanding from Start to Finish! I recently pre-ordered a 2015 C-Class from Helms Bros., and the experience was outstanding from beginning to end. The receptionist kindly welcomed me I recently pre-ordered a 2015 C-Class from Helms Bros., and the experience was outstanding from beginning to end. The receptionist kindly welcomed me when I walked though the door, and all of the employees were interested in offering me a world class experience. Andrea Kass was a pleasure to work with, and she kept me updated on the status of my car on a daily basis. When the factory unexpectedly changed the delivery date, she had a loaner car delivered to my workplace by the end of the day. I was able to use the car on a daily basis until my new car arrived at the dealership. Andrea was easy to communicate with, she responded to e-mails and phone calls almost immediately, and she was truly interested in making me happy. The operation at Helms Bros, from top to bottom, is world class. The employees are exceptional, the customer service is top notch, and everyone there hopes to make your day better. I highly recommend Helms Bros. for your new or pre-owned vehicle, and I look forward to working with them in the future! More

Certified pre owned E 350 purchase and dealer service. This was our fourth Mercedes Benz purchase. We usually keep our cars for ten years. Our first purchase was a 280 SE in 1976. Our purchase of a pr This was our fourth Mercedes Benz purchase. We usually keep our cars for ten years. Our first purchase was a 280 SE in 1976. Our purchase of a preowned Mercedes from Helms Bros was a pure delight from the very beginning. I highly recommend our sales person Evelyn Chin for her knowledge and courtesy throughout the transaction. Matt Lunetta offered us an extended 2 year warranty that made us feel even more confident with our purchase. By the way, the preowned showroom is spacious and inviting. We also dealt with Sean Savage who also was extremely courteous and the service manager Richard Grein who was not only very professional but extremely passionate about his job. It's good to find a service manager who cares about his customers. He really does care. We look forward to his assurances in the future. We were also very pleased to meet John Kunz the preowned GM and Suzanne Cochrane who is the Helms Bros GM. They were both extremely gracious and more than helpful with our purchase and service. We wish them and the entire staff continued success at Helms Bros Mercedes Benz. More

This is my second vehicle purchase from the incredible staff at Helms Brothers Mercedes in Bayside, NY. My first purchase was painless and flawless, and I must say , the second purchase was even better! V staff at Helms Brothers Mercedes in Bayside, NY. My first purchase was painless and flawless, and I must say , the second purchase was even better! Value, service, attention to detail, and COMPLETE customer satisfaction is what this delership is all about. Lets face it.. the Mercedes is truly engineered like no other car in the world, but it is the dealership, and more importantly, it's staff that truly make the buying experience what it is. Let me tell you.. the employees are MASTERS at what they do! From the moment you walk in the front door, you are transported to a time and place where the customer is what it is all about. Talk about going above, and beyond.. John and Michael were relentless at making sure I got what I wanted, when I wanted it, and for a price.. well, lets just say NO OTHER dealer came close! They are ALL truly masters at what they do. Helms Brothers makes you feel like the dealership is your home.. a place where you can feel comfortablem buying a Mercedes. I enjoyed buying my first Benz there, was happy to get my second, and truly look forward to getting my thirrd. They are my (as well as all my family members, and friends) dealer for LIFE! Kudos to Mr. Callahan for putting together (and keeping) such a star line up of emplyees at his dealership! As stated earlier, Mercedes is engineered like no other car in the world, and Helms Brothers is truly a dealership like no other in the world! Give them a shot.. you will not be sorry, and you too, will be a customer for life. Thanks again for a great car, a great deal, and a great buying experience. See you all soon! More

I recently purchased an ML 350 at you Bayside showroom, and I would like to bring to your attention the caliber of several employees that I had the pleasure of dealing with. In the past, I have made my Mer and I would like to bring to your attention the caliber of several employees that I had the pleasure of dealing with. In the past, I have made my Mercedes Benz purchases at Silver Star, but that is just that, in the past, for the most part, because of your employees. First and foremost, Mr. Michael Nekava is a phenomenal sales associate, and he will be mine for life. His attention to detail is astounding. He truly made me feel at home the minute I walked through the door. He stood by me throughout the purchase, and even has stayed in touch after the sale to ensure my happiness. To this day he is still in contact to ensure my happiness, and letting me know of current deals and incentives. Needless to say, my parents and cousin are currently working with him to get into a new Mercedes. Mikey truly is now part of our family. I also had the pleasure of dealing with Ms. Jennifer Lang who appraised my vehicle and made certain that I was taken care of when I was at the showroom during the vehicle purchase process. A straight shooter if I ever saw one. Her kindness and persona are only rivaled by her professionalism and work ethic. She truly is an asset to your dealership, and a diamond in the rut. She has an uncanny knack for keeping all the xxxxx in the air and getting the job done right the first time. My best interest was now handed over to Mr. John Kunz, who impressed me from the moment he entered the room. His intense attention to customer satisfaction enhanced my purchasing experience and totally made me feel like part of the Helms family. He was relentless in the pursuit of my happiness and making sure I was completely happy with my vehicle. He went over that ML with a fine tooth comb to ensure my satisfaction. His professionalism and work ethic is only rivaled by his million dollar smile and movie star looks. Upon vehicle delivery, I also had the good fortune of dealing with Mr. Ricardo Faria, and Mr. Matthew Pennoyer. Both gentlemen were professional and caring. Meeting them truly enhanced my purchasing experience. They are both also a big part of your Helms team that truly go above and beyond to make a difference. I truly believe that there is no one in your dealership that is not amazing at what they do for your customers. Kudos to you for having such a fine group of people under your employment. You are truly lucky to have them. You Sir, have the “Dream Team” of associates at Helms Brother Mercedes Benz! I am sure that because of them, you sleep better at night. It is my strong recommendation that you secure their future with your company at this location, because I can guarantee that I do not speak alone when I say that if they were not there, most, if not all, of your customer base would not be there as well. You may rest assured that your stellar employees have guaranteed my return business, as well as the business of my friends and family, as well as all of my referrals, which I can assure you will make a difference in your bottom line. Thank you again for the wonderful buying experience, and for your time. More
