Dear Mr. Chambers-
Thank you (and Brad) for your prompt action regarding this matter. Quite honestly, it was above and beyond anything I expected. At most, I was hoping for assistance from your dealership in getting this matter resolved. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect your dealership to refund the money directly to me and seek reimbursement from Alexico – especially since, in my eyes, they are the party truly at fault here.
My one regret is that I did not contact the dealership sooner, though as I mentioned above, I did not feel they were the ones responsible for my ordeal. Had I known they could achieve such quick results, I would not have hesitated!
Having purchased cars from several local large dealers in the metro Boston area, I can honestly say, you’ve provided the best service out of all of them, hands down. Mercedes Benz of Natick is top notch in my opinion and many thanks to Brad for resolving this matter in such an expeditious fashion!! You’ve certainly earned a customer here!
Many thanks,
Brandon

Hi,
I bought a new Mercedes from Mercedes Benz of Natick back in August 2008. Shortly after my purchase, pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, I elected to cancel the Gap Insurance ($595) and Alexico Tire and Wheel Travel-Gard coverage ($499). Again, per the terms of the Agreements, I sent notices to Mercedes Benz of Natick for the Gap Insurance and a notice direct to Alexico for the Travel Gard. Both agreements provide up to 60 days for the money to be refunded. After several follow-ups (primarily with Alexico), I have had absolutely no response from Alexico Corporation. I have since filed formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the State of Kansas Attorney General’s office and the Massachusetts Insurance Department.
To date, although I have received confirmation that my complaints have been received by the above mentioned parties, I still have yet to hear anything from Alexico.
Given that I purchased this “product” from your firm, you acted as the distributor and Alexico has failed to respond to my repeated requests for cancellation/refund, I am now writing direct to you in hopes that you can use your influence with Alexico to obtain my refund ASAP.
For your reference, the agreement numbers involved are as follows:
TRAVEL GARD agreement#232637; GAP ADDENDUM agreement #2045287. Purchase date of my vehicle was on 8/23/08.
Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience with Herb Chambers and I’d hate to see my perception change due to the failure of one of your vendors to respond. That said, however, I would expect Herb Chambers to select vendors more carefully to ensure customer satisfaction – I have experienced anything but with Alexico and will refuse to buy anything from them ever again!
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could assist me in this matter and getting my money (and any applicable finance charges) refunded from Alexico.
Kind regards,
Brandon
