Had an oil change done here Friday. Went well and the team there was kind and professional. Ruby and Adam were helpful and kind. They even dropped my car off at my house afterwards despite their busy schedule. I will return for work on my non-warranty eligible vehicles lol.

Had a great experience at Pullen Motors. The battery in my car was all of a sudden dying overnight and we couldn’t figure out why Pullen was able to diagnose the problem. They got us fixed up and also had some other services performed. Everything runs and drives perfect now thank you

I had a very serious issue with my car and they were able to look at it right away, got a quick diagnostic, and parts were ordered quickly. I’m still surprised how great the team is… also, it’s not always that easy to find someone who works with Mercedes and do it so quickly. 100% recommend them… and will only service my car with them moving forward.
