What Do Mercedes-Benz of Santa Rosa & Starbucks Have In Common?

The family at Mercedes-Benz of Santa Rosa is an avid supporter of shopping locally, supporting our community and the people who make it go ‘round.  That being said, please forgive us for using Starbucks in this example!  In our defense, let’s not forget that Starbucks, itself, was once a small, Seattle Pike Place independent coffee shop.

The Key To Our Success 


Whether you like Starbucks or prefer the local coffee shops like we do, the glaring similarity between Starbucks and Mercedes-Benz of Santa Rosa is simple: customer experience. We both thrive on offering a consistently excellent customer experience.  So, in essence, the key to our success is YOU! (and your enjoyable experience)

Starbucks & Mercedes-Benz are all about customer experience
Did you know Starbucks designed its shops to be our “third home”?  Knowing the house is our first, and office is second.  Unlike their competitors who preferred a fast turn-around, Starbucks wanted to make the customer experience so comfortable, people would feel welcome to conduct a small business meeting or linger with their friends for hours. Comfortable chairs, free wi-fi, welcoming staff, good music, nice smell, good food, healthy options and, of course, great coffee.

Our Philosophy


Our philosophy is similar, by way of a combination of the ever-enduring Mercedes-Benz brand reputation and Smothers European's own traditional customer service values.  Every employee at our dealership, service department and parts store is caring and knowledgeable. Attention is taken to make sure our guests don't feel rushed, pushed aside or pressured and instead, are comfortable, informed and empowered. 

This is a Mercedes-Benz of Santa Rosa experience!

Many of our customers have been with us over the years and thousands of miles, referring their friends and family members, all because of one thing—their experience.  

We genuinely appreciate serving Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and Lake counties.  Your experience is our experience and we’re honored to share it with you throughout the years.

One Last Thing


Did we mention we have great coffee, too?  Your complimentary cup awaits. :)

When you buy a car from Mercedes-Benz of Santa Rosa, the experience has only just begun! 

Buying your new car is just the beginning...
