Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel

What Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel does

Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel is a full-service franchised luxury automotive dealership located at 1 Star Drive, Laguna Niguel, California, on a 22-acre lot in Orange County. Founded circa 1970, it is one of only seven Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the U.S. with more than 50 years of continuous operation and operates as part of the Murgado Automotive Group. The dealership sells new Mercedes-Benz vehicles across the full model lineup (SUVs, sedans, coupes, convertibles, AMG performance models, and Sprinter commercial vans), certified pre-owned vehicles under a 165-point inspection and unlimited-mileage warranty program, and pre-owned inventory including a proprietary Homegrown Collection with verified in-house service history. It also operates a dedicated AMG Performance Center and a separate Sprinter Van dealership at lagunasprintervans.com.

The business runs a multi-channel go-to-market: physical showroom sales with phone (949-347-3700 sales, 949-347-3860 service), online inventory browsing, video-call test drives, home/office delivery, and 24/7 online service scheduling, supported by a multilingual interface (English, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Russian). Revenue is generated from one-time new and pre-owned vehicle sales, finance and insurance products via Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and Sunbit service financing, subscription-style lease agreements (e.g., 24-month leases at $249-$398/month for entry models), and recurring service and parts income through a factory-certified service center, Express Service, and a tire and wheel center with price-match guarantee.

The technology stack is largely OEM-provided rather than proprietary: Mercedes-Benz Digital Extras for remote vehicle access and digital upgrades, Tesla Supercharger network integration for EV owners (over 20,000 chargers), Botdoc for encrypted document handling, Yelp for reviews, and DealerInspire as the website platform. In 2025 the dealership was recognized with Mercedes-Benz's Best of the Best award. The customer base is retail consumer across affluent Orange County demographics, with no enterprise anchor accounts disclosed and a horizontally segmented audience spanning luxury buyers, pre-owned seekers, EV/hybrid buyers, and performance enthusiasts.
