Mercedes-Benz of El Cajon has committed itself to a greener planet by designing our dealership to LEED certification standards. While the certification process takes a year, we meet all the requirements, and when we receive our certification, we’ll be the only LEED certified Mercedes-Benz dealership in San Diego County, the third in California, and the eleventh across the United States.
“What is LEED certification?” you might ask. LEED is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council that evaluates a structure’s environmental footprint, and to attain certification, your building needs to show an outstanding commitment to green design. That didn’t stop us: At Mercedes-Benz of El Cajon, we’re doing everything we can to ensure our Chula Vista, El Cajon, La Mesa, and Bonita, CA neighbors have a greener tomorrow.

We’re particularly proud of the fact that:
