Joke of a dealer. Bought a cpo and hassled into pay thousands for their prepaid service contract to “save” 30% on service for next 3 years. At first oil change 5k whi Bought a cpo and hassled into pay thousands for their prepaid service contract to “save” 30% on service for next 3 years. At first oil change 5k which should be free , they wanted to charge $700 for preventative maintenance. Ha- I guess they thought my wife was clueless female. Then check engine light comes a week later- they said it’s fine check oil cap tightness. A week goes goes by. Long story short, 3 weeks in shop to wait on electronic radiator grill shutters - thank god under warranty otherwise $3,000 More

Service RE: After service check analysis of BMW of Chattanooga August 2017 I wanted to connect with you RE: After service check analysis of BMW of Chattanooga August 2017 I wanted to connect with you one last time as the BMW X5 we've brought in for service during the month on July was nothing but one big mistake. And here's why: 1) we initially had the car towed in for service early in the month as the dashboard was light up like a Christmas tree with all sorts of warnings. A week later, and nearly $3,000.00 later too, we were assured the problems were corrected. On the trip home from the dealership, the lights were on again. then they disappeared. 3 days later, I brought the car back to the dealership for the same thing. Your people couldn't find anything, returned the car to us and said that if it repeated, that we should write down what it did and what the driving conditions were like at the time. The service advisor also stated that, because they couldn't find the issue, the dealership would help towards our costs with a loaner car/ rental and towing. We had the car towing again about 2 weeks later, no loaner was available, no help on the rental (we were told that the rental would be on us). The defective parts were "supposedly" found and placed on order. The only communication from your people was that they would order parts (another $750.00) and get them installed as soon as they were received. Three days later, I called to check on the progress, as was told that the wrong parts were ordered (or received) and it would be another few days. Now, before I go any further, let's talk about the phone call...... your phone system quite frankly, sucks. You can't get through to talk to a real person except after numerous attempts and much time. I actually drove to the dealership on one occasions, from Cleveland, because I couldn't get through on the phone. I was told by the service manager (Eddie) that they had a "system" on the phones. I agree whole-heartedly.... you do have a "system". The correct parts finally came in and we were at the dealership about 1 1/2 hours later to pick it up. We were directed to an empty desk and told to wait there to pay for the service and parts. We waited, and waited and waited some more (20 minutes) . I finally got up and walked through the showroom until I found someone, anyone so we could pay and get our vehicle home. We got exactly 4 tenths of a mile from your dealership before the dash lit up again and flashed all sorts of warnings. I never took the car home. I took it to a Jeep dealer where we traded it in on a new vehicle. Never again will I own a BMW, never again will I have a need for service at your or any BMW dealerships. But, rest assured, I will ALWAYS speak of my experience, of the costs, of the lack of communication and the inability to connect with any one at your dealership. You may indeed have a dealership, but don't ever try to convince me you are service oriented. I will be posting on all the web reviews I can find, I will dissuade all our friends from buying BMW, and I will be a thorn in your side, hopefully causing you the loss of many sales for years to come!!! With my deepest, most sincere promise, KF Cleveland, TN More
Absolutely Terrible. Took my car in with a service issue, was charged hundreds of dollars for diagnosis at the end of which I was left with an "I don't know." Took it to a Took my car in with a service issue, was charged hundreds of dollars for diagnosis at the end of which I was left with an "I don't know." Took it to another shop and they diagnosed and fixed the issue within the first hour. Completely unacceptable and I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this dealership for any reason. More
Price Gouge Brought in my car for an oil change and the "Service Engine Soon" light was on. Was charged $272 for the oil and for them to read the light. Then was Brought in my car for an oil change and the "Service Engine Soon" light was on. Was charged $272 for the oil and for them to read the light. Then was told that I needed my engine coolant flushed, injectors cleaned and wheels aligned. They didn't even put it on an alignment rack so I'm not sure how they could tell it needed aligned. (No alignment needed) To top it off they wanted $398 to replace the Crankcase Vent Valves($252 for labor). These valves cost 15-35 dollars per and there are 2 of them. I did it myself for $54 and completed the entire job in 14 minutes. Since they were charging $252 for labor that works out to $1080.00 per hour for labor. I won't be bringing it back to this place.

Unprofessional nightmare I was on my way to a wedding when my engine light came on. Stop in to the BMW of Chattanooga March of last year. The gentleman that was helping me ge I was on my way to a wedding when my engine light came on. Stop in to the BMW of Chattanooga March of last year. The gentleman that was helping me get my car ticketed in to the system I didn't feel like he was really helpful kind of rude. You can get a sense of how the customer service is going to be usually in the first five minutes of being in a place. I didn't have a good feeling. It was going to take them a while to work on my car so another gentleman shuffled a lady in her 40s & myself back to our hotels. He dropped me off last and put his arm around me before I got out pulling me closer to him as he leaned in to try and kiss me. I was shaken up by his behavior. Which didn't help when the 1st gentleman called to tell me the same guy who made me uncomfortable. Wrecked my car by backing into another vehicle. I was so upset to hear what happen. I got emotional from the whole experience. I didn't really know what to do but when I got there they said they could fix it in two hours I didn't have the time I was out of time to get to the wedding and didn't want to stay there any longer. I just wanted to leave & pretend it didn't happen. They said that they would take care of me and that I can get it fixed and the dealership in Charlotte that was a year ago almost. After they said they would take care of me I contacted the same gentleman who told me he would get it all taken care of his name is Michael. I texted him whenever I got back. He tells me to email Trent Conrad and that he knows the situation. Trent didn't know the situation I had to explain it all. He then had to follow up. All of this is taking time I had to have surgery and seven surgeries following. During this time (8 months) I'm contacting Trent explaining to him that I've had surgery I can't drive but to go ahead & call the dealership here in Charlotte speak to the manager explain everything so that when I healed I can go in there when I'm ready I don't have to chase you guys down. He made very little effort to get in touch with him maybe 3-4 times in this year. three times this is happened where I have contacted justin and asked him if Trent had called three times this process would happen is were I have contacted Justin and asked him if Trent had called he said no one time. He said he did call another time but justin called him back and hadn't heard from him again and that was over this last year. I finally got fed up and call the GM to find out there was a new GM to the store. I explained that GM I'm very frustrated about my entire situation at your store my schedule does not condone be calling you guys all the time I am very busy with eight classes before Thursday and working 60 hours a week not to mention still working another job. With two jobs and school I cannot keep calling you guys to get this taken care of I explained. I told the GM it's disrespectful to my schedule that your drawing this out and it's not getting handled. It's also a disrespect me and shows that you guys really don't care about what happened. Treat found the time to email me. In which he should have called me. It said made an attempt to call the guy 2x can you get me a direct number or have him call me??? I'm like not my job. You should be calling him everyday if it's really a priority to you after almost a year there's no excuse don't give me your responsibility to do. I've already explained I'm not able to contribute anymore time on this they need to handle it. I called Justin he said yes he called and I called him back and a month later I'm finding out Trent hasn't even bothered to call him again. I called Trent after I spoke with Justin. No surprise that there wasn't an answer. I called the GM and I left him a voicemail two days later hadn't heard from either of them. I then proceeded to make a complaint with BMW which all they can do is refer the information over to the dealership. They have yet to call me back it's been over a week and my experience with them has been a nightmare I'm having to take them to court. More
Nothing but Difficulties I am not one to write reviews but given my experience here I feel it necessary to share. I bought a 3 year old car from here and within the 5 months o I am not one to write reviews but given my experience here I feel it necessary to share. I bought a 3 year old car from here and within the 5 months of me having it, the car has been at the dealership getting worked on for ~1 month of this time frame. The first time they had my car for TWO WEEKS. Originally the issue was they thought I needed a tire. The tire was back ordered and then after my 1 week rental car was up(warranty covered) the dealership decided to tank test the tire and determined it wasn't a tire issue but in fact a hairline fracture in the wheel. Another week passed and i finally got my car back. This was 2 months into having the car. Why would you wait a full week to tank test the tire? Beyond me. Then I brought it in for routine maintenance at the 5 month mark. Well I have all the extended warranties so it was all going to be covered. Think again, they found that the tire was treading unevenly and the tire was splitting in half. They said the warranty doesn't cover that and so I need two new tires and an alignment(~1K total). Well I've only had the car for 5 months so to say that in that time frame I caused the tire to tread unevenly is ludicrous. Also my front brakes were saying due and screeched occasionally(so it made sense to me they were due). They determined that the CBS data(the condition based monitoring the car does) was incorrect and so they reset it and did not change the brakes. I don't need a vehicle status report to know when I hear brakes screeching.. I got a BMW to not have these types of experiences and the dealership didn't seem to put any priority on getting my car back to me on either occasion it was there. Given this, I requested to speak to the GM and express my thoughts and seek some sort of compensation for not having my car for almost a month out of 5 months of owning it. I spoke to Ray Karnes and he assured me, "I'll tell you this, give me 24 hours to look into your case and I'll get back to you." He called me at 6pm the next day and told me his day got busy with meetings and he would touch base the next day. I never heard from the guy....Another showcase of no sense of me being any type of a priority. Extremely disappointed in my short experiences here. I wish I had good experiences here as it would be very convenient for me. Unfortunately Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I won't chance it a third time here, I am a lost customer with no confidence in bringing my car here again. More
