I purchased my first BMW at Hassle BMW as they were the closest dealer to my home. The service was so bad and impersonal that I refused to go back. EVERY time I needed service, it came with some unexpecte closest dealer to my home. The service was so bad and impersonal that I refused to go back. EVERY time I needed service, it came with some unexpected "surprise". Staff was unfriendly, service was not performed as promised, etc. As an alternative, I began having my service done at Rallye BMW and I have never been treated better at an automobile dealer in my life. What a pleasant surprise. I just purchased my fourth BMW from them last month, and despite the fact that I have to travel much further to get to the dealership, I would not deal with anyone else.

I had recently brought my car in to the service department for an annual NYS inspection. Upon further inspection my vehicle had an issue with the air bag light staying on. I waited for a short whil department for an annual NYS inspection. Upon further inspection my vehicle had an issue with the air bag light staying on. I waited for a short while at the dealership until I was told the light could not be cleared at this time because there was issues with the battery/ground straps with water in the trunk area due to a tail light gasket.I was promptly given a loaner from my service advisor. I was informed by Chris what was being done,parts being ordered, and everything pertaining to my situitation every step of the way. I was very confident knowing the car was in good hands.I received my car car back clean and is back on the road running the way it should be. More

I took my car in for a battery charge and a battery replacement was recommended. After waiting approximately 3 hours, I inquire as to the status of my car and was informed that they were working on it. replacement was recommended. After waiting approximately 3 hours, I inquire as to the status of my car and was informed that they were working on it. After waiting another 2 hours I again inquired as to why it was taking this long to replace a battery. I was informed that the 1st battery placed was not powerful enough and a second battery had to be installed. The car had to be reprogrammed and therefore was informed that the car had to be left overnight for reprogramming. I was provided with a car. Around 10am of the second day I called to inquire as to the status of my car and was informed that the new battery and the car's computer were not communicating therefore the car was not accepting the battery. I was informed that I would receive a call when the car was ready. Around 4pm my wife called and spoke with Christopher Blanco who explained what they were experiencing and that although this was not a common problem, it was something they were familiar with. This alleviated her fears. The 3rd morning I called and was informed that they had contacted BMW head office and was informed that it was a software gliche and the car would be fixed as soon as they received the software. After 3:30pm I received a call that the car was ready. This was a frustrating and fearful experience, not knowing what the outcome would be. I would recommend that the service advisor keep the customer abreast of what is happening with their car by calling ever so often and informing them of the car's status. Other than this observation, the employees were professional and the service remarkable. My car is now with me and operating well. More

I have just picked up my 5th BMW and have just ordered my 6th BMW from Rallye. The only reason I would recommend Rallye is my loyalty to George Javier who I have dealt with for years. As far as my last few 6th BMW from Rallye. The only reason I would recommend Rallye is my loyalty to George Javier who I have dealt with for years. As far as my last few visits for service goes the experience was less then what I had come to expect from Rallye in the past. Now I am not writing this to bash anyone as I am leaving the names out but I have had my 2008 X5 in the service department 3 to 4 times over the past 8 months or so for the basic same reason, noise in the front end. The first trip they changed a wheel bearing. This naturally did not fix the issue. Second trip they changed the wheel bearing on the other side of the car. Still did not fix the issue. Now this past visit the service rep comes out and says that I need tires and an alignment. The rep (Who I know is the highest grossing for the service department) was nice enough but who is he to determine what is wrong with the car? I also requested to have the rear wiper blade changed at the time and was given a bit of a hard time. I ended up getting my car back with the wiper blades replaced and told that they removed debris from the front end which was causing the noise. Naturally to my disappointment the problem still exists and leaves me totally frustrated. I feel as if the problem was addressed properly from the beginning I would not be in need for front tires or an alignment. This X5 has 24,600 miles on it there should be no reason for either. It also leaves me to believe that there are certain reps in the service department that are either trying to bang you over the head with charges or they have their hand out looking for something as if they are doing you a favor. I am just extremely disappointed and will more then likely forward this directly to BMW as I feel they should know about my experinces and how this was never made right and is just trying to be covered up with notes after the fact.
