Ask for Charlie Scott - New BMW Purchase We came in ready to purchase a car from BMW of Scottsdale, and had an issue there, right before signing, (issue was brought about by a different sales We came in ready to purchase a car from BMW of Scottsdale, and had an issue there, right before signing, (issue was brought about by a different salesperson and had nothing to do with numbers). We walked out and decided to give the dealership another try the next day, but with a different salesperson. The next day we returned to the dealer, and switched salespersons and started working with Charlie Scott. If I could pair an excellent supportive salesperson with an excellent car, it would be Charlie and the BMW 5 series. Charlie was effortless to work with - very professional - the caliber you expect when you are about to purchase a car for $55K. We worked out some great numbers with Charlie, and told him we would think about it - the dealership was already closed and we were exhausted from the weekend spent trying to buy a car. That night as we were heading home, we stopped by one more place just for a quick look and made a purchase from another dealer. This was not Charlie's fault - they just happened to have the exact car we wanted, without having to wait on it coming in. However, because we would have signed with Charlie anyways, we did want to put this review out here. We had been in the buying process for 2 months and overall it was not enjoyable at some places. We do feel that much of this is a direct reflection of the experience you have with the salesperson. I like having a partner in the process - not someone who argues with me, gives me vague information or refuses to handle a simple request prior to signing. Charlie is everything you expect in a salesperson: helpful, knowledgeable, agreeable, customer-focused, willing to make sure you are in the right car, solution-oriented. He has many awards displayed behind him at his desk and I can see why - he's in a league all his own, as reflected by his Silver standing award - which only the best of the best earn these. They earn this through hard work, customer service, great ideas, strong partnerships as well as sales. If you have just started your search, I recommend Charlie Scott. More

Poor service Very poor customer service. Once we had an agreement with the sales person, the manager intervened and required us to pay significantly more, and that Very poor customer service. Once we had an agreement with the sales person, the manager intervened and required us to pay significantly more, and that we had to sign a legal document guaranteeing we would not drive the car outside the US. Would not recommend this dealership to anyone. More

Average customer service, sky high prices, worse than any other dealership in AZ. Sales department feels like you need them more than they care about helping you out. Service people seem to be more in tune w other dealership in AZ. Sales department feels like you need them more than they care about helping you out.

I have previously purchased 5 BMW's from this Penske BMW dealership & 2 Porsche's from the Penske Porsche Dealership next door and have been extremely pleased. Personnel has changed since my last purcha BMW dealership & 2 Porsche's from the Penske Porsche Dealership next door and have been extremely pleased. Personnel has changed since my last purchase and I have recently been in communicaton with the dealership and interested in purchasing a BMW Courtesy Loaner Vehicle that is offered for sale. When I was at the dealership last week the vehicle was out, however I was advised that when it returns they will hold it from the loaner pool and call me to see and test drive the vehicle. (Incidently, I inquired about this same vehicle 6 months ago and it was not available as it was out on loan, I ended up purchasing a Mercedes from Schumacher.) I was contacted today and advised that they would not make the vehicle available to see or drive until we agree on a price and make a deal. "Make an offer on the used car behind curtain #1", are you kidding me? I find this a very unprofessional and not at all what you would expect from a Penske dealership. The personality and management style of this BMW dealership has changed and apparently customer loyality and customer service is not important to them any longer........next. More

My sister and I visited the dealership today and we were completely ignored by the sales staff. One salesman just stood there staring at us and the other was busy talking on a cellphone. They have limited completely ignored by the sales staff. One salesman just stood there staring at us and the other was busy talking on a cellphone. They have limited inventory in the front so we couldn't find the model we were interested in test driving by ourselves. We decided to leave and to pursue test driving a new BMW at another dealership. I don't know whether it is because we were two ladies or that we didn't look like we were there to look seriously. We had visited a Chrysler dealership and a MINI dealership earlier in the day and we were treated much better. More

I made an appointment with a specific service advisor to have my M looked at. When I arrived on time for my appointment I told the porter, I had an appointment with Eric Rasen. The porter took my key and no have my M looked at. When I arrived on time for my appointment I told the porter, I had an appointment with Eric Rasen. The porter took my key and notified Eric that I was there. Apparently, Eric was too busy drinking his morning coffee and scarfing down a donut to assist me. Does he not realize the service department has glass windows and I can see directly into his office? I was assigned to another service advisor who could care less about client service or trying to remedy the issue with my vehicle. As I was explaining to him my concerns he wasn't paying attention nor was he interested in hearing what I had to say. He was clearly unknowledgeable about M performance parts, and didn't offer any answers to my questions. When I went to pick up my loaner I received a base model 328i, which is perfectly acceptable however I specifically asked for a model with Navigation. The receptionist at the loaner desk said none of their loaner cars are equipped with navigation. This was simply untrue as there were 2 other loaner vehicles that had iDrive. Believe all the negative reviews on their service department and stay away if you can. It's a shame that dealerships are franchises and not always up to BMW standards. More

We went to BMW North Scottsdale while trying to find a 2010 Lexus RX350 for my fiancée after trying numerous other dealerships and couldn't have been happier to have walked through the door to meet Peter 2010 Lexus RX350 for my fiancée after trying numerous other dealerships and couldn't have been happier to have walked through the door to meet Peter Cramer. Peter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about their entire inventory. After talking with Peter and leaving the dealership to grab lunch, my fiancée looked at me and said, "Wow that was the first experience I had while car shopping that I actually enjoyed". After lunch we looked around at a few more local dealers (some better than others), but we felt we had the best shot at getting what we wanted for the price we were looking for by going back and talking with Peter. When we arrived back, Peter was busy with another customer and referred us to John Sarno, who we continued to work with on the vehicle we really wanted. John was able to pick up right where Peter left off and got the deal done without being pushy or annoying (as some other dealer’s salespeople were) and he took what we said we wanted and made it happen. John was upfront, honest and entertaining as well. We left the dealership with no buyers remorse and completely confident that we received the best deal were could have gotten on the vehicle. We also felt the piece of mind that if something were to go wrong with the vehicle, that they would make it right (so far the car has been perfect). On another subject, the car’s BMW North Scottsdale had on their lot were spotless which was a nice change from the many other dealerships that showed us cars with dirty interiors and said things like "oh that can be cleaned out". Well if it could have been cleaned out, it should have been, and BMW NS did that before letting us see the cars so we didn't have to be concerned about what the condition of the car "could be". Needless to say, we plan to return to BMW NS as out first stop next time we're in the market for another vehicle even though we live 45 minutes away and there are plenty of other dealerships on the way. Thanks to John Sarno, Peter Cramer and also Brian Peters for making our experience extremely pleasant and satisfying. More
