BMW of Birmingham

A quick back story synopsis - While I presently live in my home state of Maine, I lived in B'hm for 16 years. This dealership kept my 1978 320i in true" fun to drive" form. I just retired. A new 328xi Sport Wagon was to be my retirement present to myself. I wanted to take delivery at the BMW Performance School in SC. That being the case I figured I could buy the car from any dealer. My first thought was to contact Tom Williams because of my past relationship with them and how they have treated many of my friends over the years. I was lucky enough to have Niyse Burton as my client advisor. She and I did the entire deal via email. She quickly answered any question I had. She was knowledgable, personable and never pressured me in any way to buy a car. She sold me a car by never trying to sell me one. All paperwork was exchanged using scans and email attachments. Only the final part, the part where I turned over a check, had to be done using originals and FedEx made it an overnight event. Ms. Burton handled all the arrangements for me to take delivery at the Performance School. All I had to do was get a flight to Greenville, SC. The Performance School experience is SO MUCH FUN! You will leave there not only with your new car, but with a huge grin on your face. Certainly mine was an experience made possible by electronics and the Internet. It was the people, however, that made it effortless. To a person everyone at Tom Williams and everyone at the Performance School couldn't have been nicer. So, let me highly recommend that you take delivery of your new BMW at the Performance School. And, if choose to do so, buy the vehicle from Tom Williams regardless where you live. The price was a good deal. Your experience will be easy and problem free. You will leave Greenville, SC with a new respect for the abilities of your car. As you drive home you will realize that you are still grinning. I still am. More

I purchased a GMC Sierra 2500HD from Tom Williams sight unseen. I spent a lot of time researching and found that Tom Williams had the best price on the truck that I was in the market to purchase. I spoke w unseen. I spent a lot of time researching and found that Tom Williams had the best price on the truck that I was in the market to purchase. I spoke with James Corlew and John McLarty several times about the truck and they ran several tests on the truck to ensure that it was not in any mechanical disrepair. The truck was delivered to me in Georgia and I could not have been happier with my purchase. I also purchased an extended warranty through Tom Williams and Lily Young did a great job making sure that all of the paperwork and registration were taken care of for me. The level of patience, integrity and service that I received from James and his staff far exceeded any experience that I have had with any other dealer. I will definitely be doing business with James and his team at Tom Williams again! More

Other johndoe9033 back Great dealership highly recommend If you run a car dealership or in some other way make your living buying and refurbishing motor vehicles, you will need motor car trade insurance. It is absolutely necessary for those in the motor trade industry. This specific kind of insurance will protect your assets if you get adequate coverage. The first thing to think about when you research motor car insurance are your finances, and then if you will need only a basic policy or one that is comprehensive. Think about more than just how much it will cost you, think about protecting your business assets if something happens. chon mot hang ten xe nhu Madza http://www.dealerrater.com/dealer/Hiley-Mazda-of-Huntsville-review-28698/ write a review As a business owner, you want to save as much as possible on overhead costs, but you should avoid skimping on motor trade insurance.

I paid $25,000 ($5,000 down, $20,000 financed) for a vehicle (VIN number and other paperwork is enclosed) that your salesman assured me had been driven only 2000 miles. However, when I took it to my mechanic he discovered that the odometer had been "rolled back" and the true mileage was closer to 20,000. Regardless of how this occurred, your dealership should be held accountable for the repercussions of this misstatement, and you will notice that I have sent copies of this letter to the state Office of Consumer Affairs and the Attorney General's Office as well as the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Automobile Dealers Association. I no longer want the car. Please immediately refund the $5,000 I paid for the car, plus the $90 I paid my mechanic, within two weeks. I will return the car at that time. More

Recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle from Tom Williams BMW. The factory warranty had expired, so I purchased a power train warranty for peace of mind. After driving the car the first day I noticed the rea BMW. The factory warranty had expired, so I purchased a power train warranty for peace of mind. After driving the car the first day I noticed the rear end didn't feel stable, the door locks and hazard lights didn't work and brakes were squealing really loud. I immediately notified the dealership of the problems I was having with the car. They told me it would be a week later before they could get the car in to look at the car. The very next day the transmission malfunctioned (warning light came on) and I was told by one service advisor not to worry but to continue driving the car. Another service advisor recommended I bring the car in. Had the car less than a week and they kept the car for five days only to tell me that the transmission was okay, rear bushings (trailing arm)were worn out, central locking unit inoperable,and that the warranty would not cover these parts and the dealership takes no responsibility. This is the second car I have purchased from this dealership within six months and will never do business with them again. Should have had a pre-purchase inspection done. My fault and my loss. Hope this will not happen to anyone else. More

Let me start out by saying that my initial contact with this dealership and its employees (our salesman being Zac) was excellent in all areas. We were not disappointed until a week after our BMW was purcha this dealership and its employees (our salesman being Zac) was excellent in all areas. We were not disappointed until a week after our BMW was purchased when we had to bring the car in for a rear tail-light repair. It started off by an hour long negotiation with the dealership about my concerns of water leaking through the tail-light and into the electronic trunk latch. Finally I was able to get the car in the same day rather than a week later. Tom Williams BMW was generous and gave me a loaner car in the meantime. The next day I was called and told my car was ready to be picked up. Upon driving into the dealership, I saw my red 128i BMW sitting there. I thoroughly inspected my whole vehicle and the first thing I noticed was there was 2 scratches on the front bumper that were not there before. After pointing this out to Zac, we drove around to the paint guy and he said it would have to go into the body shop. Zac had to get a manager to approve this. This is when the sales manager was extremely rude and basically denied that the incident occurred at the dealership. I was really disappointed with his attitude and his professionalism with customers. I will say that Zac stepped up to the plate and mediated the situation. I really think if you strive to have a great company, then you need to hire great people to get you there. You're only as good as your weakest link. Prior to this experience, I would highly recommend Tom Williams BMW, but now I second guess referring someone and risking them being talked down to as I was. I work in the auto industry myself and always keep in mind respecting my customers, right or wrong. It is the customers that guarantee the success of your business. More

I recently purchased a used 2007 335i. As most people, I'm very skeptical of car salesmen (salemen in general). Well let's be honest... I don't trust them. However... Karreem Battles went out of hi I'm very skeptical of car salesmen (salemen in general). Well let's be honest... I don't trust them. However... Karreem Battles went out of his way to make the experience wonderful. It was a Christmas gift to myself and my first BMW. He literally had me in tears (in a good way and I'm not a crier). He took his time to explain everything pertaining to the car and made sure it was what I wanted before proceeding. I did not feel pressured or taken advantage of. I would recommend anyone looking to purchase a BMW to contact Karreem. After my purchase, I had a few minor issues with the car (non mechnical). James Corlew (GM) was hands on and made sure my problems were resolved. He returned all calls and responded to my emails promptly. It does not get better than that. More

I purchased a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) 2008 BMW 328I Sedan in August of 2010 and everything was fine until I was lied to about the maintenance warranty. The Finance Manager lied to me about the mainte Sedan in August of 2010 and everything was fine until I was lied to about the maintenance warranty. The Finance Manager lied to me about the maintenance warranty return policy; if you purchase this warranty it is not really a warranty it is a service contract and remains with the vehicle. This means that if you trade-in your car, upgrade to another vehicle or just sell it, the warranty cannot be refunded back to you. The warranty stays with vehicle, which means the new owner takes possession of the "service contract." This is a load of crap..... I decided to trade my car in because of the premium gas it used. I lived too far from work to drive the car everyday using premium gas. When I contact Tom Williams about canceling my warranties and getting a refund, I was told the maintenance warranty is non refundable unless the car is totaled out. The warranty cost over $2,000.00 and was less than 30 days old and they didn't want to refund my money. I will never purchase another vehicle from them nor will I recommmend this dealership to anyone. I will tell this - NEVER buy any of the warranties from this dealership. A good rule of thumb is to wait until your basic warranty expires and then contact other warranty companies to purchase a warranty. You'll be surprise what you can save. Also, if you do buy a used BMW, buy the CPO becuase the warranty is better than the warranty on a brand new one...trust me. A New warranty is 4 yrs/50,000 miles whichever comes first. The warranty on a CPO is 6 yrs/100,000 miles whichever comes first. One last thing, please obtain a Blue and Black Book value of the automobile you interesed in purchasing because if you don't, you could end up like me....upside down in your car when you go and trade it in. Don't be afraid to negotiate a deal...if they really want to sell it, they will work with you...trust me!!! More
