BMW of Camarillo

I leased my second new 5 series recently from Steve Thomas BMW. I went to them this time around because the price was simply the lowest and they found the exact car I wanted. However, when I went to p Thomas BMW. I went to them this time around because the price was simply the lowest and they found the exact car I wanted. However, when I went to pick up my new car, I was even more impressed with the service and the way I was treated. Ryan Amico was professional, knowledgeable, fast, thorough, and overall just great to work with. I was out of the dealership in no time. The process at Steve Thomas was hassle-free. We have all had our nightmare car purchasing experiences, and this was as far from that as possible. The finance dept. was just as great. Jim Martinez got the paperwork done really quickly, and didn't even try to sell me a single gimmick or extra package/service. We all know how annoying the finance dept. can be at a dealership - but Jim was excellent and very professional. I highly recommend you contact Ryan at Steve Thomas BMW when considering getting your next vehicle - you will not be disappointed. More

This was my first experience buying a BMW. I inquired about a 330i on their website and received a response immediately from Ryan Amico, their Internet Sales Manager. I stopped by the dealership that ev about a 330i on their website and received a response immediately from Ryan Amico, their Internet Sales Manager. I stopped by the dealership that evening and met with Ryan. From the start, I felt like I had know him for years. He had already had the car brought up to side of the show room and ready for me to look at and test drive. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the vehicle and shared his own personal experiences with his vehicles. Throughout the whole process, he made me feel comfortable about the decision to purchase the vehicle. I wasn't able to get the car that evening and returned the next day with my parents. He went over the entire car again for their benefit. My parents were impressed with him as well. I never felt pressured by him in any way. He truly cared about my needs and concerns. I have bought multiple cars before and have never received the treatment I did at Steve Thomas. Every employee I met was very friendly, courteous and professional from the sales staff, financing and service staff. The day after purchasing the car, I received an email from Ryan wanting to know if everything was ok with the car. I had never received a follow up email or call from any other dealership before so I was very surprised by his. A few days later, I stopped by the dealership again to pick up an owner's manual. I told him that I hadn't been able to synch my Blackberry with the Bluetooth. He personally walked me right over to a service consultant and had the phone connected within seconds. I know that when I am ready to purchase another BMW, I will be heading to Steve Thomas and would recommend Ryan to anyone I know who is looking for a BMW. Shane I. Oxnard, CA More

Steve Thomas BMW's sales manager, Ryan Amico, made shopping for a car enjoyable. As the customer, we felt that he was on our side and wanted to make us happy and with a good price.

We have been in the "market" for a new BMW for about a year now. In that time we have harrassed/terrorized the sales people over at Steve Thomas BMW when we would get the "ich" to take a test drive. R year now. In that time we have harrassed/terrorized the sales people over at Steve Thomas BMW when we would get the "ich" to take a test drive. Ryan Amico has always been willing to let us harass him. He is the reason we went back to Steve Thomas when we did purchase our new Z4 last week. Ryan went out of his way to make sure all the "numbers" worked for us. He NEVER made us feel pressured to make a decision and was always willing to take us out on test drives of the new models on the lot. We would HIGHLY recommend (and already have to several friends) Ryan Amico to anyone in the market for a new car. He is one of few sales people who actualy LISTEN to what their prospective clients are saying. We cannot say enough good things about Ryan and our experiance with Steve Thomas BMW. Thank you Ryan!

Chris Knutson made my Internet transaction to buy a 2007 BMW Certified Preowned a pleasant experience. His obvious knowledge of the car, negotiations , finance and shipping made me comfortable wiring a larg BMW Certified Preowned a pleasant experience. His obvious knowledge of the car, negotiations , finance and shipping made me comfortable wiring a large sum of money to someone I had never met in person. His response was quick and accurate. He earned the sale from the other side of the country using modern communication techniques and the deal was done before local sellers had a chance to respond to my inquiries. I would recomend Chris and the Steve Thomas BMW dealership to anyone who is serious about making a luxury BMW purchase. Tony Przasnyski, Collegeville Pa. More

I was in the market for a 135i and had already talk to several dealers. Although everyone was very friendly and some very helpful, they were not talking back... I did my homework and I new the rates, mone several dealers. Although everyone was very friendly and some very helpful, they were not talking back... I did my homework and I new the rates, money factor, residuals and no matter what, the numbers I was getting were always higher than I knew it should be. That's when I saw sammie's review and I decided to give Steve Thomas a try. I show them my numbers and they call me right away with their numbers. Chris went through the numbers explaining some differences (some were higher, and some lower). One example was that I used the wrong money factor and he pointed out the actual number was lower... (I used the 2010 rate instead of the 2009). That's how strait forward the talk went. I just went there during my lunch break and got the car. I cannot stress more how easy and smooth the whole process was. Highly recommended. More

I had sent out a e-mail to all the dealers that I was looking to buy or lease a car via the net. I sent about 25 dealers this e-mail. I had driven the car at my local dealer, but when we started to work looking to buy or lease a car via the net. I sent about 25 dealers this e-mail. I had driven the car at my local dealer, but when we started to work the numbers I kept catching the CA at higher Bank deposit or different Money factors or Residual Values. I had learned a ton of stuff from Bimmerfest.com so I new better. I was on the phone with SBBMW and had a question about the Money Factor to my CA. He made me feel like he was mad at me for even asking the question. I just wanted to understand. We hung up and Ryan at that moment called. I thought I am just going to lay it all out, know more cat and mouse game. Tell him what I new about the Z4 30i and what I wanted to pay. I want the deal. Got the deal then we worked on payment. Got the payment I wanted. Now already had financing, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy the first year of this kind of Z4 it already had one recall for wiring. I decided to lease. Did all of this in my front living-room in about 2 1/2 hours. I would ask a question he would call me right back, quotes via the net. I ended up with wholesale for the car. The car had three single options on it. I am paying the 499.00 month for 30 10k. I don't drive a lot so that fine with me. I was beginning to think when do I get to the fun part about buying a car. Ryan made it fun. He is the internet guy. There are two Ryan's at STBMW so say his last name. 5 weeks of learning every thing I could about this car payed off. Yes I said Wholesale, not invoice AKA base price or MSRP Wholesale. Bimmerfest post those prices, but your local BMW like South Bay just gave them to me. SBBMW I went in there three time's, felt like you should be lucky to be in my dealership. Ryan changed all that. I felt like I should. No pressure, making sure I was getting what I wanted to get. Making sure I was in my comfort zone and answered all my questions honestly. I know because I tried to bate him. Sorry Ryan if you read this LOL They are going to deliver my car to me and I will sign those paper at my home. I would 100% recommend Ryan Amico the internet guy to sell you a BMW. I am a women of 55 years and it is harder on us. I will always buy from Mr. Ryan Amico. I say buy because the next one will be. TY again Ryan can't wait for the car to be here. I just made the deal today. God I am glad that is over for now LOL The next time will be a walk in park. The next one will be Okay Ryan its time to buy how much LOL thats it.. Why can't every thing be this easy. More

It is so funny to read the reviews in this forum. I took my car their for service and also had to wait for close to a month to get my car back. The staff there was at best unplugged. My guess is they are my car their for service and also had to wait for close to a month to get my car back. The staff there was at best unplugged. My guess is they are either retarded or exceptionally stoned. The work being done on my vehicle was simple repair work after one of the 'certified pre owned bmw tow truck drivers' dropped my car. BMW North America agreed to pay for the repairs, after many tense phone calls. Steve Thomas was not able to comprehend this most simple aspect of being reimbursed by the company that provided his livelyhood and became defensive to the point of getting in my face (good thing he did not pursue any further). Of course I got my car back in approximately four weeks: dirty, wheels out of alignment, and more than 100 miles on the odometer than what it was turned in with. I can only assume that there brain dead service people took it on a joy ride while they waited for BMW North America to reimburse. Not sure how this guy stays in business, but fortunately there are several other BMW dealerships in the area that provdie a much higher quality product and level of service. More
