I am a 50 Y/O man and have bought a number of new and used cars over my years. I have never been treated in a more courteous, kind and most importantly to me honest way while making a car purchase. I bou used cars over my years. I have never been treated in a more courteous, kind and most importantly to me honest way while making a car purchase. I bought a 2007 BMW Z4 3.0 si for my wife for her 25th anniversary, granted it was used but I could not have been treated better if I had bought a her a new 80K BMW verses the 30K I spent. From the greeting by the owner of the dealership (a first for me) to the sales rep. Ryan Amico who is an absolute GEM... From the title clerk to the final paper work signing we were treated with kindness, understanding and appreciation. a truly amazing experience. The Steve Thomas experience was something to behold.

Ryan was a pleasure to work with and he made the transaction one that will go down in my auto purchase history as the absolute BEST experience I've ever had!! I purchased the car for my daughter transaction one that will go down in my auto purchase history as the absolute BEST experience I've ever had!! I purchased the car for my daughter who was with me at the time and he went way out of his way to ensure that we felt comfortable, confident about the car and completely satisfied with every detail of our purchase. He just has to be one of the last of the "good guys"!! Thanks to Ryan for a great car and a great experience. Kristie Pollock More
I can't really rate them on their repair work since we never made it that far. First of all they don't have loaners... they have a shuttle service. However that service only runs until 12:30, so if your never made it that far. First of all they don't have loaners... they have a shuttle service. However that service only runs until 12:30, so if your car is ready after that time you have to find your way back to the dealership. After being told that I decided to just wait there. Unlike every other BMW dealership I've been to, Steve Thomas doesn't have a proper waiting area. They just shoved a couch and chair in the gift shop amid the BMW shirts and mugs. Not even a desk or phone to use. The final straw was when I was told they didn't have WiFi. This is a BMW dealership in 2010?? Totally unacceptable. The only positive thing I can say is that the service writer, Travis, was very friendly. More
10 years, 3rd BMW and counting....Steve Thomas BMW continues to impress me with their professionalism and exceptional service. Ryan Amico (ramico@stevethomasbmw.com) is clearly passionate about BMW an continues to impress me with their professionalism and exceptional service. Ryan Amico (ramico@stevethomasbmw.com) is clearly passionate about BMW and truly believes in the product he sells. What is remarkable about Ryan is that he does not believe in the hard core sales approach. He is knowledgeable and genuine and was much more interested in listening to what I wanted in my new car vs. what he wanted to sell me. Ryan responded very quickly to my email and was more than willing to work around my busy schedule to set up a test drive and discuss options for purchasing my new car. Many dealerships treat women differently and assume that their husband is buying them a new BMW so they address the man in their conversation. I have experienced this many times in my life at other dealerships and always found it ridiculous when I clearly knew more about the cars then the salesmen did. Steve Thomas BMW has never done this and is the reason why I remain a loyal customer. It is one thing to have a positive experience when buying a new car but consistent service is another important thing to consider. Warren Matsui my Service Advisor has become someone I can always rely on and always goes above and beyond. He clearly cares about his customers and it shows. I cannot imagine buying a car anywhere else. More
Working with Ryan Amico at Steve Thomas BMW was a great experience. He did not pressure or push the sale, but was calm and explained all of the details regarding how much the car would be sold for, registr experience. He did not pressure or push the sale, but was calm and explained all of the details regarding how much the car would be sold for, registration, leasing options, etc. His attitude during the whole transaction was positive and encouraging. I first spotted my 2010 BMW 335i online at Steve Thomas's website. It is a lemans blue e90 6spd, one of the 335i on the market. I was expected a sort of snobby attitude because the car was so rare, and how would a 20 year old pay for such a car. No such attitudes were conveyed to me when I met with Ryan Amico. He instantly let us test drive the car and I fell in love. His demeanor inside the test drive was that of enthusiasm, which matched my already enthused attitude. I loved the car, but my father had his doubts (I am making car payments to him instead of leasing it by myself). Ryan answered all of his questions with accuracy and integrity. Ryan gave us the bottom line on the car straight up. It was an amazing deal and I was surprised how swiftly he went to the bottom line. My father and I decided to think about it for a week. We revisited Steve Thomas and test drove the car for a second time, which Ryan was pleased to conduct. We stared at the car for some time and decided to keep thinking as we drove to LA to pick up my refinished BBS wheels. On the way down my father and I discussed how professionally Ryan Amico had handled the situation. It was a gorgeous car and there was no way I could let it out of my sights or hands. We called Ryan Amico and said that it was a done deal; we would take it. He responded with pleasure and said that the car would be washed and detailed immediately. My experience with Steve Thomas BMW was that of great enthusiasm, joy, and professionalism. It was great to talk to a salesperson who had the same enthusiams for the brand and car as I did. I would highly recommend that if you are thinking of buying a BMW, choose Steve Thomas. They are professional, fair, honest, and kind. I don't plan on selling or changing my car for a very long time, but when I do, and if I choose to purchase another BMW, I will look no farther than Steve Thomas BMW. Thanks so much Ryan!

We purchased our 528i BMW from Ryan Amico at Steve Thomas BMW and all I can say is "WOW"! I knew the first time I spoke with Ryan over the phone he was the one I wanted to not only work with but buy from and BMW and all I can say is "WOW"! I knew the first time I spoke with Ryan over the phone he was the one I wanted to not only work with but buy from and refer customers too in the future. We felt like Ryan treated us more like family than just another sale. Ryan completly explained the car in detail and than emailed me more pictures. We drove down that same day and fell in love with the car. This was our first time at Steve Thomas BMW and you can bet it wont be our last. We did not take her or should I say the car home that day it needed a few minor fixes to make the car perfect. The following week Ryan and his brother drove up the coast about 2 hours to our home and delivered my car (what service)! Ryan again wanted to make sure that we were completly happy with our beautiful BMW and if we needed anything else? My husband and I told Ryan how extremely happy we are with him and how he went above what is expected when buying a car into what we feel is a lasting relationship and friendship too. There is something different about driving a BMW, not only are they a beautiful automobile, family friendly, fun and fast but I would have to say extremely "SEXY" too!

I highly recommend anybody in the market for a BMW to go to Steve Thomas and ask for Ryan Amico. It was the best car buying experience I've ever had. Ryan treats you like family - no hard sell - he listen to Steve Thomas and ask for Ryan Amico. It was the best car buying experience I've ever had. Ryan treats you like family - no hard sell - he listens to what you want and delivers. I spoke to Ryan briefly on the phone telling him what I wanted and when I was planning on driving up to see him. My only intention that day was to test drive the car because this was the first time I was considering buying one. The experience was so great that I left that day with the car of my dreams - a great car at a great price!!! Everyone I dealt with at the dealership was great. Even the finance portion (filling out papers, etc.) went very smoothly thanks to Adam Feldman. I'm recommending all of my friends and family to go straight to Steve Thomas BMW and ask for Ryan Amico!!! Hollie Westlake Village, CA More
I recently purchased my second BMW from Ryan Amico @ Steve Thomas BMW in Camarillo and the entire process was swift, easy and hassle-free. Just out of curiosity, I emailed Ryan to see how my trade-in BM Steve Thomas BMW in Camarillo and the entire process was swift, easy and hassle-free. Just out of curiosity, I emailed Ryan to see how my trade-in BMW would translate into buying a newer vehicle. I really was not looking into buying another vehicle as I still had existing payments on my old one. It was a Thursday when I had emailed Ryan and he quickly responded back within 15-30 minutes. To me, that is huge when someone (as busy as Ryan is) responds so quickly to client emails. Online, we conversed back and forth with numbers, procedures and so forth. Ryan was very up front and he wanted to make sure I understood how my trade-in worked and how that would play out in the later months. The next day (Friday), I emailed Ryan to see if he had a slot open for me to come check out the vehicle and perhaps take a test drive. Again, he quickly replied back and we set up an appointment. Mind you - I was going to just see the car and I was not going to make any decisions that day. I loved the BMW I was already driving and I really didn't have a reason to look into another vehicle. After the test drive, we sat in his office and talked more about the vehicle, financing, and what everyone is normally concerned about...monthly payments. During the whole process, Ryan was honest, up front, and non-aggressive. Eventually, we were able to work out a deal where my new payments on the newer BMW just came out a little higher than what I was already paying with the older BMW. Steve Thomas BMW is lucky to have Ryan Amico as an Internet Sales Manager and I'm glad that I was able to work with him. If anyone is looking (or not looking, like I was) for a BMW, you need to talk to Ryan. It doesn't matter where you live because Ryan Amico will make it happen. He is not that stereotypical car sales guy and that's why I like about him. Send him an email at ramico@stevethomasbmw.com or give him a call at 805-482-8878. Thanks, Ryan! More
My family has purchased multiple BMWs from Steve Thomas, and when it came to purchasing my own I couldn't think of going anywhere else. I worked with a couple salesman that just did not seem to want my bus and when it came to purchasing my own I couldn't think of going anywhere else. I worked with a couple salesman that just did not seem to want my business and almost threw in the towel (this is why my overall experience is rated a 4/5). We made one final attempt, and finally spoke with Ryan Amico at Steve Thomas. Ryan was absolutely fantastic, and is the reason I would recommend this dealership to anyone else looking for a BMW at a great price, with great customer service. Ryan made the test drive, vehicle showing, and car purchase completely pleasant, and even fun. What's better is that Ryan was willing and able to negotiate car price, something the other salesman were not. Want a BMW? Give Steve Thomas a call and ask for Ryan. More
