BMW of Ridgefield

After enduring the worst possible ownership experience at a competing litchfield county dealer on my 5 series; we were prepared to quit the brand altogether. With some inquiries we decided to try bmw of ridg a competing litchfield county dealer on my 5 series; we were prepared to quit the brand altogether. With some inquiries we decided to try bmw of ridgefield. Upon arrival we were introduced to James Skarzenski,who with patience and product knowledge surpassing associates twice his age put us at ease, and found a solution to our needs. James exhibits a genuine desire to help clients find the perfect car as well as a passion for the brand. I also give him highest marks for communication and transparancy. Trading every three years or so will add up to many cars; and I hope James will be there for those sales. I cannot close without mentioning finance manager Azzi; who demonstrates extraordinary friendliness,professionalism and knowledge. I look forward to working with him many times as well. Kudos also to the owners for keeping the dealership clean, and organized in the midst of a major addition-renovation and for choosing skilled,talented individuals to represent you. More

Asking a customer to pay for $2500 car repair with cash or a certified bank check is unreasonable---particularly when we have made credit card payments all along. The car is only three years old and the c or a certified bank check is unreasonable---particularly when we have made credit card payments all along. The car is only three years old and the car is in the shop all the time because the engine light comes on consistantly--- with a recent failure of the turbo. The car has been serviced many many times due to the engine light coming on during the warranty period. I get a sense that the dealer waited for the warranty to expire so that this costly problem is funded by the customer. I recommend that BMW of Ridgefiled remove the sign that claims "a coffee maker is more costly to maintain". It is unfortunate that BMW corporate will not fix the turbo issue. BMW recalled these cars for the fuel injector pump issue but I imagine there are other customers who have or will have a similar turbo issue. If we had known that there will be a $5000 repair issue before 100,000 miles, we would not have purchased this car or we would have purchased an extended warranty---which would be less than this one repair project.

Working with James was fun and productive. I wasn't sure what I wanted and within 2 hours, we narrowed it down, after test driving 2 cars. He listened, and came back with relevant suggestions. I ended up what I wanted and within 2 hours, we narrowed it down, after test driving 2 cars. He listened, and came back with relevant suggestions. I ended up in a 2008 certified pre-owned with 15,000 miles on it, 328xi. I love the car. One thing to note that was slightly unsettling. James was up front that he would try to sell me a NEW car instead of pre-owned for the same price. He came back with a loaded 2011 328xi, and when he explained the financing option, after paying about 400 a month for 5 years, I would still owe $17,000 on the car. This was called "Select Financing" and I found it to be ridiculous. I could not believe that he was selling it with a straight face, but I guess that it works for some people - not me. I came on the hottest day of the year and they were having a barbecue sales event. I made it clear that I didn't want to wait on line, did not want to eat, but merely wanted to do the deal. They understood that and immediately introduced me to James who personally attended to me the entire time, even though he could have been part of the sales promotion. Nice job there. James was fantastic - highly recommend. More

He knows the cars inside and out, and works harder than anyone to ensure a great experience before and after he delivers the car. Other dealers play games and never remember you. When I walk into Ridgefield, I am treated like family. You've got to got to BMW Ridgefeld and ask for Bob Mahoney More

Prior to moving to the area, I had a bad experience with a dealer in Long Island. It would take a month or more to get a service appointment and my car was never ready when they said it would be. On my fi a dealer in Long Island. It would take a month or more to get a service appointment and my car was never ready when they said it would be. On my first service visit I told Steve that I loved my car, but so far hated my dealership experience. I believe my exact words were... "They sucked. I hated them. I don't want to hate you. I love my car, but I will change the make on my next purchase if this is not a good experience." They have not disappointed! Steve is the best service professional I have ever worked with. He's got great "car-side manner." He totally understands what is important to his clients and treats everyone like they are the most important one coming through the door. Earlier this month, we bought our third certified used vehicle from Kelly Grant. She is a fantastic sales professional and understands our needs. She listens to what we want and delivers exactly what will fill our criteria. I love my X5 (the second one we've gotten from them) and my husband loves his 528xi. I put 160K miles on my last car and had no maintenance complaints. My husband is thrilled. His last car was a new Subaru... or as I call them Suba-booooos... and was constantly in the shop. For the same money, he's got a reliable certified used vehicle that over delivers in style, luxury and performance. We are really happy. Can't wait to see the new building. More

I highly recommend Jack and BMW of Ridgefield for great service and a great deal. I ordered a new X5 from them at the end of 2010 and had the most pleasant buying experience I've had in 15 years of car sho service and a great deal. I ordered a new X5 from them at the end of 2010 and had the most pleasant buying experience I've had in 15 years of car shopping. It was the attention to little details, like having our license plates ready to go when we picked up the car, that made the difference here. Also, they didn't play games during price negotiations. Most BMW salespeople I've dealt with have such an unrealistic approach to pricing and are usually quite difficult to deal with. Jack, on the other hand, was quite straightforward, responsive to calls and emails, and a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely think of him first for our next car purchase. More
