Lacking, absentminded, inconsiderate, deaf, ignorant, unknowledgeable, unprofessional, self-serving, delayed, and pretty xxxxx oblivious to their own mistakes; are the words that I would use to truly des unknowledgeable, unprofessional, self-serving, delayed, and pretty xxxxx oblivious to their own mistakes; are the words that I would use to truly describe a majority of the Service Center Staff and the upper management are not far off from them as well. Do not trust a single word that comes out of their mouth because fallow through or even a fair attempt at making things right is not what they do best or even remotely try at doing at all. You may get a call and a very well worded email, but as for all the pointless "words" that are sent...might as well pay a brick wall to be your therapist because you'll actually get something in return. Avoid at all costs in my opinion. Avoid paying for a vehicle-that most had to wait on a waiting list for almost a year, to then have you referred to a auto body repair shop that was not only NOT certified and now seeing that they were not equipped to handle a luxury vehicle, but will flat out lie to you and tell you that your car is "good to go" only to have it shipped and find out that the xxxx door won't shut and now might have to have it totaled out because their referral, BMW or San Francisco's referral show's how inept their service tech are, and to only have the upper management defend that referral by saying - "AW Collision Center is one of the few body shops we trust and refer work to. They are more than capable, and we have never had any trouble with them." Not only are they not certified to handle BMW's after a collision, they specialize in Japanese. NOT EUROPEAN! I walked a few blocks from the actual dealership itself to get a better referral from one of the homeless crack dealers, because at this point...I would have been better off. Save yourself the time and effort. Go to any other, but I mean ANY OTHER, BMW dealership because they will not only rip you off the will not provide or deliver and shirk their work onto you to deal with it yourself. The have a hard time listening and accepting fault and do not like to respond to much and expect BMW North America to make their issues go away. DO YOU HEAR ME NOW, CHRISTIAN MARMALEJO?!!! More
SF Service Center - Chris wanted to charge $1100 for a routine inspection and claimed I had to replace recalled parts. He also conveyed they would not turn off the oil change, brake fluid, and tire pressu routine inspection and claimed I had to replace recalled parts. He also conveyed they would not turn off the oil change, brake fluid, and tire pressure lights even though I had proof of all that being done at the local valvoline. I had received ongoing BMW notifications since I purchased from a Dealer and had received a letter that there is a recall but it did not apply to my specific VIN. FT Lauderdale BMW - is where I purchased and they were awesome, reasonable, not trying to price gauge you on every thing. They even sent me $100 email on this routine maintenance that SF wanted to charge $1100 plus the recall on a major part I don't need - several thousand dollars beware - my BMW coupe 430 has 12k miles on it and purrs, it does not need several thousand dollars of work after being certified a few years ago when I purchased at 7k miles the service quoting guy was European and very rude in all his communication More
I had questions and concerns with my vehicle but I felt disregarded after the purchase of the vehicle. The sales staff were too busy to address my concerns despite phone calls until 5 days after my purchas disregarded after the purchase of the vehicle. The sales staff were too busy to address my concerns despite phone calls until 5 days after my purchase which went unresolved. I would have expected better customer service with a phone call the next day to ask about my experience and address any questions or concerns that may have came up. I did not like my experience with BMW of San Francisco and regret my purchase with them. More
What a disaster of a business transaction . .. I have bought 5 BMW's (all through Sonnen Marin) and this, the 6th, was a simple deal I decided to give to the local dealer - trade-in my kids Priu .. I have bought 5 BMW's (all through Sonnen Marin) and this, the 6th, was a simple deal I decided to give to the local dealer - trade-in my kids Prius, drive away in a back from lease 430i. BMW of San Francisco has been the worst time suck of my life in 2023. They "filed' the DMV transfer of ownership for the Prius in February 2023 and here on July 31st I am still receiving parking and driving violation notices from 4 separate jurisdictions.in northern California and DMV has no record of transfer of ownership though I have called and spoke to 3 separate individuals at BMW of San Francisco about the situation. Promises of 'I will follow-up' all day long but no action and particularly no change to the weekly 1-1.5 hrs it is taking me to send (multiple times) copies of the paperwork BMW gave me indicating transfer of responsibility. Such a simple part of the car purchasing process and these guys not only screw it up, they can't unravel the mess they have created. Stay AWAY from this dealer, not worth the effort to try and support businesses in San Francisco - they just don't care. Certainly will not gamble on ANY service from this dealership, would rather drive north, south or east an hour then engage this business. More

Wife and I went in looking for a certified X3, ended up in a new X1 thanks to Rod. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us throughout the entire process, went over the numbers, and gave us time in a new X1 thanks to Rod. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us throughout the entire process, went over the numbers, and gave us time to make a final decision without being pushy. 100% more knowledgeable about leasing a vehicle now than I was before. Hopefully Rod and I can make a deal on another new BMW soon. More

They couldn’t locate the car o went there to purchase and asked if there was a different car that I wanted. The car was at the dealership the whole time I filled out all of my financial paper work before arr asked if there was a different car that I wanted. The car was at the dealership the whole time I filled out all of my financial paper work before arriving thinking it would save some time I also knew exactly which car I wanted. In spite of being totally prepared to purchase a car we were at the dealership for four hours!! There was a tail light out so I couldn’t take my car home that same day. The service department did not call me to tell me my car was ready. I had to call them to find out they it had been sitting there waiting for me. I love my car but the whole experience to get it was a nightmare and I will not recommend BMW of SF to anyone. More
