I asked if I could get a loaner and they said “no”, it would only take a couple of hours ( I am use to a loaner from My Mercedes dealership down the street). I showed up for my Appt. And was immediately told that there was a “recall “ on my vehicle and they would have to download all updated software on the vehicle computer which could take up to 4-5 hours (assuming that it works). They then offered a loan ( downgraded to a Nissan Sentra- big difference from BMW). They could have called me in advance and told me about the recall, but I guess they don’t do that? When I picked up my vehicle, i noticed that all my vehicle setting had been erased ....seat memory, cellphone settings, radio stations, etc.... I had to track down a person to assist in reconnect at least the phone, which thy did. It would have been more proactive to have the service rep. advise me in advance . Not the best communication, on many different fronts, from this BMW dealership. More

When I arrived for my appointment, the service a When I scheduled the appointment, I was told replacing the rear emblem would only take a few minutes. When I arrived for my appointment, the service adviser told me it was scheduled for 1 1/2 - 2 hours but she would try to get me out sooner. I waited 2 hours. I would have appreciated being told it would take up to 2 hours when I scheduled the appointment. I would have also appreciated the service adviser providing periodic updates while I was waiting. Part of providing stellar service is managing customers' expectations. More

Customer service Judy was exceptionally professional and considerate of my comfort and any possible needs that she could accommodate during my wait time. I appreciate Judy was exceptionally professional and considerate of my comfort and any possible needs that she could accommodate during my wait time. I appreciate her curtesy and constant communication. It’s always greatly appreciated when feedback on the status of the service is offered at regular intervals. Judy was especially considerate of evaluating time and repair costs prior to ‘asking permission’ to continue with the repairs. Her due diligence is an asset to your service department. More
