I was initially told that the needed repairs would take approximately 3-3½ hours, Fernando told me more like 5:00pm. When that time had expired I inquired of the progress. The person I talked to told me that "they were pretty busy today and usually recall work was pushed back to better accommodate regular customers". I voiced my disappointment. An hour or so later they told me my car was done. I ended up buying a previously owned 2013 328i the next day and all went well until the next day when I was at the dealership with my wife to finish signing the sale agreement. I tried to manually open the trunk and found that this part of the car was broken. I was told that seeing as the interior unlock, the key fob and the under trunk sensor unlock all worked,that the manual unlock latch would NOT be addressed. Needless to say, I was disappointed with that. Susan Gatlin was professional and helpful in the buying process of the car.Tammy Saylor was also friendly and professional in handling the finance part of the deal. I have to add that I feel the price given for my 2009 was pretty low. $ 2000 did not seem fair. You certainly aren't selling a car like that for anything less than $5 K. It was kept in very good condition and mechanically nothing was wrong with it. Other than a good polishing it needed nothing. Overall I feel I am satisfied with the car I purchased. More

Jessica Caycedo was extremely helpful. I showed up without an appointment because my “service engine soon” light came on. I was very anxious because I was moving to N was extremely helpful.

Jessica resolved the problem (a leaky fuel pump) and had me on my way that afternoon. Thanks Jessica. More

Unscheduled evaluation of inoperative emergency doorlock. Without an appointment, I was given immediate attention to evaluate the emergency nonoperative door lock on the driver's side door. Immediate attenti Without an appointment, I was given immediate attention to evaluate the emergency nonoperative door lock on the driver's side door. Immediate attention was given to the issue and the cause was discovered. Unfortunately, a new lock mechanism was required to fix the problem. This was ordered from BMW specific for the VIN# of my car. I was informed that the part will take approximately 1 week to be produced, coded and be delivered to the dealer by BMW. I was assured that, upon receipt of the part, I will be notified to return for the replacement to be installed. I only intended to make an appointment and did not expect this issue to be evaluated, let alone, have the evaluation done while I waited. I never expected such courtesy and concerns for my problem. I look forward to returning for installation of the new lock mechanism to resolve this issue. I am a 1st time customer having just brought my BMW to Sarasota from NJ permanently. This care will certainly motivate me to a future dedicated customer. More

He was very professional and and efficient. He gave me a car to drive home until the repairs were complete (2 days). This dealership is very accommodating. I have always had prompt service with Carlos I would not be happy working with anyone else. Sincerely, Robert and Pat Rothman More
