Swindle a Customer with False Service I just had a recall completed. All was going smoothly until I was about to leave, and the "Service Consultant" stated that I have some needed service I just had a recall completed. All was going smoothly until I was about to leave, and the "Service Consultant" stated that I have some needed service due to oil leaks. 1) Replace valve cover gaskets (found oil leaking oil onto ex. manifold), $464.96. 2) Replace crankcase vent valve and hoses (crankcase vent valve and hose is leaking oil), $763.28. 3) Replace front lower control arm bushings\ (front lower bushings is coming apart), $599.96. 4) Replace rear differential side seals (both rear differential side seals are leaking oil), $504.96. Total = $2,526.15 All suggested services are typical routine preventive maintenance to be performed based on the mileage of the vehicle. What they didn’t know is that all suggested services were completed less than a year ago; there are no leaks, no codes, and I just had the intake smoked to check for leaks. Service Consultants are directed by management to make money for the dealership, by maintenance suggestions, or to push the customer towards the purchase of a new/newer vehicle. Well, at least they showed me how much money I saved, which made me smile. I was going to give them 5 stars for the recall service, but after the BS suggested service. They deserve 2 stars for trying to swindle a customer. Perhaps this was just the Service Consultant’s sole actions, but I know her actions are directed by management. More
Service representative, Kristina Williams, is obstinate. I own a BMW 135i which I purchased from BMW Silver Spring in April 2010. Notwithstanding the mechanical issues I have had with the car, Kristina Will I own a BMW 135i which I purchased from BMW Silver Spring in April 2010. Notwithstanding the mechanical issues I have had with the car, Kristina Williams, the service representative I have been assigned to is generally, rude, demeaning, and obstinate. Whenever, there is a point of discussion, it's always the customer's fault. I have personally been accused of driving improperly, not taking responsibility of my actions amongst other accusations, for example. I don't believe Kristina portrays BMW Silver Spring in a favorable light. What's unfortunate for the dealership is that I am in the market for a new car and was considering a 235i. If I buy one, it will not be from BMW Silver Spring. More

Excellent Management The BMW of Silver Spring has great salesman, service advisers, and, mechanics. However, we must not forget the Excellent Management of the dealershi The BMW of Silver Spring has great salesman, service advisers, and, mechanics. However, we must not forget the Excellent Management of the dealership. Mr. Michael Fastman is genuine and caring General Manager who knows customers by name and provides his assistance when ever he can. Mr. Fastman spotted me walking around the show room one Saturday, he greeted me, and asked if anything was wrong. I told him my vehicle was in the service shop for routine maintenance. We talked for a while and he made me feel comfortable while his staff prepared a loaner vehicle. Mr. Fastman really cares about his customers' well being. I appreciate this quality in him; and, I will continue to do business with the Silver Spring Dealership. Sincere Customer More

Work always done, loaner always ready and he is great at suggesting solutions that are not obvious. More
