Bill Jacobs BMW

I spent 30+ hours researching cars, decided on a 328 BMW and found one I liked here. Although I was still in research stage, I contacted this dealership, worked with a salesperson named Angel and focused on and found one I liked here. Although I was still in research stage, I contacted this dealership, worked with a salesperson named Angel and focused on one car in particular. I told the sales rep I wasn't quite ready to buy (I was to be on a week-long business trip and didn't want to make such an important purchase so quickly) but was very interested in a particular car. I suppose that language translated to this guy as "he's going to buy right now" because he called for three days straight. I ended up making an offer with full anticipation of negotiating only to be told how their pricing was so accurate and he could knock $200 off the price ($200 on a $30,000 car. awesome). I said no, and two days later, he texts me, yes, texts, to see if I'm still interested even though he knew I was in business meetings. When I expressed my discontent, he chastised me and told me the dealership was no longer interested in my business. I'm not sure where this guy worked before, but the last time I checked, a BMW is a premium, big-ticket purchase, and buyers are likely accustomed to a higher level of service and conscientiousness. Not only did I not receive such treatment, I was literally chastised as if he were a water salesman in the desert and how dare I question his pricing. If you're in the market for a BMW in the Chicagoland area, take your business to Perillo, for at least they know how to treat a BMW customer properly. More

Came to Bill Jacobs to trade in my old BMW (KBB value of $15.5-16.5K) and wanted to buy a new car or CPO. The offer from BJ was just about 11.5K which was a true insult and got the whole bunch of ludicrous $15.5-16.5K) and wanted to buy a new car or CPO. The offer from BJ was just about 11.5K which was a true insult and got the whole bunch of ludicrous excuses why the price for my car can not go up. After all it turned out that they simply lied to me about each and every detail why the price of my car should be 4k below KBB value. In two weeks I got my car traded-in at another dealership for another car for the KBB value without any issues. I can not recommend Bill Jacobs BMW unless you want to come there and have some coffee and wash your car/pump tires for free. They seemed too greedy and unprofessional. More

My wife & I have never been more embarrassed by the sheer lack of customer service we received on my visit to Bill Jacobs BMW. After driving in from St. Louis and recommended by a local family member sheer lack of customer service we received on my visit to Bill Jacobs BMW. After driving in from St. Louis and recommended by a local family member that bought a new x5 from salesman Nicholas Pandola earlier this year, we were completely disregarded for a quick sale to another customer. After being at the dealership for over 2 hours while the car we were looking at was being looked at in service, suddenly we were informed that another customer was wanting to buy the same car. Nicholas informed me that we needed to decide now if we wanted to move forward with a purchase and I told him let's talk. He handed me over to Fred Schuber, who started to take our trade-in information down. After about 20 minutes Fred returns with "I've got some bad news...the car has been sold...looks like all I have is this other silver one." When I asked "how exactly does this happen when Nick told us that we were priority over the waiting customer", and Fred responds "I can't control what the sales manager does". I don't even care about the car being sold to someone else. I'm not at all disappointed that I didn't leave with that particular vehicle. What I don't understand is the complete lack of customer service I received and how the matter was handled. Our original sales rep, Nicholas Pandola, disappeared after handing us over to Fred. We received no apologizes, no suggestions, no "lets do what we can to get you out of here in a vehicle". I was definitely open to other vehicle suggestions, but after the way my wife & I were treated, I felt as though I had no other choice but to leave. My visit to Bill Jacobs BMW was a complete embarrassment. I can understand how a sales rep might disregard a customer that wasn't going to spend $60,000, lives 400 miles away, and might not be a typical returning customer. But they also lost a local family members future business and any further recommendations. More

Had a great experience with Bill Earnest with my CPO X3. With some salespeople you can tell they don't know the car well, but Bill he was extremely knowledgeable about BMWs as he has been selling them since With some salespeople you can tell they don't know the car well, but Bill he was extremely knowledgeable about BMWs as he has been selling them since the late 1990's.

I would recommend Bill Jacobs to anyone looking to buy a car. The service I recieved was above and beyond any experience I have ever had buying a car. Bill Earnest who I worked with was very interested in car. The service I recieved was above and beyond any experience I have ever had buying a car. Bill Earnest who I worked with was very interested in getting me into the right vehicle as opposed to just getting me into a car and out of the way. We worked together for about 3 weeks to find the right fit. As I was purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, the search was a challenge. Once we found the right car, the dealership did everything they could to make sure the car was in the best position possible to exit thier lot. It was very nice to have this kind of service! More
