Worst experience in my life I flew down from New York to South Carolina on January 17,2014 to purchase a used vehicle from this dealership. I sat down to do the finance paperwork I flew down from New York to South Carolina on January 17,2014 to purchase a used vehicle from this dealership. I sat down to do the finance paperwork with Jim M and was sold a BMW road hazard tire & wheel protection warranty for $1289/5 Year/Unlimited mileage which is listed on my bill of sale which I am currently paying for. I was driving to work on the morning of October 6th 2014 and my tire light comes on and I pull over and notice I got a flat tire due to a nail. I called a tow truck and got the vehicle towed to my local BMW ($185 out of pocket charge). I get inside the dealership and the service rep asked how I would like to pay. I tell him I have a BMW road hazard tire & wheel protection warranty. The tech checks his system and says he doesnt see anything on file and I should contact the dealership I bought the car from. I called and talked to Rodney and explained my situation and he told me to to pay for the tire and the service and the dealership would reinburse me ($573.91 out of pocket charge). I dont know why my warranty that I paid for is not active. Rodney then fedex me a different warranty that he wanted me to sign that was not unlimited mileage no towing coverage, non bmw warranty basically not what I paid for. I contacted Sonic motor group to see if they can do anything about the situation and Vicky contact the manager who called me the same day I contacted Sonic. He appologized for the mixup and promised to call me the next day. Its been two weeks and I havnt heard anything from the manager who promised to call me back. I lost a day of work and weeks of frustration trying to get my money for the towing and the tire/replacement costs. Emails/phone calls and nobody can help me. Whats going to happen if got forbid I get another flat tire? please think of other options before going to this dealership. The lack of communication and unprofessionalism that I recieved I wouldnt want anyone else to experience that More
Painful every time The service department has lost my keys, diagnosed the same issue as three different causes, and repeatedly finished repairs late without calling to l The service department has lost my keys, diagnosed the same issue as three different causes, and repeatedly finished repairs late without calling to let me know. When I went to buy a new car, they jacked up my finance rate, then lied to me about it...even though I can and had done the math on it. I finally bought and will service my new BMW elsewhere. More
I had the worst experience with the sales advisor Jennifer Little at Century BMW in Greenville SC. She swiped my debit card several times without my consent therefore causing my card to freeze. She h Jennifer Little at Century BMW in Greenville SC. She swiped my debit card several times without my consent therefore causing my card to freeze. She has no customer service skills!! I called the bank from her office and then she proceeded to argue with the bank that she didn't. She never apologized or tried to make the situation better. She just stood there with a DUMB look on her face!! A lil advice for Jennifer Little. Find something a lil easier that you can do.....swiping bank cards is just too difficult for you. More
Kilgore family Tuscaloosa,AL So this is how our Kilgore family Tuscaloosa,AL So this is how our journey lead us to century bmw of Greenville SC...we were looking for a particular bmw M3 with a Kilgore family Tuscaloosa,AL So this is how our journey lead us to century bmw of Greenville SC...we were looking for a particular bmw M3 with a particular set of skills an miles! lol believe it or not there was only 4 in the us on the market that were at a decent price... we are from Tuscaloosa AL and we are looking at cars on the market in Seattle WA which is nothing less than two plane tickets and a gamble on a used performance vehicle which to me was a huge risk then I came across the right car with the right color inside and out low miles and priced reasonably and it was only five hours away so I immediately called to check the availability! on the first call I spoke with Chris the used car mgr who dropped the price to match others that honestly didn't match up with his car an the options it had...we had discussed financing half the vehicle with him and I was immediately passed onto the finance mgr after Chris answered all my tedious an meticulous questions "does the engine tick" "is that camera flash or a stain on the door" lol the finance mgr roger took our info over the phone and thru email... we filled out a simple form on century bmw's website at that point we were told we would get a call back not 20 minutes had passed when he called back saying congratulations we got you approved with a good rate "penalty free" loan an to be honest we are just establishing credit so we were def impressed... at that point it was almost to good to be true then we were told they would do the paperwork an overnight it to us to be signed in order to secure the vehicle until we could schedule a pick up! sure enough next day the paperwork arrived no surprises at all once again to good to be true along with the car the pics the disposition of all the staff TO GOOD TO BE TRUE so I knew that if we signed this paperwork an mailed it back we had just officially bought ourselves a car! with my gut telling something's up I decided it's only a 4/5 hour drive we can't both get off work but I can so why not sign the papers deliver them myself after I inspect the vehicle! so that's what I did left out early this morning an drove to Greenville much to everyone's surprise upon arrival I was greeted by at least 5 staff one of which is Chris "used mgr" and Shawn "salesman" we talked then moved on to the car which was perfect inside and out drove perfect was under represented if you ask me the engine sounded brand new and had 44k on it I was told it was previously owned by a doctor which I brushed off as a sales gimmick which I actually confirmed with the vin thru our local dealer I was completely satisfied and all worries were at eased we then went back inside an I presented them with the signed paperwork and spoke with all the staff including the general manager Tommy for a good while about the car an the entire experience which was A++ we are now the proud new owners of one of bmw's finest and I can't wait to return with my wife an bring it home with us it's my understanding that this use to be a place to stay away from a couple years ago from good sources but in the last couple years it has been revamped with new staff and new ways if doing business which in my opinion is impeccable these guys definitely provide the premium service that a bmw commands new or used from my point of view I didn't see not one car that was "auction worthy" an or under par I'm sure I am missing many details about the transaction but needless to say it was awesome and I couldn't imagine anyone having a bad experience here and now at Century BMW can't wait to return and drive home our M3!

I had a great buying experience for my preowned certified BMW 328i. The appointment was over the internet, and I got a reminder email from Cameron, and a phone call. They had the car ready for test drive. Br BMW 328i. The appointment was over the internet, and I got a reminder email from Cameron, and a phone call. They had the car ready for test drive. Brian accompanied me for the test drive and asked some thoughtful questions about my interest and listened to my responses. He seems to be a natural salesman, not pushy, but asking the right questions to gauge your interest. Since he saw my interest in the car, he recommended a second test drive and that did sell me. I am a first time BMW owner, but am happy with the purchase so far, and very happy with the customer service thus far. His boss also stopped by and gave my car a free detail after my purchase. Thanks Brian. More

Issue: Century BMW acted in bad faith by advertising a price on their website, confirming the price by phone while attempting to take a deposit from a customer, then later "adjusting" the price UP another price on their website, confirming the price by phone while attempting to take a deposit from a customer, then later "adjusting" the price UP another $3,000 dollars, while making groundless claims that it is still the "lowest price in the market." Facts: Called Century BMW in Greenville, SC, after seeing car advertised for $12,991 on their website. Salesperson confirmed price was $12,991, as advertised on their website, and said the car was at the shop getting the soft-top replaced and detailed before they could take pictures. Salesperson offered to put the car on hold for me with a $500 refundable deposit. I said I would rather see the pictures first. Salesperson agreed to send pictures over email. I sent follow up email minutes after our conversation recapping next steps and the types of pictures I need. Then, I get the reply below.... Century BMW's reply: "I just checked the pricing on the Honda 2000 and want you to know the price has been adjusted to $15991. I realize the early pricing said $12991. But with our decision to replace the torn top with a complete new top the price is $15991. Let me know if you are still interested since it is still the lowest price in the market for the same vehicle." More
