I came in for an oil change. Discovered that I also needed a break job. Which was fine. They gave me a great loaner, called me when the work was complete and I picked up the car that same day. However, needed a break job. Which was fine. They gave me a great loaner, called me when the work was complete and I picked up the car that same day. However, on my way home my car started making HORRIBLE metal screeching sounds. I called the BMW and got a RUDE response from the receptionist saying there is nothing she can do and if I wanted to, I can just leave my car where it is and have it towed the next day. Mind you, it was -12 degrees outside and what was I supposed to do, WALK HOME???? So I continued driving, hoping my wheels don't fall off. The following morning, I called the service again, asking if I can bring my car in to have it looked at. I got a rude receptionist ONCE MORE, saying there are no openings for an appointment. I stated that my car was just serviced a day earlier and something was done wrong, so wouldn't my case be an exception. She had nothing to offer me for help. Unfortunately I had jury duty that day that I couldn't miss so I was unable to come and spend the entire day waiting to be seen. So I drove - once more, in a broken car - hoping nothing bad would happen. At lunch time, I called the service again and had a receptionist tell me that she cant help me, that the service manager is not available, that there are no cars to loan me while mine is looked at and added that "what did I expect her to do, run around the dealership looking for someone?" - as were her exact words!!!! FINALLY, after screaming and stating that if something bad was in fact to happen to me while driving an impaired vehicle, who was I to sue, she got a manager to call me. I was able to come see him at 3pm and found out that the backing plate was damaged and connected wrong and therefore was scratching the rotor. It took 10 minutes to fix it - but 2 days for me to get the job done - not to mention the worry I went thru. I drive a BMW, which is supposed to be the "ultimate driving machine" - and yet, apparently there are xxxxxxx performing basic service jobs on these "ultimate driving machines". I will NEVER take my car to Patrick for service again! THE ONLY good person through this whole mess was Kristin, the service coordinator. She was the only one who managed to get a manager to call me back and was very apologetic for my bad experience. More
These guys are the worst. High pressure sales techniques and rude when you push back. The sales manager, Tim Gadomski, is a low brow jerk who should be selling brushes door to door rather than $70k cars. and rude when you push back.

Terrible Service: The service manager, Tom, had my car 2 Terrible Service: The service manager, Tom, had my car 2 or 3 times. We have a Star Marked SAAB.

We complained about that the engine light coming on constantly shortly after buying it and shaking while driving. He and his service staff could not figure it out. They thought the problem was our rim/tire. They charged us for a new tire and rim. We got it back and the light came on again within hours, and the shaking continued miserably. I called to complain and he said to bring it back - AGAIN! I told him that I would bring it to Motorwerks and let him know if they could figure it out. The same day the car was dropped off at Motorwerks they immediately identified that the problem with the car was that the throttle assembly needed to be replaced. In addition they found problems with the electrical and starter. The engine light no longer illuminates and the shaking is gone. THANKS MOTORWERKS!!! Furthermore, Mondo and the service crew at Motorwerks get straight 5's. Mondo is the friendliest and accomodating service manager I have ever dealt with. I also have a Mercedes, which I service at the MB dealership that I got it at. The service there is excellent as well. However I'd still give Mondo top honors. After my experience with Tom and Patrick BMW, I have to give them a huge thumbs down for their very shabby handling of my car. My wife was pulling her hair out!!! I would not recommend them. For this reason, "I" would never purchase a car from them. More
I had a terrible sales experience and reported it to the BBB and posted on my3cents and badbusinessbureau.com. They never once returned my calls or written requests. Now they have served me with a request BBB and posted on my3cents and badbusinessbureau.com. They never once returned my calls or written requests. Now they have served me with a request for a Temporary Restraining Order claiming that I am defaming them. You decide whether or not you want to buy from this dealer. More

Bought my z4 here. Very arrogant staff. Should have walked out, as even the receptionist was too busy flirting with a mechanic, then got annoyed when I asked her to call a salesperson over. Sale went s walked out, as even the receptionist was too busy flirting with a mechanic, then got annoyed when I asked her to call a salesperson over. Sale went somewhat ok, but I have bought dozens of cars over the years and am smart enought about the process. Took them forever to give me a finance rate and price, just kept coming back with payment number over and over. xxxx, should have walked out. 2 months later came back as the top was making noice, they told me it was a 3 week wait for a loaner, I thought the guy was kidding. Turns out they have only a few cars available and if it's a break down situtaion, then will get you one or into a rental. Second time I came in for another noice, they offered to drive me to work and pick me up later. The later was me waiting outside of work for 30 min, as the guy was picking up 3 other dumb customers. Take my advise and buy and service elsewhere. Field's is the other one close to my house and while they are no picnic, at least better than these guys More
Joel Beekil is a dream-come-true when it comes to the car salesman. Best no-haggle price, follow-up, and customer service. I bought my second BMW from him, and both times no other dealership could beat the salesman. Best no-haggle price, follow-up, and customer service. I bought my second BMW from him, and both times no other dealership could beat the price and/or service. That said, not every Patrick salesman is like that, so I think each individual dealership experience is heavily weighted on tbe main person that a customer is dealing with. More
