I bought 3 cars over 11 years with this dealership. The only reason I am not still using the is I moved to LA and it is too far to commute. Ski on is the New Car Sales Manager. He is outstanding and never only reason I am not still using the is I moved to LA and it is too far to commute. Ski on is the New Car Sales Manager. He is outstanding and never fails to speak to my husband and I in the dealership or out and about. Roxie is our Sales Rep and is fantastic at balancing all the aspects of the sale. I now consider her a friend as well as my "BMW Chick!" what can I say about Tony? He ROCKS! He handled all my service things for 11 years. He even called my new dealership to provide some needed info about an after market add on Sandia did for my car. I consider all three of these guys to be friends now. The rest of the guys at Sandia are just as responsive. I really can't say enough about them. I am still grieving over my loss of the dealership. It is the best I have worked with, ever! Pam May More
After moving to NM, I needed to replace my O2 sensor in my BMW 325ic. I was told by the service manager that they would need to "get to know my car" before they could work on it!I was thinking, why should my BMW 325ic. I was told by the service manager that they would need to "get to know my car" before they could work on it!I was thinking, why should I have to pay for the service department to go on a date with my car. I later went to 3 other mechanics to try to diagnose what I already knew to be my o2 sensor. I ended up fixing it myself. Hey, Sandia BMW just because youre the only game in town doesn't mean we have to go to you for sales or service. I would rather drive to Arizona or California, for that matter to do my business. I have owned a 1981 bmw 323i in Germany and have alway had great service, unfortunately here in the US they seemed to be working on ego rather than customer service. Hey service department, how would you feel if you had to take your wife to the doctors and they told you they had to "get to know her first?"I guess this is not far fron the truth because this is the attitude the customers get while being at your dealership. Maybe you should offer knee pads and cigerettes when servicing your costumers. More
I have purchased/leased 3 new vehicles from this dealership and have nothing but great praise for their professionalism and customer service. I haven't needed much service yet, but the one time I h dealership and have nothing but great praise for their professionalism and customer service. I haven't needed much service yet, but the one time I had a problem with a tire I showed up without an appointment and was treated courteously. I got the car repaired and was on my way. I don't anticipate the same problems highlighted in some of these reviews, but if the dealership goes "bad", I'll let you all know. More
1. We purchased a 135icic. Minor repairs, price, and service was great. Trade-in was very fair as well as price on our purchase. Minor repairs not noticed at the dealership were promptly accepted and service was great. Trade-in was very fair as well as price on our purchase. Minor repairs not noticed at the dealership were promptly accepted and performed, even after I left the lot. Fred Badgett was as professional a salesman as I have ever worked with. 2. Repairs and service to all of our BMW's has been excellent, but in particular to our M6. Mr. Tony Van xxxx (Service advisor) professional attitude in taking care of my problem was an example that should serve as a model for the service industry. More
My wife and I have purchased or leased several vehicles going back to 2005. Arnold has been our salesman for all purchases. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Simon is a great manager, very easy to wo going back to 2005. Arnold has been our salesman for all purchases. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Simon is a great manager, very easy to work with. The service department has only been used for routine maintenance, and occasional minor nuisance issues. Very easy to schedule service online, and if given enough lead time, you will be provided a BMW, or have a local non BMW rental. More
I was told they wanted me to ok $900. worth of repairs to my passenger side door. When i asked what was wrong they said they were not sure and have to take the door apart. This was after they had my car for my passenger side door. When i asked what was wrong they said they were not sure and have to take the door apart. This was after they had my car for five hours. Being a aircraft mechinc, i can't see how they can make this claim if they really have not made a effort to look for the problem. After taking to the service manger i was told to go fix it myself. This is waht Jeff Cline (service Manger)emailed me back after i sent in a bad survey: Dear Mr. Welch: I sincerely apologize for Sandia BMW not meeting your expectations during your service visit. We are not used to customers trying to negotiate with our labor prices or being told how to do a repair; it is strictly your choice to attempt the repair on your vehicle. We fix BMW's here with a professional approach with factory BMW parts and are not used to correcting other peoples work gone badly. I think we would all be better off if you chose anther shop in the future. Sincerely Jeff Cline Service Director Sandia BMW I love my BMW, But its sad that Sandia is the only dealer in town. More
I purchased a certified pre-owned 2003 325CI. One month after purchased I had to replace front brakes, less than six months after purchase I had to replace the starter and was told I needed belts and hose after purchased I had to replace front brakes, less than six months after purchase I had to replace the starter and was told I needed belts and hoses, and in less than a year I now need to replace the rear breaks. I expect ed for the money and product to be in much better condition and I am very disappointed in the deception that I was getting a quality vehicle. Not only that while my car was under warranty, the dealership where I purchased the car was also where I took it for service, on a few occassions instead of checking the status of my warranty they actually tried to charge me. I must say I will never buy from this dealer again and we will see if I will ever purchase another BMW over a mercedes. More
