South Bay BMW

This place is a rip!!! and the service writers must get a kickback for selling you crap you don't need like an extra brake fluid change, injection cleaning and if you don't buy the extra stuff they will make kickback for selling you crap you don't need like an extra brake fluid change, injection cleaning and if you don't buy the extra stuff they will make you wait for the free service until your service light comes on and your oil is sooooo thin and old you are adding enough oil to your car you could of paid for an oil change....this is ok if you lease it but if you own it you will have a POS on your hands. they just want you to make it to the 50K or four year mark and then if you plan on keeping it you will pay out the you know what for the junk car they made for you by only changing once a year or every 20k.

My husband and I went to look for a pre-owned SUV 3 series. When we found one we liked, the saleswoman said the dealership puts on sales and that the one we chose was one of two that the manager puts o series. When we found one we liked, the saleswoman said the dealership puts on sales and that the one we chose was one of two that the manager puts on the lot at a really incentive price. We had previously purchased a Honda which also was at a special price at Scott Robinson Honda, so we were aware that the dealers do that, we were excited. When we went to put the downpayment on the car, we were told that they made an error on the price because the girl that types in the price made a mistake and that if we wanted "that" car we would have to pay an extra $5,000 more than what the sticker stated. We told them isn't that a Bait and Switch tactic? They said no and that if we wanted it, they could knock off a few hundred on it. We couldn't believe it. We were then told that the Director of Execellence would call us. I spoke to him but he did nothing but said they could not sell the car because they made a mistake. We were so angry that we then went to Scott Robinson and told them the story and they stated that happened to them once but they honered the price. And they could prove it! I think Southbay BMW dealership are thieves! More

He took the time and made sure my service totally satified me. The service manager supplied me with a loaner car and when finished servicing my car he dilervered it to me at my home after i returned from work. I did not list his name because of privacy issues. However, just remeber to ask for the very polite patient understanding patient service manager. I will be writting a letter of merrit to someome to award him somehow. I totally send all praise out to the Service manager at South Bay BMW. Thanks M. Lane More

I've had 4 BMWs back to back in the past 10 years and worked with 6 different dealerships in 3 different states. I have never experienced a more unfriendly staff. No return calls. No communication. it is worked with 6 different dealerships in 3 different states. I have never experienced a more unfriendly staff. No return calls. No communication. it is almost like pulling teeth every time you are there, as if you are only there to argue with them! Gave them 3 chances and they remained consistent. Will not go back again.

This dealership is horrible, Ive owned several luxury cars before and by far the most horrid experience has been with South Bay BMW. They offer walkins for service and make you wait for over an hour. Whe cars before and by far the most horrid experience has been with South Bay BMW. They offer walkins for service and make you wait for over an hour. When I made an appointment, I still had to wait for over an hour....whats wrong with these people. When you ask for the manage, you still have to wait over 30 minutes More

The battery light came on in my 2002 BMW which per the manual, meant that the alternator needed to be replaced. I took it to South Bay BMW and they called me after inspecting the vehicle and said that it manual, meant that the alternator needed to be replaced. I took it to South Bay BMW and they called me after inspecting the vehicle and said that it would cost $1100 to replace it. I thought it was a little high, but opted to do it. What really got me upset was that they said that the car needed all kinds of other repairs totaling over $4000. In addition to the alternator, they recommended the following: new power steering hoses, new water pump, thermostat, radiator, expansion tank, control arm and other miscellaneous work. They even said that the tires had some wear on them and they were brand new! Oh and get this, I recently had changed the battery and got a non-BMW battery since it was 1/2 the price. They said that a non-BMW battery could even cause problems. Come on, it's the same voltage whether it comes from a BMW battery or other brand. This is a BMW and is supposed to be built to last. It's why I paid $45k for it. If it needs $4000 worth of repairs for a 4-5 year old car, something is wrong. The bottom line is that the car didn't need the extra repairs. These guys are unethical and only looking to take advantage of their customers and maximize profits. I'll never go back to them again. I'm lucky that I knew enough not to do the unecessary work, but I feel sorry for the next customer that might believe them. Stay away! More
