Took my 2024 BMW 8 Series in for standard service and had - BringerOD
Took my 2024 BMW 8 Series in for standard service and had a very disappointing experience. They tried to upsell my wife $1,000 for unnecessary services (AC cleaning, coolant flush, and fuel injection cleaning) that are not part of BMW’s official maintenance schedule. When I called to question this, I was told we have the “lowest plan” (though a higher plan wouldn’t cover these either) and that declining the services could risk engine coverage if the car fails — which feels like scare tactics.
On top of that, my wife picked up the car with low tire pressure and was argued with instead of helped. When I called back, the service advisor hung up on me and later claimed I was “upset from the beginning,” which was not true — I was simply asking why my wife was pressured to pay $1,000 for routine service.
Overall, the experience felt more like extortion and upselling than BMW-level customer care.
