An auto accident is, for most people, a frightening experience. My BMW 750LI, with every "Bell & Whistle," affords me extraordinary "JOY;"the BMW advertising agency hit it right on the head recently when this campaign was introduced. BMW is very special;I realize now, that it is not just the BMW vehicle, but the entire experience. Pior to an auto accident, I always looked forward to going to this dealership for service, and, while having free coffee, Starbuck's at that, just meander visiting the parts department (by golly, I always purchase something such as the BM Championnship shirts, wallets, key chains, about twenty caps, Clothing, cast replicas, of the 750LI, And, visiting with the personnel afforded me the opportunity to feel so very special, almost like visiting a five star hotel. Well before the most recent ad campaign, I was filled with JOY;oh, my, what a joyous occasion. My eexperience at the Lauderdale Collision Center has beren unique!!!!!!! Typically, in my opinion, visiting a collision center previously has been the least glamorous, most fearful, least pleasant, most anoying experience with all vehicles other than BMW. Doubtless to say, customers are in a much different frame of mind when their "Baby(BMW") is damaged and, the customer, in most cases, is recovedring from an injury of one sort or another. My experience has been nothing but fantastic!!!!!!!I believe that Mr. Steve Suppo, the Manager, Mr. Richard Simms, the Associate Managder, & especially, Omar, the chief Technician(he should be promoted if he is not in this position already,) appear to LOVE what they do. They are a reflection of Mr. Steve Suppo. I think that, if I were the President of BMW, I would get off my Butt, visit them, and tell them personally what great l;pove they are affording your customes. As a matter of fact, I would have all sales personnel visit the people I have mentioned for a few days and learn. Other things beding equal, such as BMW being "The Ultiomate Driving Machine, the BMW total experience, etc., it is the people mentioned, doing the most difficult job of all, personally, who have solidified my desire to purchase only BMW forever and to make certain that I tell at least one person every day about BMW, and only Lauderdale BMW. Incidentally, I drive many miles to visit this particular agency and, I always will. Thank you Holman Family;you have "Got It Right!"

Awful experience & terrible service from Buddy himself - UnhappyCustomer

My car is worse off leaving than when it arrived, bubbles in the paint, damage still not repaired. After 33 days I went to get my car for the 5th time and Buddy Foster himself was there he came out of the back office and screamed at me "You better just take your car today and leave we are done fixing it, nothing is wrong with it" I asked him to go out and look at the car with me when we approached I saw a 6-8 inch rubber mark on the front bumper that had just been replaced and painted by them. Needless to say after terrible service and having to bring the car back 5 times and another time not even leaving with the car I will never return to Buddy Foster because they do a crappy job and because Buddy himself thinks he can yell and scream at a customer. I had Jim tell me one of the times that I came up there to get it "Well you are just pickier than most customers" Which means that Buddy Foster thinks it is okay to not repair things, leave bubbles in the paint and clear coat because most customers aren't as picky as me. Buddy himself should be ashamed of his behavior and how he spoke to me it was totally unacceptable and there were several witnesses to see the show he put on. The repairs needed for my car should have taken at most a week however at 33 days it still needs work done and we be going to another shop to have the damaged caused by Buddy Foster repaired the proper way. I would no recommend that anyone bring their vehicles to BF for any repairs not only because the work is terrible but because of the owner don't give that rude guy your business.

I HIGHLY recommend Century Kia of Tampa. - AggiGMR

I HIGHLY recommend Century Kia of Tampa. I came in through the internet to shop for Kia EV Winds. The ladies in the internet department were amazing. Very courteous and direct with the answers to my questions. I was not able to purchase a Kia from Century Kia because I live over an hour and a half away. BUT I was so impressed with the internet department's work that I wanted to recognize their professionalism.

Took them a week to replace a bumper they estimated to take one day. Did not contact me to inform me repairs would take longer and did not return half of my phone calls. Did not appreciate the general attitude of Mr. Woods or his supervisor. Courtesy driver was quite nice.

.LIARS AND THEIVES!! Tried to take advantage of an... - Chiptatum

.LIARS AND THEIVES!! Tried to take advantage of an elderly woman. My mother-in-law, an elderly disabled woman, brought her vehicle into this service department with a burning smell concern. they kept her vehicle for several days and then told her she needed about $2500 in repairs for several oil leaks. When she questioned the estimate, she was told that she HAD to do the repairs or else her car was going to catch on fire. There is NO TRUTH to this and was merely a scare tactic to convince a confused elderly woman to approve a bogus job. She was bullied into approving the work. Afterwards she contacted my wife who told her to call them back and tell them she wanted a second opinion. They then told her that there was no backing out now because they had already torn the vehicle down and waiting for parts. So, after being told that, my wife and I drove up to the dealerships. Surprise!!!!There was her car still sitting in the parking lot UNTOUCHED!!! So, we walked into the service adviser area and when we asked the advisor why he lied to her, He immediately jumped up in an aggressive manner and stuck his fingers in my face and started yelling about how He's not going to tolerate being called a liar. I then approached the service manager who told me if I cancelled the job that he was going to charge me for re-stocking fees. He also made the statement that If I called him a liar, I was not going to like the man he becomes. Implying yet another threat. At this point we took the vehicle. We then had it checked out by another reliable trustworthy mechanic. As it turns out, not a single thing quoted by Garber was accurate. One small leak was found that was dripping on exhaust and creating the burning smell. Nothing that would "catch on fire" and only cost a fraction of what Garber tried to rip her off for. In addition, we got in contact with a member of upper management who assured us that it would be handled. He advised that all phone calls are recorded, and there is video surveillance as well. The next day we had to reach out to this person again who suddenly changed his tune. Conveniently there were suddenly no recording and no video. Imagine that. Moral of the story, I highly advised against ANYONE trusting ANY member of this establishment as they are all crooked from the top to the bottom.

The service dept is awesome. - cdr7644

The service dept is awesome. They keep me informed about my vehicle and the service manager is a really cool guy that will go out of his way to help.

Just want to say how nice it was dealing with Scott - jfarnkopf

Just want to say how nice it was dealing with Scott Brinkman at gator Ford service counter. Scott kept me informed at all times. Scott is very knowledgeable which made me at ease. He arranged me a ride for work, again kept me in the loop and had me back in my truck in no time. Because of Scott and his professionalism I feel comfortable bringing my truck to Gator for for all my needs Thanks Scott

Frank in the service departent is off-putting and the - jspianoman

Frank in the service departent is off-putting and the service department busted my F150 sunroof. They tried to say the motor and track were broken, but I had just opened and closed it successfully prior to the drop off. I needed a seal replaced on the sunroof and simply asked for a quote. Instead they called to tell me it's $5400 and I have to replace it because they can't put it back together. xxx - they are terrible and you should RUN as fast as you can to another dealership. Ken Ball (General Manger) is as nasty as the service manager and crew.
