Hi, I’m Bill Emerson, Service Manager at Germain BMW. I have been a member of the Germain team since 1996. I am married to my wonderful wife Celine for 19 years and we have a son Robbie. Away from the dealership I enjoy spending time with my family, baseball, fishing and camping. Next time you find yourself in need of service I hope you allow me the opportunity to earn your business.

Tanner, we are disappointed you feel this way regarding our dealership. After further looking into your concerns, these are our findings. You first took your car to German Automotive Services (an independent shop) in Sarasota on 9/2/15. They replaced only the front brake rotors with parts purchased from Bert Smith BMW. You then visited BMW of Sarasota on 10/19/15 complaining about a brake vibration again. BMW of Sarasota replaced the brake rotors under warranty and charged you for new brake pads. You then returned to BMW of Sarasota in January of 2016 complaining again of a vibration. Sarasota advised you that you needed tires and had a bent wheel. You declined to address their recommendations and later accused Sarasota of not performing an alignment and wanted Sarasota to replace your tires, which they declined. After this, on 4/19/19 you decided to make an appointment at BMW of Naples and travel 130 miles to our dealership for a service appointment with a loaner vehicle. We determined your front brakes and rotors were indeed warped. We replaced your brake pads and rotors again thru a parts warranty, we also got your front control arm bushing’s replaced thru 3rd party warranty. While your vehicle was in for service for 9 days you proceeded to drive our loaner car putting 1200 miles on it. In July you contacted Ron and told him you were experiencing the vibration once again. Ron explained he was leaving on vacation and would follow up once he returned. In August you contacted me wanting to expedite a service visit once again driving 2hrs and 130 miles away to Naples. After reviewing your history, I explained that I could no longer replace your brakes under warranty, for the brake rotors to warp 4 times in 10 months, it is not a defect in materials or workmanship, it is being caused by something else. Germain BMW and Sarasota BMW will not be addressing this issue as a warranty matter. I will share this with BMW warranty and the 4 other BMW dealerships that are less than 50 miles from your home. I personally am disappointed that you feel I do not provide quality service to our guests as I take pride in the service I provide each and every customer. Germain BMW service is currently #2 in the southern region for service retention and currently #1 in the southern region in brand retention. This is out of 101 BMW dealerships! So Tanner I am doing something RIGHT! Best Regards, Bill Emerson Service Manager"

It truly saddens us that you are disappointed with our dealership and our car wash policy. This policy was implemented in an effort to provide quality service to our guest. Due to the number of sales and service vehicles and the limited number of operational hours, we felt in the interest of our guest the following guidelines allowed us the best possible solution to provide quality service. All our sold customers receive a coupon book which provides them 2 free car washes a month. This car wash includes hand wash, vacuuming, and windows. They also receive coupons for 2 washes at a discounted rate of $15.00 each. All service vehicles receive the same service at each visit weather permitting. Unfortunately cars not purchased from our dealership or not being serviced no longer have access to the car wash. However, as a goodwill gesture we would like to extend this offer to you, car washes at the discount rate of $15.00. Best Regards, Flavio Galasso General Manager

As I stated in my previews post, that is an arbitrary decision. I bought my vehicle from a BMW dealership, on the east coast. There are numerous BMW dealerships on the east coast, and I have always brought my car to any of them for car, with no problem at all. I expected to receive the same level of service, if not better, seeing the level and type of customers in the area. Your gesture is not of goodwill, but of trying to make a squeaky wheel go away, when in fact the heart of the problem is that the logic behind your policy makes no sense. I had no control over which location I bought my car from, and it seems absurd to punish a BMW customer for not buying a GERMAIN BWM. I could understand you not extending this service to BWM owners who bought their car at a non-BMW dealership, but to discriminate between one BMW dealership and another sounds like terrible business practices for BWM America. I am assuming that the ultimate BMW experience ends at Germaine BMW. Thank you for your offer, but at this point I will politely decline any offers coming from your dealership. The logic behind this policy only succeeds in alienating BMW customers.
