BMW of Monterey is truly unique in the purchase,service,and financings of an automobile.I should know,I have acquired five BMW's over the last twenty years from them.One call placed to Bob purchase,service,and financings of an automobile.I should know,I have acquired five BMW's over the last twenty years from them.One call placed to Bob Thomas was all it took to acquire my new X5. The car was ready when I arrived,a lot of the paperwork was completed,and the test drive went well.You will actually enjoy the experience at BMW of Monterey. Bob"s main objective is "lets have fun during the transaction". In all of my visits, Paul Giovino keeps a sharp eye on all aspects of the store! I always celebrate the driving of my new BMW down the coast,along beautiful Route 1. My sincere thanks to the whole team! More

My wife and I came to this dealership after visiting Stevens Creek BMW. Our experience at Stevens Creek BMW was poor. As we are often in the Monterey area we decided to explore and experience BMW of M Stevens Creek BMW. Our experience at Stevens Creek BMW was poor. As we are often in the Monterey area we decided to explore and experience BMW of Monterey. It was immediately and qualitatively an improvement from your experience at Stevens Creek. BMW of Monterey has a friendly, professional, and has competent staff. Paul Giovino greeted us and invited into his office, we chatted a few minutes, then he located Bob Thomas who worked with us to complete our lease. We felt valued as customers. Thanks. Russ Pugh More

Bob Thomas is the best salesman I have ever worked with. He is knowledgeable beyond any BMW representative I have ever talked to and has a long history with selling this remarkable automobile. I first met He is knowledgeable beyond any BMW representative I have ever talked to and has a long history with selling this remarkable automobile. I first met Bob ten years ago when I walked into the Monterey showroom and wanted to test drive a 5-series. Bob demonstrated the attributes of a BMW and I was suddenly a convert. I had purchased three Mercedes in previous years and quickly learned what I had been missing. Bob treats his clients like his best friend and never misleads or over states facts. So far, I have purchased two BMW's from Bob and my daughter has also purchased two BMW's from Bob on my recommendation. I also tell everyone about my wonderful experiences dealing with Bob and I am already looking forward to my next purchase through Bob. Before retirement, I had operated my own retail business and was never fortunate enough to find an employee or salesman with the wonderful qualities that Bob has. He is without a doubt the premier salesman at Monterey BMW. More

His attention to detail and superior knowledge of BMW is incredible. I would absolutely come back to buy or lease a car from him even if I decide I don't like BMW anymore. That's how fantastic he is. So patient, kind, friendly, not pushy. Amazing!!!!!! He should have a higher commission than anyone because he is great employee. BMW is lucky to have him! More
