Thank you for choosing Rallye BMW for your service needs! I have been with BMW since July of 1983; started as a tech for 5 Towns BMW, and then went to Bayside BMW in 1986, working as a Service Advisor. I became Service Manager there until 1998. Next, I took a position at BMW of Manhattan, as the Paint & Body Shop Manager. For this position, I supervised the set up and ran the paint & body shop. In December of 2004, I came to Rallye BMW as a Service Advisor. I am proud to work for a dealer that has faith in the decisions that I make, which are always in the best interests of our customers and the dealership itself. I am from Elmhurst, NY and a graduate of Queens Vocational School. My ability to work with my hands spans from automotive to boat and home repairs. In my free time, I enjoy boating, hunting, fishing, and doing wood work. My motto is to treat others in a way that I would like to be treated!

Waste of money and time My car went in with a misfire at the end of february and was diagnosed that the DISA valve was the issue after having a plethora of parts replaced und My car went in with a misfire at the end of february and was diagnosed that the DISA valve was the issue after having a plethora of parts replaced under the SULEV warranty. I got the DISA valve replaced at my shop and still had a misfire...turns out BMW swapped my O2 sensors mistakenly...we switched them back and still I had a misfire, so naturally I brought it back to Ralley. THIS TIME(2nd) they said it was the valve cover that had been cracked and is causing the misfire...they offered me discount on the labor and part since it was "missed" the first time and I went through with the very COSTLY repair. Picked up the car after Bret, my service advisor, said it was READY and repaired... still had a CEL and misfire...Now extremely frustrated I brought the car back the next day for a THIRD time and a few days later they told me after doing a compression test I have low compression in 3 cylinders and need a new engine and also had a faulty starter. I took the car back from Ralley mid march and went to my shop because this seemed very incorrect since I got 3 different diagnostic results every time I went back. My shop did a leak down test, a compression test and checked the cylinders/intake, everything was good, had good compression through all cylinders and cleaned the intake out to fix the misfire, now there is no CEL or misfire and the car is running 100% again. Ralley does not perform good/thorough service and I most likely will never be back. Seems like all they were interested in was making money off me, which is very upsetting. How does an engine go from "needing to be replaced" to perfectly fine after my shop actually does the tests that were said to be performed and gets different results... absolutely ridiculous. More

Desperate Times Call For Desperate Service Commitment During the mayhem of the CV-19 crisis, I blew a tire on the LIE. It was approaching 2pm and BMW Rallye was slated to close at 3pm. When I pulled into During the mayhem of the CV-19 crisis, I blew a tire on the LIE. It was approaching 2pm and BMW Rallye was slated to close at 3pm. When I pulled into the service station, it was very clean and staff were all trained to make everyone feel like the space was safe. Chris Blanco I am not surprised at all is management level. He met me and understood my emergency needs and authorized work to replace my tire immediately as I did not have time to wait for the next day service. I was in an out within an hour and have nothing but the highest praises to sing for Chris's assistance and seeing to me getting out as soon as possible. More
