We have consistently brought our BMW vehicles to your dealership for service because of the excellent experience—however, our most recent visit was very disappointing. We came in regarding tire issues an dealership for service because of the excellent experience—however, our most recent visit was very disappointing. We came in regarding tire issues and had purchased the tire and wheel protection package. My husband was confident the damage would be covered since there was still sufficient tread. However, Derek initially informed us that the claim would not be covered, stating all tires were below 1 cm, which was incorrect. We returned to the dealership and had to wait over an hour because he was at lunch. When he finally assisted us, he acknowledged that the measurements were incorrect. We then had to wait an additional two days for insurance approval. Throughout this process, communication was very difficult. We were unable to reach him, and when we did receive responses, they came across as rude and unprofessional. This experience did not meet the level of service we expect from BMW. Due to this experience, we would prefer not to work with him again in the future. More

I made a reservation for repair on a recall and it was specifically made so I would get a loaner. When I got there, I was told no loaner was available and I would be met by someone from Enterprise Leasing specifically made so I would get a loaner. When I got there, I was told no loaner was available and I would be met by someone from Enterprise Leasing. Derek also told me that he would try to get the car done that day (a Friday) but that he would call me that afternoon to let me know if it would be Friday or Monday. The driver shows up in 10 - 15 minutes and when I got to Enterprise the SUV they offered had body damage that had not been previously reported, so they could only offer a VW Jetta with no power. I had to floor the accelerator to get it to go over 50. Then, no call from Derek. So I had to keep the Jetta through the weekend that was really a danger to drive on any Interstate. I did get a voicemail from Derek Monday AM at 10:30 that I could come by. When I came by, Derek did not come out to meet me, just the front desk person. An apology would have been appropriate! Please assign me another Service supervisor going forward and if you promise me a loaner, please give me a BMW loaner! More
