Efficiency Service Advisor Derek Thomas was very professional and courteous. Arrived 15 minutes early for a 10:00 am appointment. Car did not move to servicing a Service Advisor Derek Thomas was very professional and courteous. Arrived 15 minutes early for a 10:00 am appointment. Car did not move to servicing area until 10;30. I was told it was ready at 11:30. It takes an hour to remove, install and balnce new tire ? It would have been only an hour, if they had started at 10:00 am. An hour is a reasonable time to wait for a tire change ! More

My first service session with BMW As this was my first service appointment with BMW I was hoping for a good experience. I think overall I was very satisfiied from the appointment As this was my first service appointment with BMW I was hoping for a good experience. I think overall I was very satisfiied from the appointment reminder pone call, setting a convenient time, being told to expect a 2 hour service--that was 2 hour. While Derek was attentive and efficient as one could expect, I also was impressed with other BMW personnel I interacted with and found them to be very pleasant and wanting to be helpful. I look forward to a long relationship with BMW. More

Verified the availability of a lo Took my bmw in for a recall....had an appointment and also was promised a loaner car from bmw as this was a recall. Verified the availability of a loaner car when I made the appointment. After waiting 2 hours the loaner car finally became available...however my vehicle was almost finished with the repair. I consider a 2 hour wait for a loaner unacceptable. Bmw should not make promises it has not intention of keeping. More
