Lack of thorough and professional communication from the service advisor, Derek. Follow up delays after a service issue and did not provide quotes for tires as requested nor other services/parts that were r service advisor, Derek. Follow up delays after a service issue and did not provide quotes for tires as requested nor other services/parts that were recommended during inspection. Overall service experience not of the caliber I’ve received from other BMW dealerships (Except my last service with advisor Carlos was excellent. My appointment was with him, but he was not in when I checked in for the appt, so I was switched to this advisor). More

I left a voicemail for Derek on Monday to call me about a question I had. He never returned my call so next day I spoke with a nice lady named Lorraine who found the answer to my question and made an appoint question I had. He never returned my call so next day I spoke with a nice lady named Lorraine who found the answer to my question and made an appointment. I brought the car in on Fri for service and went to pick it up that afternoon. I was told Derek had to handle the payment and in a somewhat rude manner the person behind the checkin counter told me I would just have to wait for Derek. He finally showed up about 15 minutes later and eventually I paid and retrieved my car. So from time I walked in to pick up my car it took 20+ minutes to leave BMW Of Sarasota for the last time. This business practice of no cashier and having to wait to check out with a service manager who usually tries to talk you into other services they say you “need” is why your reviews are not the best.

On my recent visit of October 25, 2023 this was not accomplished. I called Derek Thomas and left a message on Thursday, 26 October, and never heard back.

I really value both my service advisor & the dealer techs. They are consistently outstanding. Where BMW of Sarasota falls short is on the amount of time it takes to service my car. 3+ hours for regular techs. They are consistently outstanding. Where BMW of Sarasota falls short is on the amount of time it takes to service my car. 3+ hours for regular scheduled maintenance - basically an oil change & a car wash. You guys need to lift your game. Either expand (again) your service area, build a second dealership or certify a service subcontractor. I’m to the point where I’m seriously considering driving to Tampa for service - it’s a wash time-wise. I have been a loyal BMW customer for decades but you’re forcing my hand to look at alternatives. There are not enough BMW dealerships to properly service the Gulf Coast area. This isn’t rocket science. More
