Amazing... EVERYTHING I brought my 2009 mini in for service... and it was in pretty rough condition. The vanos system was shot, it was leaking oil, brake pads were needing I brought my 2009 mini in for service... and it was in pretty rough condition. The vanos system was shot, it was leaking oil, brake pads were needing replacing... the works! So instead of pushing me to repair an obviously struggling car- Courtney with the service department suggested trading it in for a newer model. She didn’t have to- it’s her department to FIX them- not sell new ones. But she over heard me mention that I owed $5,000 on the car still and it was going to be $3,000 to repair it. So she directed me to Derek, who was an absolute charm. He listened to what I had to say- didn’t pressure me at all, was very welcoming and accommodating. I told him I hated the minis with the silver gas caps (worst design EVER) but I didn’t need an absolutely BRAND NEW car- as I’ve had the 2009 for 2 years and didn’t mind that it was 10 years old. So he found me THE PERFECT car- and after I fell in love with it. I was taken over to a gentleman named Joe Cleaver to flesh out the finances. He worked diligently and patiently- he even helped work out a deal that I could afford without emptying my bank! He was just as amazing as the rest of the team and I felt like I was in good hands. Never once did I feel like I was given the run-around, or promised things that weren’t delivered. Even days after coming home with my new car- they remained in touch. Asking how I enjoyed the new car- even being so kind and friendly enough to ask how much better it was than my old car! They’re so personable and wonderful. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience!! More

Service, Sales or just stopping in In recent weeks, and actually since August I have had the absolute pleasure of visiting this Dealership no less than 7 times. I dropped off my M In recent weeks, and actually since August I have had the absolute pleasure of visiting this Dealership no less than 7 times. I dropped off my MINI Cooper lease in Late August. I started looking for a New MINI (on-line) some time in early July or late June. I have had service 3 times on two other cars, and recently purchased a 2019 MINI Cooper Countryman S. All Chili Red! Santos my MINI sales advisor should have fired me in September. He was very patient and I absolutely LOVE my New Countryman. Now he is a full time Manager and I was his last sale. BMW Service always has treated me exceptionally well and my last 3 visits were no exception. Jamie Annese always seems to be yessing me whenever I have a request. The Service drive is always friendly and all the Service Advisors are a team. Now, I get to Heidi Coberly. Truly a professional in every aspect of what she does. Never a it can't be done. Always we can make it happen. Her smile is contagious! Thank you Ferman MINI and BMW! More
