Dishonest Customer Service Had a very bad experience dealing with their service department. I was promised a warranty repair, by the advisor, foreman, and approved by the direct Had a very bad experience dealing with their service department. I was promised a warranty repair, by the advisor, foreman, and approved by the director, only to be told that the warranty date expired later so the issue is dead in the water. Once I got that cleared up by the director as it was supposed to be, now I am being told it has another problem on the car so the warranty hydraulic unit which I was told will be covered, can no longer be touched. Very frustrating. A good dealership will do what they say. More

Seamless and Professional from Start to Finish I recently purchased a 2019 BMW X3 M40i from BMW of Silver Spring. While all of the employees I encountered were highly professional, Max Moyer stood I recently purchased a 2019 BMW X3 M40i from BMW of Silver Spring. While all of the employees I encountered were highly professional, Max Moyer stood out from the group, and he was exceptional every step of the way. Max was always proactive, extremely friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about both BMWs overall, and my model in particular. He made very helpful recommendations, and assisted me in ordering a vehicle that exactly met my needs and wants. Most impressive was his ability to anticipate everything that was required during the purchase, and to always be ready and one step ahead of the process, including using the USAA Car Buying Service. I've purchased a lot of vehicles over the years, from modest to luxury vehicles, and Max is the best, most professional dealer I have ever worked with. His terrific interpersonal skills and no-pressure attitude kept me at BMW of Silver Spring rather than seeking out another dealer. Max made all the difference. I also appreciated being introduced to the service Director, finance manager, and others at the dealership, all of whom were terrific. This was a first-class experience. When I'm ready to buy again, or if I have any questions about my new BMW, I know that Max will be standing ready to go the extra mile to help. More

Excellent Service Experience Regular service visit (oil change, etc.) was handled quickly while I waited. Employees I worked with (see below) were very professional, friendly and Regular service visit (oil change, etc.) was handled quickly while I waited. Employees I worked with (see below) were very professional, friendly and efficient -- exactly what I would expect from a BMW dealership (and I'm a long-time BMW owner). Enjoyed talking to Ron Ptak who is a car enthusiast as well as a dealership employee and appreciated the extra effort in finding the correct oil for my 1994 BMW. More
