I came into BMW for a scheduled Oil Change and possibly tires. I was told an oil change would be approximately $265. Which I was fine with, however, when we got to the desk with the service rep, he came tires. I was told an oil change would be approximately $265. Which I was fine with, however, when we got to the desk with the service rep, he came up with a total of over $1850 for what my SUV NEEDED. I have 52,400 miles. I questioned how an oil change can turn into that much money, and was told this is how I keep my car running great. My husband showed up and got several items removed and the cost was brought down to $1300. Mind you, my SUV is in perfect shape, all the computer told me was I needed an oil changed. So we agreed to get the service thinking that it was necessary per what the service rep stated. Well I got home and checked my BMW maintenance schedule and found that I didn't need spark plugs until my SUV hit 60,000 miles, nor did I need the 2 filters I was told I needed since they had already been done previously. My husband went down to BMW to stop them from doing all the unnecessary items within less than 1 hour, and was told the mechanic was already working on the SUV. Too late. I have owned 3 BMWs and have been coming to SLO BMW for many years for vehicles and service. This is the first time I have felt completely taken advantage of, like I was dealing with a USED CAR SALESMAN. I spent $1000 more than I should have. On another note, if my SUV was already on the racks being worked on and we couldn't modify our service request, why did I drop it off at 9am and never received a call that it was done until my husband called after 4pm? I will never come back to SLO BMW for service, which is sad as we own a home here, I went to college here and my husband was born and raised here. It is an absolute shame to take advantage of people. You've lost 2 customers along with all our family and friends we will be spreading the word to. More

Parts couldn’t fix my spoiler on my brand new car that was falling off. Three different appointments and still couldn’t. Hilariously sad. Anyway, service manager wouldn’t do anything about the overspray I was falling off. Three different appointments and still couldn’t. Hilariously sad. Anyway, service manager wouldn’t do anything about the overspray I found and the calcium deposit on the rear window, indicating repairs. On a brand “new” car. Sold new damaged goods. The last straw was when Tony Vital, a SA, tried charging me $2,800 or so on a part that was supposedly causing my front left tires toe measurement to be off. So it was driving pretty bad. Tony tried to pull a fast one. I know he gets a cut. I of course didn’t go through with it. Found the part online for $398. Some lack character and respect, nothing new. BMW makes amazing cars, it’s a shame some people cannot have ownership of one without the ill advised tactics used by the places that sell them. All they do is sell them, that’s it. At least in my experience. Hope this helps someone. More

Although our service appointment was not properly scheduled/documented (by a coworker) Karen caught the error and stepped in to make sure our appointment was not only secured but at a more convenient time without changing the service date. She handled this error most professionally without causing us any inconvenience. We can not say enough on how impressed we are with her handling of our service schedule. Respectfully, Steve & Lisa Hoctor More
