BMW of Camarillo

I contacted Ryan Amico in November 2009 and informed him that I wanted to purchase a bigger vehicle. He gave me an idea of my options and related that I should contact him in January 2010. At the beginning that I wanted to purchase a bigger vehicle. He gave me an idea of my options and related that I should contact him in January 2010. At the beginning, of the year, I began discussing with Ryan, my options that were available. I had no idea that within a short span of time that a vehicle would arrive that I truly liked. Ryan is an awesome person, not just a salesman. He made me feel extremely comfortable in purchasing another a vehicle (I was torn in getting rid of my previous BMW)and I felt no pressure. He took his time in explaining everything to me. He is a very patient and knowledgeable person. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to purchase another vehicle from Steve Thomas. More so, I am elated that I had Ryan to assist me through this process. I definitely will visit this dealership again! An extremely satisfied customer, Michelle A. More

I launched an aggressive campaign for a new car in late December of 2009 and reached out to 40-50 dealerships across 3 high end brands. Though the BMW brand and it's competition retain a strong amount of December of 2009 and reached out to 40-50 dealerships across 3 high end brands. Though the BMW brand and it's competition retain a strong amount of prestige and brand equity, the car dealership stereotypes and tactics that we all know and love still hold true. Then you go to Steve Thomas BMW where perception of the car buying experience is blown out of the water. For me, what set the Steve Thomas BMW team apart from every other dealership is the quality of people I worked with. Couple this with the fact they beat the best deal on the market and this was THE BEST car buying experience for me and THE BEST experience my friends have ever heard of. Erik Schroeder was my initial contact. He was flexible and willing to work with me to ensure that both sides got an equitable deal. The day I went to pick up my car, I came in earlier than expected and to make sure I didn't have to wait he helped out his staff in prepping the car. That was above and beyond my expectations and truly appreciated. Though I never met Chris Knutson, he answered all of my questions over the phone. This took place towards closing time and never once did I feel rushed. His answers were very thorough and value added. I worked with Ryan Amico to close the deal and it was the smoothest discussion I've ever been a part of. Up front, honest, and very fair. Very helpful. After the deal was closed Ryan took the time to show my Dad how the I-drive worked. This is something my Dad spoke highly of, because he's never experienced this level of service. No pressure. No ego. No games. Extremely helpful service/assistance. The ST's team's main goal was to make sure that I was as comfortable as possible and ensure that all my needs were met. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They're simply levels above other dealerships and an example to be followed. I strongly recommend that you not waste your time with anyone else. They pro-actively maintain an open line of communication for anything and everything after I drove off the lot. For me, the 80 mile one way commute to close the deal was worth every second. The next car I buy will be another BMW and it will be from Steve Thomas because of the exceptional customer experience provided by Erik, Chris, and Ryan. Ask for them and they'll take care of you.

I recently leased a 2010 X5 xDrive35d with Chris Knutson. This is my second lease at Steve Thomas and Chris also leased me my 335 coupe in 2007. I live in the San Fernando Valley and, of course, there are This is my second lease at Steve Thomas and Chris also leased me my 335 coupe in 2007. I live in the San Fernando Valley and, of course, there are many dealers to choose from. But Steve Thomas BMW -- and Chris in particular -- is hands down the best! My wife and I are BMW enthusiasts, so Chris is the person we turn to anytime we are in the market. The process is simple; Chris is no-nonsense and gives you the best deal available. He's patient, answers all your questions, and keeps you regularly updated with the status of your car. (Both leases were special builds, built to my specs, so Chris keeps you well-informed of your purchase). Not enough good things to say. Professional, easy to work with and customer focused. I've been really happy with Steve Thomas and highly recommend them if your looking for a great deal and EXCELLENT service. More

This is my 3rd BMW lease so I know a lot about BMW and their dealerships. First I want to make it a point to advise you to STAY AWAY from Bob Smith BMW (located in Calabasas, CA). The folks at Bob Smi their dealerships. First I want to make it a point to advise you to STAY AWAY from Bob Smith BMW (located in Calabasas, CA). The folks at Bob Smith BMW are the biggest "bait and switch" BMW dealership in the country! I am not the only one who feels this way, Bob Smith BMW is on Rip Off Report (http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/Bob-SMith-BMW.aspx) for their bad dealings with other customers. I can write an entire book on why to STAY AWAY from Bob Smith BMW, however, I am not one to focus on the negative (so lets get started with my positive experience). If you want the BEST PRICE and a salesmen to treat you like a Family Member, chose Ryan Amico at Steve Thomas BMW (located in Camarillo, CA). Even if you are not located by their dealership, they will safely ship the car to YOUR home (if you want)! When I say BEST PRICE, I truly mean that. He will beat any price offered by any BMW Dealership. In fact, in my case he beat the price by saving me a few hundred dollars per month! That is right... a few hundred dollars per month! The bottom line, Ryan Amico is the KING of all BMW Dealerships! You can contact Ryan Amico via e-mail at RAmico_SteveThomasBMW@gs.reyrey.com OR call his dealership at 866-545-3128 (when calling, MAKE SURE to ask for Ryan Amico). Thank You Ryan Amico!!! More

I leased my second new 5 series recently from Steve Thomas BMW. I went to them this time around because the price was simply the lowest and they found the exact car I wanted. However, when I went to p Thomas BMW. I went to them this time around because the price was simply the lowest and they found the exact car I wanted. However, when I went to pick up my new car, I was even more impressed with the service and the way I was treated. Ryan Amico was professional, knowledgeable, fast, thorough, and overall just great to work with. I was out of the dealership in no time. The process at Steve Thomas was hassle-free. We have all had our nightmare car purchasing experiences, and this was as far from that as possible. The finance dept. was just as great. Jim Martinez got the paperwork done really quickly, and didn't even try to sell me a single gimmick or extra package/service. We all know how annoying the finance dept. can be at a dealership - but Jim was excellent and very professional. I highly recommend you contact Ryan at Steve Thomas BMW when considering getting your next vehicle - you will not be disappointed. More

This was my first experience buying a BMW. I inquired about a 330i on their website and received a response immediately from Ryan Amico, their Internet Sales Manager. I stopped by the dealership that ev about a 330i on their website and received a response immediately from Ryan Amico, their Internet Sales Manager. I stopped by the dealership that evening and met with Ryan. From the start, I felt like I had know him for years. He had already had the car brought up to side of the show room and ready for me to look at and test drive. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the vehicle and shared his own personal experiences with his vehicles. Throughout the whole process, he made me feel comfortable about the decision to purchase the vehicle. I wasn't able to get the car that evening and returned the next day with my parents. He went over the entire car again for their benefit. My parents were impressed with him as well. I never felt pressured by him in any way. He truly cared about my needs and concerns. I have bought multiple cars before and have never received the treatment I did at Steve Thomas. Every employee I met was very friendly, courteous and professional from the sales staff, financing and service staff. The day after purchasing the car, I received an email from Ryan wanting to know if everything was ok with the car. I had never received a follow up email or call from any other dealership before so I was very surprised by his. A few days later, I stopped by the dealership again to pick up an owner's manual. I told him that I hadn't been able to synch my Blackberry with the Bluetooth. He personally walked me right over to a service consultant and had the phone connected within seconds. I know that when I am ready to purchase another BMW, I will be heading to Steve Thomas and would recommend Ryan to anyone I know who is looking for a BMW. Shane I. Oxnard, CA More
