I had a situation with a wheel warranty that was supposed to be cancelled within my free look period. When I discovered it had not, Tammy stepped in and did what was needed to get me my credit applied, even to be cancelled within my free look period. When I discovered it had not, Tammy stepped in and did what was needed to get me my credit applied, even though it was well beyond the free look. I certainly appreciated her efforts. More

My father had a positive experience purchasing a 330ci from BMW of Sarasota in 2002. Therefore before purchasing my M3 I decided to take the car to them for a pre purchase inspection (PPI). I scheduled th from BMW of Sarasota in 2002. Therefore before purchasing my M3 I decided to take the car to them for a pre purchase inspection (PPI). I scheduled the PPI a week in advance, when the car was delivered they had no record of my appointment. I was charged $350 and told the car only needed maintenance in addition to repairs that I specifically pointed out to them. I like to DIY, so I decided to purchase the car, knowing that I can perform all the basic maintenance. Since taking possession of the vehicle I've discovered that the car has significant rust that is easily identifiable when the car is elevated. The previous owner told me that he installed HID fog light bulbs, resulting in dash warning lights. Turns out both bi-xenon lights are bad and the fogs are not the issue. When I elevated the car I found a cheap aftermarket ballast zip tied to the frame. I'm convinced they didn't even look at this car. I requested my PPI report on multiple occasions, I received nothing. I successfully disputed the credit card charge, but I lost $1000s repairing this car. John Tremble told that he personally inspected the under carriage while the car was on the lift ... I now know this was a completely dishonest statement. Do not have your car serviced here, especially if you didn't purchase a vehicle from them. More

BMW of Sarasota has sold and serviced 4 out of 6 BMW's I have enjoyed. My original service advisor was Eric Bacher who always attended to my needs in a very professional and friendly manner. If required, a have enjoyed. My original service advisor was Eric Bacher who always attended to my needs in a very professional and friendly manner. If required, a loaner car was always made available to me and service was always completed and washed as expected. Recently I have been assigned to John Tremblay in service who has equally treated me as if I was his only customer, keeping me informed on the status of my service. I have been buying cars from this dealer for 14 years and hope to contnue this relationship. M. Gurian More

Extremely satisfied w/the service department. John Tremblay was my contact from beginning to end. My baby was towed to the dealer (would not start) and John went the extra mile taking care of her - he Tremblay was my contact from beginning to end. My baby was towed to the dealer (would not start) and John went the extra mile taking care of her - he ensured timely diagnostics and cost estimate. When I picked my vehicle up (after repairs), John made sure he spoke to me personally and ensured I was completely satisfied. I was also able to speak to one of the technicians that worked on my car, which was immaculate when I got it back! No doubt I will return to BMW of Sarasota for servicing of my vehicle and highly recommends them. Great job John, thanks - am giving your card to a friend who needs his BMW serviced!!! More

John Tremblay was very informative, thorugh and professional. He provided excellent service and was curteous. Additionally, he apologized and tried to repair my feelings of displeasure when I was professional. He provided excellent service and was curteous. Additionally, he apologized and tried to repair my feelings of displeasure when I was at this dealership 2 weeks ago. At that time I had an appointment to have my yearly maintenance (I do not put alot of mileage on the car each year). When I arrived for my appt. another service person said that I could not have service for another 2 weeks although I was given an appointment over the phone. Of course the other sales man explained to me why (I needed two more weeks before my year was up) but he did not make me feel that he cared about my inconvenience. John certainly did feel my frustration today. My question is, when I called to make the appt, why is the person on the phone not looking in the computor to see if my year is up. My paperwork stated that I way there in May of 2010. So I should have been alright with my appt. Aparently not. This is not good business. More

John Tremblay was very nice and explained all my options to me. I have 2 different extended warranty plans and explained to me what each one covers, but if something needed to be done and it isn't covered, to me. I have 2 different extended warranty plans and explained to me what each one covers, but if something needed to be done and it isn't covered, he will call me and let me know the price BEFORE they do any work. I needed new front brakes - and it was all covered under my extended warranty. More
