Worst customer service ever. bought a car from them and a week later we tried to trade it back in for something bigger. We love the car but my wife is having back surgery so it w bought a car from them and a week later we tried to trade it back in for something bigger. We love the car but my wife is having back surgery so it was uncomfortable for her. They wanted to give us $5,000.00 less than what we bought it for even though we didn't even put 250 miles on it in 7 days. They said the car was only worth a certain amount. I sent proof the car was worth more than that. They didn't want to work with us in a situation that was unforeseeable. If you want to buy a BMW go to Austin or Dallas but this place is a xxxxhole and everyone working there is trash. They will definitely screw you and not care. More

This rating only applies to the service department, which is the absolute worst ever. They try to sell you unnecessary services, do not communicate among themselves. They do not inform you the status of your is the absolute worst ever. They try to sell you unnecessary services, do not communicate among themselves. They do not inform you the status of your vehicle in a timely manner. They do not return phone calls. I was just getting an inspection and warranty work, so they the treated me like last month’s garbage. This is my second BMW. They soil the BMW name. They are a complete disgrace. More
Garlyn Shelton BMW of Temple has the worst Service Dept. I have ever seen. Was there 6 hours to get a set of tires put on, an alignment and to have a bulb changed. Burned a whole vacation day sitting at t I have ever seen. Was there 6 hours to get a set of tires put on, an alignment and to have a bulb changed. Burned a whole vacation day sitting at the dealership waiting. Everyone else in the waiting room was complaining about the same thing. Always have to wait forever to get anything done. What's the point of having an appointment when you're going to be there at least a half a day. Not a happy customer. Will find somewhere else to have my BMW serviced. Veronica is the lady who checked me in and she was very nice. She had no control over the people in the service shop. More
The hallmark to any premier business which serves the public is the customer service approach. The BMW vehicles are a world class brand that sells themselves largely based on legacy of the brand and sta public is the customer service approach. The BMW vehicles are a world class brand that sells themselves largely based on legacy of the brand and status of ownership. However, the fickleness of the current customer marker and the attentiveness of the customer service they receive will either drive a customer past your dealership to your closest competition, or outright loose them to another brand. I believe your customer maintenance service advisor, Ms. Veronica Menchaca display three attributes: first impression, real-time updates, and last impression greatly contributes to Garlyn Shelton BMW Temple 100% customer satisfaction and a strong customer return. 1. First Impression (friendly demeanor): Veronica presents a calming friendly demeanor; she welcomes the customer with an attentive disposition, and one of confidence. German automobile customers can be very indecisive and moreover, very demanding to the point of aggressively-rude. Veronica disarms this energy with her calming professional responsive disposition. Her energy can determine whether a customer will provide repeat business, or not. It’s due to her attentiveness—even while my X5 maintenance issue(s) were at the worst state—I will be a returning customer. 2. Real-Time update: Veronica kept me abreast of my vehicle status at every turn. She informed me of the recommended maintenance options, while still keeping in mind the importance of having the initial maintenance issue resolved. Her approach never appear overbearing, she explained with professionalism and empathy, the need for the recommended service options, yet, kept an emotional space in recognizing that my vehicle service may entail several days. Throughout the hours that I spent--more than I was will to--she thoroughly explained the shortage of loaner vehicles, and her future actions in ensuring how she will procure the next available if my vehicle will be down for a length of time. I was disappointed. I am one of the fickle owners; I spent a significant premium for my X5. Having a loaner vehicle was part of the premium. However, due to Veronica’s energy and how she owned her comment with authority, specifically, as general manager would, I accepted her contrite reasons on the situation. 3. Last Impression: How we started is how we ended; a mutual beneficial exchange that benefitted the customer, and represented your dealership. Since the vehicle was drivable and there were no available loaners, I decided to return home and not leaved the vehicle parked at the dealership for an unknown period of time waiting on the parts. Veronica, kept me updated on the parts in transit visibility and my options. The final tipping point came in the middle of the night (Friday) when the vehicle alarm started and did not stop until the battery was “dead.” I immediately called Veronica the next business day (Monday) and explained the issue of the inoperable vehicle and getting it back to the dealership at my own expense. She explained the road side assistance warranty, and how she will have the vehicle repaired and returned to my home after completion. Her actions really calmed some stressful days. She kept my wife updated on all maintenance actions and when the vehicle was completed and en route back to me. This one lasting impression probably sealed the deal for my return business to Garlyn Shelton BMW Temple. I am a little off kilter when it comes to the availability of loaner vehicles; however, I am confident, barring some maintenance issues that will cause a lengthy stay in your service department, that Veronica will have my vehicle back within a few hours. I am strongly recommending that Veronica Menchaca receive your highest and most prestigious award, and moreover, a position of greater responsibility that involves a monetary promotion and supervisory status. I firmly believe that employees subordinate to her will enhance your customer satisfaction and drive your customer return business skyward. Sincerely, Marvin More

I live out of town and I explained I’m limited on time and didn’t have any to waste. Waited months for a white X7. Set an appointment, for opening time to go look at one they just got in. WhenI got there and didn’t have any to waste. Waited months for a white X7. Set an appointment, for opening time to go look at one they just got in. WhenI got there they said they just sold the vehicle. But they didn’t tell me right away instead they wasted my time trying to convince me to buy a more expensive grey one. Then the salesman kept trying to treat me like a first time buyer.. asking me where do I want my payments at. I asked the salesman specific questions and he answered non. He gave me an high apr with an insane amount of months without even running my credit. I informed him I had perfect credit and I also informed that the website stated a way lower interest rate. He made all kinds of excuses on why that rate was lower. And at the end came with the offer of the lower interest rate. It was very disappointing and a waste of my time. If they contacted me and told me the White X7 sold I would have never made the trip. I do not recommend this dealership. More
