BMW of The Woodlands - Service Center

Worst experience ever with BMW of The Woodlands - from someone who has been driving BMW's for the past 12 years, and who currently owns 4. I would avoid this dealership at all cost. Took our 2017 X5 in fo someone who has been driving BMW's for the past 12 years, and who currently owns 4. I would avoid this dealership at all cost. Took our 2017 X5 in for service after the check engine light came on. We were given a loaner and left the car for service. A few days later the service advisor called to tell us that there was a problem with the fuel injectors and that they needed to order parts. A few days later the service advisor called and told us that while they were fixing the fuel injectors a tool that they were using broke and part of the tool ended up in one of the cylinders and that they needed to take the engine apart to retrieve the broken part. Several days later we were told that the car was ready. My wife picked up the car, drove less than 6 miles and the engine light came on. She immediately returned the car to the shop. When she arrived, the service advisor told her that they found a chip in the windshield of the loaner car and that we needed to replace the windshield on the loaner car. They gave here the same loaner car while they again repaired our X5. The service advisor called the next day, informed us that the service technician had not connected some vacuum lines correctly, but the car was ready and we could pick it up, however they would not release our car to us until we gave them an insurance claim number for the windshield on the loaner car. It was late in the day and our insurance broker was no longer in the office so we were able to get a claim number. The service manager was extremely rude, yelled at my wife and told her that he did not care where our broker was that she needed to call the insurance company directly and get the claim number before they would release our car. The next day, my wife went to the shop with the claim number and was told that they would not release our car if she did not pay $1,000 for the windshield - which they believed was our insurance deductible. State Farm, our insurance carrier was absolutely incredible during this entire excruciating experience and told us that there was no deductible and that they had already paid the claim the dealer made. State Farm is working with BMW of The Woodlands to get our $1,000 back. SHAME ON BMW NORTH AMERICA for working with this dealership and SHAME SHAME SHAME on The Woodlands BMW for their rude, unprofessional, and unacceptable service. More

Service My check engine light has been on for some time.

I've had a diagnostic done and everything has come back clear, leaving only the fuel injectors as the source. it's obvious that the fuel injectors need to be replaced because every other issue has been cleared. The dealer has had my car 3 days short of a month. I've called the dealership and the only response I got was to be patient. There's a warranty for the fuel injectors which leads me to believe that they are either waiting for it to run out or they're not working on my vehicle because I'm not paying out of pocket. Whatever the issue is I'm extremely disappointed and I will never ever return to this dealership. I'm not one to go to corporate but in this instance I don't think I have much of a choice.. More

Horrible Expierence This is going to be long but please read the entire review to see all the issues that I had! So I will start from the beginning. No we did not buy th This is going to be long but please read the entire review to see all the issues that I had! So I will start from the beginning. No we did not buy the car from this dealership. Yes we bought our car used and because of this we DID purchase an extended warranty. I have work in the service department of a dealership and I know how much all dealerships hate the extended warranties. But for peace of mind since the car had already gone out of the regular warranty, I purchased it! With this being said, the car has been a great car, but living in Texas.....You have to have an AC that works! I was proactive and actually called the extended warranty company to make sure that all the right steps were taken so we did not waist anyone's time. So I called and scheduled an appointment for that Saturday. I pulled into this BMW of The Woodlands early on Saturday & the service writer that was there to help me. She told me that they would probably need to keep my car until the following week. I told her that that would be fine but I would defiantly need a car to drive because I would have to go to work on Monday. She told me that they were out of loaners at that time, but would call me as soon as one arrived. Saturday evening before they closed I called to see if a loaner had been returned. She told me yes and I could come & pick it up. (I had to call, she did not call me as she said she would! Like I said I have worked in the business so I understand getting busy & I realize I am not the only customer. So I let it slide!) I dropped my car off on Saturday August 5. I received a text stating my car was ready to be picked up on Thursday August 10 (could not get there until Monday) Then Friday I received another text stating that they need another day & asked me to pick it up Tuesday instead. I agreed. (Great they are really taking their time & going to get it fixed!) I picked it up on Tuesday August 15 about 6pm, it was already running so my AC was blowing cold!! I paid my deductible for the warranty! When I left I looked at the paper of what the technician wrote. Next to compressor ..... last resort (was written). Ok great they did not have to replace the compressor. The next morning (Wednesday)I left my house at 7:30am. It took 8 minutes for my AC to blow cold air. I sent a message to the service writer to let her know. So she sent a message to the technician & then asked me to bring the car back in and assured me that I would have another loaner ready. I told her it would be later that day but I would defiantly be there. At 12:30 I was walking out of work to take my car and received a text message stating that they were out of loaners. She told me that I could "technically" leave my car but she did not have a loaner for me and did not have one scheduled to come back in until the following Monday! On Thursday at 9:30 in the morning I receive a message stating that there is a loaner that I can come get. So at lunch on August 17, I went and dropped my car off. On September 5, I receive a message stating that my car is ready to be picked up. (They had to change the "last resort" Compressor!) I went at 12:45 to pick it up. I received a message stating she was at lunch and "And there's no balance because you already paid your deductible". So I got my car and left! The following day at 8:38 in the morning, I receive a message, "Hey can u please call me", so I do! The conversation started out, I'm sorry but I need you to come in and pay another deductible.....I told her ABSOLUTLY NOT! She said that the extended warranty would not pay the deductible. I told her the issue was not fixed the 1st time, so that is there issue. She told me that they had to open another ticket because the first one was closed out. So this created another claim with the warranty company. (AGAIN, NOT MY PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT FIXED AND THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME THE CAR BACK!) Them that evening I get home and my door handle is broken! (My door handles you have to lift up to open the door! (Apparently that was not told to the people that worked there because they were pulling out!) I paid out of pocket to fix that! My husband was looking at the car 2 weeks ago because I am now loosing coolant and noticed that the reservoir is cracked and noticed one of the hoses were barely on, so he fixed it! This morning I am on my way to work the safety mode light comes on and my car dies in the middle of the intersection! My husband get there......ANOTHER HOSE HAD COME OFF AND IT WAS A SCREW THAT WAS LOOSE ON THE CLAMP!!!! Coincidence???? ABSOLUTLY NOT! They loosened things when they were fixing my AC and never tightened them back. I will NEVER step foot at this dealership and I would not recommend them to anyone!!! Drive to HOUSTON!!!! More

Ashley B in the loaner car department, her customer service is not that of a people person, her personality is awful. It makes the overall experience terrible. I will never visit that dealership again service is not that of a people person, her personality is awful. It makes the overall experience terrible.
