I originally bought my X3 at a different dealer but ended up getting it serviced at Laurel because of the location. I'm glad I did because their service department is top notch. Actually, because of the se up getting it serviced at Laurel because of the location. I'm glad I did because their service department is top notch. Actually, because of the service quality I was getting there, we ended up leasing a vehicle from this dealer as well. Mike Powalski is my service advisor and he gives first class service. He is professional, friendly, and truly cares about his clients. He will go above and beyond for you. I can always stop in when I need to and I know my car will always be taken care of. It's a great feeling to go to a service department you trust, knowing that your car will be fixed or serviced properly. Courtesy vehicles are always available. Mike is hands down the best advisor I have worked with at any dealer. Our lease is up soon and we are considering buying another BMW from Laurel Westmont, not only because of the great experiences we have had with the sales department, but especially because of the service department. If you have a car serviced at any other dealers, especially other makes of vehicles, I'm sure you know that appointment set-ups and courtesy vehicles can be difficult to set up, and sometimes impossible at short notice. I've learned that your service advisors and service department should be a big factor in your vehicle lease/purchase. It is inevitable that your car will need service, whether it's oil changes, new tires, or non-routine work. You need to know that you can go somewhere where you can work with people you trust and actually enjoy seeing. We currently have that trust and relationship with Mike Powalski and the Laurel BMW service department, and we want to keep it that way for a very long time. More
If you wish to be treated poorly by an uneducated service staff, this is the dealer for you. I have a 328i convertible that was chewing up my rear tiles. I took my car to this dealership over an 18 month p staff, this is the dealer for you. I have a 328i convertible that was chewing up my rear tiles. I took my car to this dealership over an 18 month period and they could not fix the problem. At one point I was told by the service department that they were able to confirm that my rear tires were wearing out faster than my front tires, with the right rear wearing out faster than the left. I was also told that they had no idea why this was happening. Instead of trying to find a solution for me, they sent me away. There was nothing they could do I was told. Within three months, my rear tires were worn down to slicks. They had only 4,000 miles on them. When I took the car back again, I was finally told the car was way out of alignment and this was the problem all along. It took them a year and a half to figure that out. Under the circumstances, I thought it only fair that they would pay for my rear tires. Not a chance. A brutal experience. Do yourself a favor, and stay away from Westmont BMW. More
I've got a 2007 335xi with some serious miles on it. I’ve had my car at Laurel on a number of occasions over the years ranging from standard service to warrantee service to post warrantee repairs. This I’ve had my car at Laurel on a number of occasions over the years ranging from standard service to warrantee service to post warrantee repairs. This is the only place I bring it; a dealership rather than a stealership. Great customer service, great loaner car availability, quality work, and you don’t feel like you got sold a bunch of stuff you didn’t need. BMW repairs aren’t cheap, but I trust these guys. I do some work on my own and research issues that go wrong, so I am reasonably well informed. Take your car here, buy it from here. A great place. More
Great purchase experience on 2013 X3 35i in 5/2012. Lousy service experience in response to periodic driver door vibration(over bumps)and excessive driver door wind noise (> 40 mph). Twice the dealer Lousy service experience in response to periodic driver door vibration(over bumps)and excessive driver door wind noise (> 40 mph). Twice the dealer was unable or unwilling to fix the issue, stating it's "normal" for BMW X3's to have wind noise. Maybe so, but I won't be buying another BMW if they are known for excessive wind noise and weak door stability. Looking for a quieter vehicle with more structural integrity. More
DO NOT GO HERE FOR SERVICE! Brought my 03 3.0i X5 in for an Oil Service today 3/8/12 @ 12:56pm. The Service agent, Mike Powalski, was nice enough to converse with me about the service I needed and proceeded an Oil Service today 3/8/12 @ 12:56pm. The Service agent, Mike Powalski, was nice enough to converse with me about the service I needed and proceeded to type up my service contract. I advised Mr. Powalski that during cold starts I hear a definite low whine coming from under the hood and when I turn the steering wheel. I asked if they could take a look at the power steering system and see if it was just a matter of topping off the power steering fluid reservoir and if it was just that that they would not charge me for this service. Mr. Powalski stated to me that I would not be charged for them checking the power steering system and to top off my power steering fluid. On my service contract receipt, there is a clear charge for labor of $65.00 for them checking the power steering system. Mr. Powalski also stated to me that I could either just have a standard oil change done or I could do a complete oil maintenance service, which I opted for. We confirmed what services were to be performed for the complete oil maintenance service which is supposed to include: Synthetic Oil service, Oil filter replacement, Cabin Micro-Filter Replacement, & New Wiper Blade Replacement. I asked Mr. Powalski about how long this type of service would take. He candidly said to me up to an hour and 45 minutes at the very most. Mind you, I came in at 12:56pm and after going through the whole process of putting together my service order, it was already 1:30pm. I contacted my office to let them know I would be late returning from lunch because of this service would most likely take longer than expected. So I waited in the "waiting area" patiently and happily for my vehicle to be processed, worked on, completed, and returned to me. After the clock turned 2:15pm I realized that this service was going to take even longer than I expected. At around 2:30pm Mr. Powalski returned and started taking me through a long list of their "recommended services," all of which I declined, because I ONLY WANTED THE STANDARD OIL MAINTENANCE SERVICE." Mr. Powalski, stated at that point that he would go ahead and get my car ready to go in just a few minutes. It was now 2:45pm and my car was still nowhere yet to be seen. I asked the service counter ladies if they could get me an E.T.A. on my car. By the way, and just a heads up, I found it quite rude that they refer to their patiently waiting customers, "waitiers," as in "this guy has been waiting for his car." At about 2:50pm Mr. Powalski shows up again and sheepishly looks at me and says that my car and paperwork will be ready in 5-10 minutes and he promptly leaves, without so much as an apology for the long delay in service. On top of how long and how rude everyone was being, I still was asked to pay the $358.01 charge for this service. I was then asked to wait in the vehicle delivery area for my car as it was now being washed. at 3:15pm I finally got my car back and was able to drive away from this terrible place. I will never EVER go back here for service. Mr. Powalski obviously did not have any idea of how long a standard Oil Maintenance Service would take. He obviously was only trying to get me to pay for their overly expensive "recommended services" and even though he told me that I wouldn't be charged for them inspecting my car's power steering system, they still charged me a labor fee of $65. They also did not provide new wiper inserts for my vehicle, (my winter ones that I purchased from Autozone are still on the car). On top of all this, Mr. Powalski, did not even leave with me, a copy of their recommended services ( a dealer receipt with your dealer coding is not sufficient enough for me to be able to determine what services I really do need), and at the height of rudeness, I did not get an apology from Mr. Powalski for the impingement on my time. DO NOT GO HERE FOR SERVICE! More
Once you actually get your car to a service manager this dealership does a great job. However virtually everyone who is a cashier or answers the phone is rude and incompetent. Get ready to be put on indef dealership does a great job. However virtually everyone who is a cashier or answers the phone is rude and incompetent. Get ready to be put on indefinitely hold or hung up on...again and again. It is like they intentionally want you to go away. The attitude is you are bothering me. As opposed to charging my credit card correctly for $469 they charged me $4967. Once I realized the mistake I called and....you guessed it....first call they hung up on me....second call indefinite hold. Third call, spoke with the cashier, she was too busy to talk to me but promised to call back. No call back. So I called over an hour later and she responded "I guess you just have to bring your paperwork back in". This is not one incident but I have had several that are similar. Service your BMW elsewhere.

I've purchased several vehicles from this dealership after switching from another BMW dealership much closer to my home. The sales and financial team as well as the service department provide a top-n after switching from another BMW dealership much closer to my home. The sales and financial team as well as the service department provide a top-notch, detail oriented and thorough experience not seen elsewhere. All concerns are addressed and there is terrific follow through and follow-up. Highly recommended. More
I brought my '08 X5 4.8 in because the tailgate would not open. The service department said it needed a part and that the car would be ready the following day. The following day I was never contacted about open. The service department said it needed a part and that the car would be ready the following day. The following day I was never contacted about the status of my car. The day after that, I tried calling the service department and just kept getting transferred to other people or to voicemail. Everyone I talked to was rude and unwilling to help. I wasn't demanding my car or anything, I just wanted an update as to when it would be ready. Finally I said I wanted to speak with the service manager. Naturally, they transferred me to his voicemail. His message said that he was out of town for the weekend. Don't you think employees of this place should no whether or not the service MANAGER is even working that day. Four or five days later my car was finally ready. I had to call BMW, they did not call me. When I picked up the car the tailgate STILL did not open! I took the car across the street to the Porsche dealership and traded it for a 2011 Cayenne S. To spend 90k on a car and be treated the way I was is reprehensible. I will NEVER buy a car from any Laurel dealership again. More
