This business is in my opinion is not a Hispanic consumer friendly business. To say that I was racially profiled by the sales manager Terry Herrera is putting it lightly and trying to be polite because I k friendly business. To say that I was racially profiled by the sales manager Terry Herrera is putting it lightly and trying to be polite because I know this is a public site. But I feel that other consumers need to know that, before visiting this establishment. I am Very disappointed with my recent experience here at this dealership. I'd leased a BMW here a few years back and the customer service in my opinion was the best at that time. Well I must say that a lot sure has changed for the worse since then. I went in this past weekend and found an X5 that I planned on purchasing but after dealing with the sales Manager Terry Herrera and the shockingly horrible customer service she gave me yesterday I don't believe I'll ever be returning to this dealership for a vehicle. After working out all the financial details throughout the day with her I was given an appointment by Terry to be at the dealership at 6:30. I arrived at the dealer on time and was told to have a seat and they were gonna be right with me. I waited an hour past my appointment time and I decided to ask how much longer it was going to be and Terry said that there were people placed in front of me for financing who didn't have appointments. (People I was told had literally walked in right before me and just happen to be Caucasian) Terry made a point of saying "well haven't you ever bought a car before? " Like that was supposed to help me understand why she placed people ahead of me with no appointment and then expect me to wait 4-5 hours to be seen. This was a very disappointing experience when all I was there for was to complete the financing paper work and give my down payment. All the details had already been worked out. Her customer service was beyond horrible. So as I walked out the building to leave I looked back and Terry was talking to one of the customer that she placed ahead of me and was laughing and appeared to me mocking me. It Feels sad to say that I was made to feel like I was placed at the end of the line because I was Mexican. Never been treated that way before at a business and it was a real eye opener. I don't recommend coming to this dealership for car buying and especially if you're of Hispanic decent. I doubt I'm the first customer Terry has treated this way. More
I don't appreciate the rude customer service given by Robert Sayasit. I was patiently waiting in line for service and Robert overlooked me to help the man behind me. I was wearing a plain t-shirt and sho Robert Sayasit. I was patiently waiting in line for service and Robert overlooked me to help the man behind me. I was wearing a plain t-shirt and shorts. The man behind me was wearing a slack pant and button up. To ignore and overlook me is discrimination. When Robert finally decided to help me at the instruction of his manager, he was very disrespectful and was not consistent with the information given to me when I made the appointment. When I made the appointment via telephone, I requested a loaner vehicle (to get back and forth to work). I was told that one would be available for me when I brought the car in. I was told by Robert that recall services do not get a loaner car. He also told me that the service would take longer than a day when I was originally told it would take a few hours. The recall service is urgent to protect my safety as I'm driving the car. Robert turned me away because he didn't want to give me a loaner car. More

Terrible experience with McKenna BMW finance office On May 21, 2017, I purchased a 2015 BMW X5 and a BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade (MPU) from McKenna BMW, in Norwalk, California. In September 2019, I On May 21, 2017, I purchased a 2015 BMW X5 and a BMW Maintenance Program Upgrade (MPU) from McKenna BMW, in Norwalk, California. In September 2019, I was planning to sell the X5, I called McKenna BMW to find out how to cancel the MPU. I was told to make a written request, send it to their finance office, and they would process a refund. On November 4, 2019, I submitted my request in person at McKenna BMW, to Markus Jahr who said that the refund could take as long as ninety days to process. In February 2020, I contacted McKenna BMW to check on the status of the refund. I was told that the request for a refund had not been made and that I needed to provide proof of the sale of my X5. On February 7, 2020, I submitted my request for cancellation again, with the requested proof of sale, to Michael Williamson at McKenna BMW. In April, I was told that BMW USA refuses to process the refund. BMW USA states that refunds will not be made, "after selling, trading-in or otherwise surrendering possession," of the vehicle. This information appears on the second page of the contract, the page not provided at the time of sale. At the time of purchase, the McKenna BMW finance representative provided a copy of only page one of the two-page BMW MPU Agreement. At that time, I was unaware that the information about cancellation is on a second page not provided by the finance representative. The contract states, "Center must provide one complete, signed original contract to Customer at the time of sale." The failure of the McKenna BMW finance representative to provide me with a complete copy of the contract is what has caused this situation, and is a breech of the contract by McKenna BMW. More
Excellent Experience with McKenna! Kevin Lam, my salesperson at McKenna and his Manager Steve Majick worked together to help me find and order my new BMW. I take my current BMW there fo Kevin Lam, my salesperson at McKenna and his Manager Steve Majick worked together to help me find and order my new BMW. I take my current BMW there for service and always had an excellent experience so when it became time to get a new one, I reached out. I went with Kevin because after visiting several other dealerships, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the vehicle I was interested in, he listened to me, he indulged my need for detailed information and he worked with me on a way to get exactly what I wanted at a price that no other dealer came close to. I am very impressed with Kevin and Steve. I greatly appreciate their demeanor, attention to what I wanted, and their responsiveness to my endless questions. I will update this review after my vehicle arrives (hopefully in a few weeks now that the plant is reopening next week) and I take delivery. Thank you guys! I think you are great! Shout out to Lina in service too! She has always been wonderful when I was in for service! More
Kevin Lam salesman has screwed up our BMW experience as we’ve been BMW loyalists for a decade. What a way to represent BMW! Shame on him! Kevin Lam is the worst, rudest, unprofessional staff we've ever enc we’ve been BMW loyalists for a decade. What a way to represent BMW! Shame on him! Kevin Lam is the worst, rudest, unprofessional staff we've ever encountered in BMW history, period. He himself doesn't even know the price and the worth of the cars yet is there sitting there trying to JUDGE our knowledge. We've done research before coming in so we know what we want and what we're looking for. And please, don't be picking up calls in front of us and taking ur sweet time to talk to them on the phone, then proceeding to use the computer in front of us, as if we don't exist. xxx???? this dude is a JOKE! At least have the decency to step away and do what u gotta do away from our sight. We left right away and the next day got the car at another dealership. Glad we took our money and time elsewhere. Ain't got time to waste it with useless rude people. More
Inconsistent Service and Information I wanted to write a complaint to BMW North America and wherever I can write complaint to correct how Mckenna treat customers, but I decided to start f I wanted to write a complaint to BMW North America and wherever I can write complaint to correct how Mckenna treat customers, but I decided to start from here. I made an appt for Friday(9/27) for my fog light malfunction notice. One of the representative checked the vehicle and let us know the detail of our warranty. Maintenance warranty expired at 36k mileage, but the fog light might be under the regular warranty 50k mileage as long as it wasn't due to any damage. I completely understand how the warranty works so I let him know it's fine. He let me know that I can pick up the car the next day (Saturday) and offered to provide UBER ride. I unfortunately needed to get the car back on Friday, so decided to reschedule for Saturday morning. Something came up and I couldn't go on Saturday, but rescheduled for Monday(9/30). When I got there, Claudia helped me and she checked the vehicle and let me know the same warranty detail other representative told me, so I let her know that I understand the coverage. The main difference was that she went to check with the Service Manager Armando and told me due to some damage under the fog light, in order to run the diagnostic I would have to pay $95, and if the malfunction was not due to damage, I wouldn't have to pay. When I let Claudia know that previous representative didn't need me to pay that $95 to run diagnostic and the only reason I didn't leave the car was due to needing the vehicle on the same day. She then tells me that he might haven't seen the damage, and that diagnostics are usually $180 but I'm only doing it for $95 in case it was due to damage. I was so upset with their service and asked for the manager's business card, and he didn't even come out to explain or give the card himself. There are closer BMW around where I live, but I went to Mckenna, because that's where I purchased my vehicle, but this service made me realize they are not consistent with their service, and seems like they try to charge customers every penny they can. The scratch below the fog light is noticeable, but the first representative was willing to do the checkup and let me know if it's covered under the warranty, but Claudia / Armando wanted to charge $95 for just doing the checkup before even finding out if it was covered under the warranty or not. Funny thing is I just came to BMW in Buena Park where it's closer to my house, and they are checking my car as well as fixing the fog light. Much more friendly service, and the manager is actually on the floor checking with his employees and customers to make sure they are getting treated right. Much different environment then Mckenna where the manager is just in his office. Hope this review helps Mckenna give better service to other customers moving forward. More
wrong info from finance department I bought a 428 from Mckenna about 5 years ago. I was given inaccurate information from Mckenna's staff which led me to purchase a useless warranty th I bought a 428 from Mckenna about 5 years ago. I was given inaccurate information from Mckenna's staff which led me to purchase a useless warranty that frankly I am shocked they would even offer to see in the first place! This 'extended warranty' would add basically zero value or benefit beyond the CPO warranty. So why would a reputable dealer even offer this to a customer if they're seeking to treat a customer right and create a long term relationship? Wouldn't a reputable dealer recommend Against a customer paying for a warranty of such little value?! Recently I've come to learn that the extended warranty they sold me did not extend the CPO warranty even though I specifically discussed that point with their staff, who confirmed it would be an extended warranty above and beyond the CPO warranty. They also confirmed I could transfer it with the car when selling it to another. I purchased it There would have been zero value in purchasing it otherwise. I've attempted to address this issue with McKenna believing it was possibly an errant mistake by their staff who didn't understand what they were selling. In response to my query, McKenna replied they could sell me an additional extended warranty! How exactly is this treating a customer properly? A business gives inaccurate information, and then expect the customer to pay more?! Incredibly disappointing! Maybe I should have scoured the paperwork me intently, but when working with a reputable group you hope to have some reliability in their guiding you with accurate information through the dozens and dozens of pages being signed. Be wary! More
