McKenna BMW

Mckenna does not provide customer service to any person who walks in for service. the mechanics jump into conclusions without accurately diagnosing the problem. this falls on the customer who ends up payin who walks in for service. the mechanics jump into conclusions without accurately diagnosing the problem. this falls on the customer who ends up paying more than what he intended. i've taken my touareg back for the fourth time and they can not resolve the problem. they originally claim it was done by me costing me approximately $3200. i recommend you go to a different dealer. unhappy mckenna customer More

This dealership is the worst dealership I've been to....especially for vehicle service. Brought my 2006 330i to have regular scheduled service performed plus have TCU (computer module) replaced. Th to....especially for vehicle service. Brought my 2006 330i to have regular scheduled service performed plus have TCU (computer module) replaced. The car was in the shop for over a week, claiming the TCU was on order. After that run around, got fed up and picked up the car....service incomplete, tools left in my car and access panels still exposed,... and still waiting for the TCU. Then brought it back to have it finally replaced, only to have my car returned with some body damage. Both Service writer and MANAGER saw the damage and stated, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS!!!....yeah right! These people wouldn't even return my call. These people are untrust-worthty and only want to take your money (or BMW's). I ended up going to another dealership, with far superior service and found out McKenna NEVER changed the TCU, only programmed it, and rendered it faulty. It was experiencing occassional crashes. So the other dealership actually replaced it...THE RIGHT WAY! Don't go to this dealership....they need to be shut down. Search the internet, this place has been under investigation by various agencies. More

I had my independent BMW mechanic inspect the 2004 330i CPO car I chose before I made an offer. He found a number of things wrong. I gave my friendly salesperson a list of the items to be fixed, along wi CPO car I chose before I made an offer. He found a number of things wrong. I gave my friendly salesperson a list of the items to be fixed, along with an offer. We agreed upon a price based upon their willingness to fix the items. A due bill was made listing the items to be repaired. This included repairing a bent left front wheel and providing a spare key, among other things. They kept the car for a few days after I bought it to fix the agreed upon items. About half were fixed, the other half ignored. The spare key, promised to be Fedexed to me a few days after purchase never appeared. Turns out my salesperson forgot to order it. After driving on the fwy, I discovered the bent wheel was not repaired. I spent the next 4 weeks hounding my salesperson to follow up per our agreement. I asked her to provide me with a key to the wheel locks, feeling very uncomfortable driving without a way to remove the wheel - she didn't understand what wheel locks were, if you can believe that. I also discovered a missing wheel stud, which again, she did not understand what a 'wheel stud' was. I finally placed a call to the CPO manager, Anthony, which was not returned. Ultimately, I went in person and raised my voice in the showroom. Manager Anthony was summoned and after significant amounts of b.s., finally agreed to give me a loaner at no cost while they replace the bent wheel. A spare key that they had finally given me was not programmed and did not work in the ignition. The car was returned to me with a 'new', straight wheel - but it was scratched, dinged, and dirty - obviously pulled from another used car and not cleaned up - it felt like a final "F-You" from my friendly salesperson. The key was programmed to unlock the doors, but still didn't work in the ignition. I bypassed my sales agent and asked the parts dept for help. They were great - got the key fixed in no time. As far as I can see, the parts dept folks are the only reputable people at this pathetic dealership. Please go elsewhere, no matter how great the price appears to be. More

I cannot begin to tell a future buyer of this dealership. In a nutshell, PLEASE NOT BUY from McKenna!!! I was an out-of-state buyer who found a CPO 2006 BMW M3 convertiable on the internet with a good pric In a nutshell, PLEASE NOT BUY from McKenna!!! I was an out-of-state buyer who found a CPO 2006 BMW M3 convertiable on the internet with a good price. After talking with Ray Jackson and Tony Caruso, we came to a deal. Mind you, I purchased this car sight unseen and relied on the honestly of the sales team to supply me with all the facts of the car. Needless to say, never believe any sales persons from McKenna. I can rant for days however I can assure you that my dealing with McKenna may have saved a few dollars upfront however I spent countless hours of frustration that I would happily paid a larger price for the car from another dealer who practices in better and honest sales. Should you decide to deal and buy from McKenna, please get everything in writing and keep track of all communications with any and all persons. This will give you the trump card if anything come to head. Best of luck (you'll need it)!!! More

Made an appointment for 8:00 AM to change a light bulb. At 12:00 PM David calls to sell me some other unnecessary services for several hundred dollars, and they still have not changed my light bulb. My war At 12:00 PM David calls to sell me some other unnecessary services for several hundred dollars, and they still have not changed my light bulb. My warranty expired last week, and my car was in for service two months earlier. Suddenly, they seem to find things to fix that they could have done at the last service appointment. More

I must say that I was very sceptical going in over this past weekend because of what other people had written and what other dealers told me about thier bait and switch techniques. They had a price for an past weekend because of what other people had written and what other dealers told me about thier bait and switch techniques. They had a price for an X-3 lease that no one else could touch. I called them, went in and got my X-3 just like the ad said for a lease. Other dealers told me that they would lose about $2400 if they did this deal. I love my new X-3 and got it for a steal at McKenna. Give it a try. More

Took 530I in for first oil change and emissions recall. Oscar was great! Called ahead and requested loaner car. Loaner was ready to go when I arrived. Car was returned repaired and clean. <br><br>Oscar has Oscar was great! Called ahead and requested loaner car. Loaner was ready to go when I arrived.

It's a shame that the quality of their sales department does not come close to that of their service department. More

The client advisor, Ruth, was very friendly and helpful, and allowed me to test drive a couple of the 2004 BMWs that I was interested in. She was patient and informative. While I expressed an interest in and allowed me to test drive a couple of the 2004 BMWs that I was interested in. She was patient and informative. While I expressed an interest in the purchase of a new 2004 525, I was hesitant to buy the car as a number of reported problems with it have been discussed in a few BMW internet forums. She assured me that none are existent at this time. She then referred me to a sales manager who was rude and who persistantly tried to obtain my personal information with the intent of ordering a credit report, although I had already explained to him that I have my own auto loan terms ready. I had already said "no" for dealer assisted financing no matter what their rates were. The sales manager tried to pressure me to make a buying decision with no regard for my own pricing numbers for the car. He then started to size me up by asking me what type of car that I drive now and how much a make. I already told this jerk that I have my own financing arranged, and won't be using their's. Apparently my idea of a fair price for the car was too low for McKenna to make any money, so he asked me to leave and shop elsewhere. I have and got great deal. Alexander BMW and New Century BMW are much better dealers. Don't come to McKenna BMW if you want unrushed service and a fair price. This dealer is arrogant and greedy. I would have bought from the client advisor, but the jerky sales manager made a very poor impression afterward. More

This was originally a pleasant experience. I leased a 530i from Nick. Dealt with one person throughout the entire sales process (a pleasant alternative to haggling with an entire “team” of sales reps.). 530i from Nick. Dealt with one person throughout the entire sales process (a pleasant alternative to haggling with an entire “team” of sales reps.). All of the numbers were revealed up front (money factor, price, etc.). I had to haggle with the Finance & Insurance guys a bit over add-ons (as I did not want to purchase any additional insurance products), but otherwise, the experience was flawless.<br><br>Unfortunately, the "smooth" deal came back to haunt me a month later. Apparently, the dealer calcualted the payoff on my previous vehicle (2001 Audi A4) incorrectly (which is ridiculous, considering that McKenna is an Audi dealer, and can access the Audi Financial Services system to calculate payoffs on the fly). As a result, they needed around $1000.00 more than they originally planned. When they realized their error, they let the vehicle sit on their lot for a month while they attempted to cover their losses by negotiating a lower payoff with Audi Financial Services (even though my new vehicle had already been financed, and I'd already made the 2nd payment!!). <br><br>When I finally contacted them about this (after receiving several calls from Audi Financial Service's collectors, who had no record of any payoff), they gave me the run around, claiming that they had indeed paid the vehicle off, and that Audi's records were incorrect. After receiving additional calls from Audi at both my home and work numbers, I lost patience and called one of McKenna's Finance Managers (Robert) to tell him that I was coming down to the dealer. He explained the situation, (i.e that Audi Financial (not Mckenna), had miscalculated the payoff). He then told me that the only way that they'd pay the vehicle off is if I paid the $1000.00 when I arrived. Upon arrival, the amount changed from $1000.00 to around $1350.00. I refused to pay the additional $350.00. Finally, I was able to speak to the General Manager (Greg Conners) who was apologetic and sincere, but not very helpful. I ended up giving them a check for the original amount ($1000.00).<br><br>...I understand that the customer is responsible for any payoff discrepancies; however, there was no excuse for the previous vehicle sit for a month while they decided what to do (and never contacting me about this). Had I not received the collection calls from Audi, I would have spent the next 7 years getting rid of the adverse credit information caused by the past due account. Again, Greg was apologetic and sincere, but he could have done a lot more to correct this situation (I shouldn't have had to wait a month to get him involved in this).<br><br>To make matter's worse, I asked them to program the BMW Assist while I waited (they forgot to do this on the day I purchased the vehicle). They claimed that this was a 5 minute process. After 45 minutes of "playing around" with the IDRIVE, their service staff could not figure out how to do this. More
