Amazing Customer Experience We recently purchased two cars from Todd Taylor, and I can honestly say this was THE BEST car shopping experience I have ever had. First off, the deal We recently purchased two cars from Todd Taylor, and I can honestly say this was THE BEST car shopping experience I have ever had. First off, the dealership is set up with salaried salesmen, so Todd was interested in finding us the right car at the right price for our family rather than being incentivized to get us into any vehicle he could at the highest price. For instance, Todd let us take two different models home with us, overnight, to figure out which was the right fit. Hendricks made the purchase process itself as simple as could be, considering we were turning in a lease and paying off a car loan in exchange for financing two new vehicles on a Saturday evening! But what really stood out to me was the care and attention that we’ve gotten from Todd AFTER we had already purchased our two cars. Todd not only followed through with a couple of minor fixes to our new truck, he also made it super convenient for us by giving us a loaner vehicle and driving the car back out to our house himself after the repair was done. But the above and beyond moment happened just recently, when my wife’s new car stalled out over a bridge while she had our two boys in the car. She called Todd who sent over his shop’s service vehicle immediately, and was able to get her up and running and back to safety (and luckily there was nothing wrong with the car after all!). In short, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing your next car from Todd Taylor at Hendrick’s Certified BMW, you simply can’t find a better car salesman in the city of Charleston. More

Mini not The person I dealt with was very rude. I needed to leave to get my husband to airport in his car I tryed to tell this individual I would be backover The person I dealt with was very rude. I needed to leave to get my husband to airport in his car I tryed to tell this individual I would be backover to go over everything which is how all other dealerships call after car is looked at for repair or maintenance. Threw my car key across the desk w paperwork and said go. I had the 200$ interior/ exterior package but they forgot to clean the windshield inside. I have a Land Rover and a Lexus SUV. Completely different experience with dealerships. Also the mini is really not that owner friendly SEABELTS DIFFICULT TO GET ON THE WINDOW OPERATION NOT EASY BACK WINDOW ALWAYS NEEDS TO BE UNLOCKED TO OPEN. I will be trading in car for a different make in near future. D Hill More

Bad Business precedes Bad Reputation On 8/03/18 my husband and I drove to RHBMW in Charleston from Florence (2.5hrs). Got there just before 3 pm. J Simmons became our salesperson. We dro On 8/03/18 my husband and I drove to RHBMW in Charleston from Florence (2.5hrs). Got there just before 3 pm. J Simmons became our salesperson. We drove 2 vehicles. After we made our decision Mr Simmons sent the vehicle to be detailed and be fueled. At that point we had to wait about 3 hrs to see the finance person. We were told that on this day he was working alone because the other person had to leave early. By the time we finished it was well after 7 pm (closing time). The sales person left as soon as we exited the the finance office and thanking us for the purchase. The finance person left before we could walk to the car we have driven to the dealership. I knew we needed to put gas in this vehicle so I drove it to the nearest station. There my husband informed me that there was no gas in our purchase. By the time we grabbed something to eat and drove back to Flo it was around 11 pm. Tired from a long wk and a long ordeal of purchasing a car, we slept late. By the time we got around to drive our new CPO, we noticed a message on the Dash Panel: oil change due since 6/18 and the dealership was closed. My husband called early on Monday and spoke with the Sales Manager. The SM told him that as a CPO this vehicle had gone thru an extensive inspection including an oil change. That this message was most likely a “programming error”” and to stop by to have it looked at and to get a full tank of gas. My husband told him that stopping by was not an option since we live in Flo. The SM then told him that he would look into it and call him bk. By Wednesday we haven’t heard so my husband called him again. At that point the SM told him that the person in charge of that would not be bk until Fri 8/10. Today is Sat 8/11 and we have not heard. We are are waiting for a replacement for the glove compartment (I have a “we owe”, the Owner’s Manual” I was looking for when the compartment fell apart, tank of gas and an answer to what is the “error” on the message board if in fact the oil was changed. BTW my husband found trash on the doors pocket and dirty floor mats under the proctective papers. At this point we are dissatisfied to the response or lack of , willing to return the vehicle and receive a refund More
Story Tellers Based on chat on this dealers page, the vehicle was present and that the webpage is kept up to date. I had sent an email inquiry and was told, Yes, w Based on chat on this dealers page, the vehicle was present and that the webpage is kept up to date. I had sent an email inquiry and was told, Yes, we have the vehicle. I called the dealership for direction and speak to the saleswomen(who was not available). But was told, no we don't have the vehicle. Of course my response ... what? How is this possible. I was told may be someone put a deposit on the vehicle. We don't remove listings based on a deposit. Then I was put on hold, and subsequently told it sold earlier today. All of this took place within a hour. A whole lot of questionable behavior for a BMW dealership. More
Buyer beware! We ordered a M3 from Rick Hendrick BMW on 11/18. We were originally told it should be ready around mid January and we were fine with that. I inquired We ordered a M3 from Rick Hendrick BMW on 11/18. We were originally told it should be ready around mid January and we were fine with that. I inquired where we were in production on 1/8 and was told it went into production on 12/19. Then the salesman wouldn't answer me when I called and emailed about delivery. So I called BMW North America a week later, myself with our production number and was told it wasn't in production yet. I cancelled my build with Rick Hendrick because I was lied to. I asked for my deposit for weeks and never got a response. I went to Rick Hendrick to speak with the sales manager and he said he wouldn't give our deposit back until the car sells. We like to shop locally, but will never do business with any Rick Hendrick dealership. Buyer beware! More
Double the price of the "Book" cost I am writing this for posterity's sake, hopefully they can make this right. I dropped my 2000 M5 off at this dealership on Monday 2-5-2018 with a no s I am writing this for posterity's sake, hopefully they can make this right. I dropped my 2000 M5 off at this dealership on Monday 2-5-2018 with a no start, no crank issue, after making an appointment online. My service adviser, Dustin, told me that I should have my car back that evening. Later that day I get a call stating that there was "good news" and that the issue was just a fuse. Thinking a fuse should be a 10 minute fix, they had to order a fuse, AT A CAR DEALERSHIP??? and hold my car an extra day??? (warning sign one, misdiagnosis 1) OK must have been a German fuse, so I waited until this morning only to get a call that the fuse keeps popping and that they need 3 additional hours (instead of the $45 diagnostic fee) to investigate a fuse issue. So I agree to that only to find out my that my EWS had a short in it and would need to be replaced and with the additional "diagnostic" work, the bill would be $1060. If the EWS module was defective the BMW INPA/ISTA diagnostic software wont even show the module indicating a fault and that it needs to be replaced, but I guess they went the old fashioned way of hand checking every connection under the dash instead of relying on the computer burning 3 hours at $145 an hour. Wow that escalated quickly. After this I called a buddy that works for another dealership out of town I was told an EWS replacement and diagnosis at book rate was around $500 dollars WITH a new key. So I called Dustin to get a break down of hours and was told that I had agreed to the additional diagnostic hours and I shouldn't be upset to pay double the cost of the repair and confirmed $500 is the correct price for the repair. WTH. They still have my car so I dont want to make waves until I get it back (fearing an even larger bill). Dustin then tells me they charge 1.5 TIMES THE STANDARD BOOK RATE for any repair not under warranty (warning sign 2) and that is standard in the industry. The final straw was when he added an additional hour onto the bill to put the pedal guard back that I had taken off even though the repair would require that it be removed anyways (warning sign 3) we settled on $760 for the repair but after mulling this over I feel like I should warn other folks about this. If I you don't know exactly what needs to be fixed, be ready to pay at LEAST 50% to DOUBLE the price to get it fixed at Rick Hendrick BMW service. My take aways are from Rick Hendrick BMW service are 1. You will pay 50% more than anywhere else to get the same repair (at least) unless they ding you for additional diagnostics then the price will go up, why even take to the dealership then? This came from the service adviser not me 2. If you dont know any better they will try and squeeze you for even more money. 3. You have to fight them to follow their own BOOK estimates for work, god help other less informed BMW owners. Read the other service reviews and you will see a pattern. I hate to use the word "stealership" but if you don't know your car or cant get a second opinion, you will be taken for a ride. More
