Sandy Sansing BMW

My BMW's windshield wipers stopped working. I took the car in for service, received a loaner BMW. Cathy called saying that the BMW diagnostic equipment indicated a $400 wiper control module was bad. the car in for service, received a loaner BMW. Cathy called saying that the BMW diagnostic equipment indicated a $400 wiper control module was bad. The car was nine years old with 87,000 miles, so I expect electrical problems from time to time. Cathy said they had to overnight the part in, and the car should be ready the following afternoon. She later called, saying the part was not in the US and had to be shipped from Germany. I had the loaner BMW a few more days. The part came in from Germany, was installed, but did not solve the problem. The technician started manually troubleshooting and found a bad two-dollar relay. Cathy apologized for the delay in fixing my car (caused by a flaw in the BMW diagnostic computer algorithm, not by Sansing), and charged me $90 labor. I'm afraid any other dealership would have charged me for the $400 relay. I really wanted a Porsche for my next car. But, this wiper control module thing made me buy another BMW from Sansing instead. My old BMW is twelve years old, with 114,000 miles. It has been in Sansing BMW for service 25 times since new. I have NEVER been disappointed the in the service. In addition to being competent and honest, they are meticulous. Cars are valet delivered to a covered area outside the service / customer waiting area after service, to prevent damage by another customer dinging the door getting in their car or doinking the bumper pulling out of a parking space. The tech's and valets back the cars into parking spaces to prevent damage to the front air dams (typically lower than curbs on BMW's passenger cars, particularly M cars). Sansing BMW has the state of the art, damage-free tire changing machine. I also take my Chevrolet 90 miles to Sansing BMW to have tires repaired or replaced. More

I work in Atlanta, but live in Pensacola so when preparing to purchase two BMW's, we gave Sandy Sansing first shot at our business in an effort to do businesses locally (I had already purchased a Ni preparing to purchase two BMW's, we gave Sandy Sansing first shot at our business in an effort to do businesses locally (I had already purchased a Nissan Armada from them 4 years ago). The buying experience at BMW was what I would say to be average or slightly below. We were met with an attitude that we weren't high on their priority list, they didn't have to negotiate or even explain pricing difference in cars. I am basing this on delays in responses to phone calls and emails (I was trying to buy while working out of town) and also from the lack of attention when we went to the dealership personally. One time we went, we were not offered to test drive the car we were looking at. Another time, they didn't have access to the keys for us to test drive. Finally, I was able to do a test drive and during the drive was receiving the rundown of selling points of BMW ownership. One of which was that like my Acura, the sales person explained that you are given loaner cars when your BMW is in for service. While waiting on a return phone call about a car that we were interested in, we found a vehicle at another dealership. Long story short, we purchased that car and only after the call did we finally receive a return call. We were still Sandy Sansing fans and planned on having the vehicle serviced locally as well as still buying the second BMW from them. So, my better half called to scheduled her first service and have a rattle inspected and when she verified that a loaner vehicle would be available, she was informed that she nor I could have a loaner because we didn't buy from them. We were completely blindsided by this since it was them that brought it up as a selling point when they were trying to sell a car. Now we are told that we can't have a loaner because of where we purchased (a nearby town), but could if we moved here, were military, etc. Speaking with the GM didn't get us anywhere and other dealerships that we contacted were surprised to hear that as well. I asked dealerships in Atlanta were I worked, the dealership we purchased from, and another about an hour away who all confirmed they offer loaners regardless of where the original purchase was made. So now, they lost the sale of a $50k hybrid 3 series....a $35k certified preowned 3 series that I just purchased for myself....all of the service and repair work for both vehicles (we will plan service based on our work travel schedule), plus I made a vow to never purchase from them in the future so long as this is their policy.

Over the past few years our family has bought numerous automobiles from the Sansing family of dealerships in Pensacola these included New, Used and Leases. My daughter has bought two BMWs, because of the automobiles from the Sansing family of dealerships in Pensacola these included New, Used and Leases. My daughter has bought two BMWs, because of the low pressure AND PRICE, when the wife and I decided to look for a replacement SUV we wanted to take a look at the BMW X5. We first contacted a close and enduring friend, Jacquie Gray, who suggested we contact Joe and Ken. From Day ONE we were not disappointed. Both are highly professional and are interested in providing excellent service to the buyer. Everyone we contact with at Sandy Sansing BMW were dedicated to fulfilling our needs. My wife had a test drive with Ken, but before we drove the car we had a detailed introduction to the BMW as a driving machine. The whole experience was so very pleasant! We didn't make a quick decision and neither were we pressured. We just kept coming back because we liked the dealership family. It wasn't long before we had decided on a RED X5 but we had some options which were not available in inventory. We had to order the exact car we wanted. Even an order from the manufacturer was pleasant. It took about 4 weeks which complied with the estimated production time. When it arrived it was gorgeous!!. My wife just loves it and she even lets me drive it once in a while. Great folks at Sandy Sansing BMW and I recommend all of them highly. More

Outstanding service and support by BMW Sansing again. We bought our X3 with help from JJ Hommer last year, he is a really outstanding BMW salesman. Before we decided to buy this car he gave us very good inf bought our X3 with help from JJ Hommer last year, he is a really outstanding BMW salesman. Before we decided to buy this car he gave us very good information about all different types of engines and equipment, very helpful to make the right decision. For us it was in total a perfect deal. Because my wife is also an owner of a BMW 135 i, which was bought and driven in Germany before, we have had some trouble at the beginning to get the car into the US BMW service system. We also couldn't get connected to the BMW assist system. With friendly and selfless help and support from JJ Hommer and Christie Disher at BMW Sansing we could solve the problem. If you are intersted in buying a BMW or you need help by BMW service and maintenance to fix your problems we suggest BMW Sansing in Pensacola. Martin & Inge Geller Enterprise, AL More
