Santa Monica BMW - Service Center

The service here is awful. I dropped my car at the dealership in Santa Monica and when they plugged my car to read the service codes THEY FRIED a modular that controls my windo I dropped my car at the dealership in Santa Monica and when they plugged my car to read the service codes THEY FRIED a modular that controls my windows, side mirrors, headlights and back lights, as well as signals. I have it on their own video they provide of their service mechanic admitting that this only happened as he plunged in to the car to read the codes. This was caused by the dealership, I gave them the car with only one issue, fuel pump. Not electrical problems, I had none at all. The dealership called me and sent me an invoice trying to CHARHE me to fix the modular they burnt for $1,700. When I refused to pay they agreed to fix it. Well I got my car back with the lights working and signals but now my windows and side mirrors still don’t work. So I asked them to fix the problem as it was caused by them in the first place and they refused, they asked for me to pay $700 as now the window switch modular is burnt. I talked to the service manager Daniel Garcia and he admitted that this is a problem they face all the time with BMW vehicles when they try and plug in to the cars and read codes. He said it “locks up everything” after going back and forth with him and BMW to pay for the issue they caused they came back later and still refused to fix the problem. They take your car, burn a few Modular’s, admit it on the service video, agree with you that it’s a problem caused by them when they plug in into your car but they will have the audacity to bill you for it first to see if you’re going to question it. They will also refuse to fix issues cussed by them when they ADMIT it’s an issue that they face all the time with their cars. Stay away from this dealership. I will be sending a letter and email to BMW for this awful sloppy service. You come in with one problem and leave with 90 caused by the dealership. Note: all of this happened over 2 and half weeks and they didn’t even give me a loaner!!!!! More
