This was my first time in and not the best experience. I made an appointment because the check engine light came on in our 5 months old X3. At drop off, I was told they probably would not get to it befo I made an appointment because the check engine light came on in our 5 months old X3. At drop off, I was told they probably would not get to it before tomorrow. What? Then why didn’t they have me bring it in on a day when they could work on it? The next day I receive a video from a technician showing a hose was loose and that now all was okay with the car. That was it. So I called and asked to speak with Shane, my service person and was told he was not in that day. I asked if the car was ready and she then asked me if I received notice it was ready. I said, “no, just received a video.” She said that’s strange. Then she looked and said it was ready. I then asked her if there was a quote for a replacement key fob in the paper work. Shane has said he would get a quote and let me know the day before but I didn’t hear from him. She said there was no quote and transferred me to parts. I also needed a front license plate bracket installed because the car was delivered to us without a bracket for the plate. The BMW guy from Long Beach said, “sorry, we missed that - just take it to your local dealer and they’ll put one on for you.” Shane said he would have to charge me $90 and to get one from Long Beach. That seemed insane. So then I called Long Beach and they fed-exed one to me. I asked Santa Monica BMW if they could please put the bracket on while the car was in the shop and that I would bring them the one that Long Beach shipped to me. They said no. That’s stupid. So now I have to bring the car back to get it put on. Lastly, when I came to pick up the car, the cashier had no paperwork and said it wasn’t ready. After calling around, it turned out it was ready. Then I had to wait for almost 15 minutes until it was pulled around to me. I expect better from BMW. More

I don’t appreciate your sales personnel trying to charge me for replacing certain things that I don’t need to replace, resulting in a total charge of over $1,000. I later found out from a different mechanic me for replacing certain things that I don’t need to replace, resulting in a total charge of over $1,000. I later found out from a different mechanic that all I needed was to replace two items that cost me only $100, while you were charging me $500 for the 2 items More

Left car for regular service. No free ride nor loaner offered, or was available when making appointment online. Car held up for 2 days, where they only completed regular service No free ride nor loaner offered, or was available when making appointment online. Car held up for 2 days, where they only completed regular service which should have taken a few hours only. Said there is a problem with brakes and that they will repair under warranty. Called back and said they don't have the parts, so I have to take the car out and they will call me back when parts arrive. Took my car out and still don't have any idea when they might call me with the parts arriving. Asked to wash my car 3 times and still got there and the car was not washed. Today, a sign came up that the car needs service. They didn't even re-set that, I don't understand how they worked on it that it still shows service needed. More

Like another reviewer, I stick with SMBMW because of Caesar. I just wish the techs could get the tire air pressure right and be clearer about their recommendations (e.g., if you think I need a new batte Caesar. I just wish the techs could get the tire air pressure right and be clearer about their recommendations (e.g., if you think I need a new battery tell me if you have tested the charge on the current one). Also, car wash could be a lot better. More
