Leased a loaner. Got a decent monthly payment, but the car has an issue that the dealer refuses to discuss. Don’t get used from these guys. Got a decent monthly payment, but the car has an issue that the dealer refuses to discuss. Don’t get used from these guys. More
Marc Cleary is the reason I did not continue to do business with South Bay. He was rude and condescending to me on the phone and acted like I was bothering him.. I told him exactly what I wanted and h business with South Bay. He was rude and condescending to me on the phone and acted like I was bothering him.. I told him exactly what I wanted and he proceeded to try to convince me I wanted something else. Totally unacceptable. I’ve since moved on and leased from another dealer. More
Christian has no Integrity. He was going to buy my X2 and because I didn’t like him and didn’t want to work with him, he said he bought five x2’s and didn’t need my car. Where i He was going to buy my X2 and because I didn’t like him and didn’t want to work with him, he said he bought five x2’s and didn’t need my car. Where is his Integrity?? Very Childish for a man. I’ve been a BM W owner for over 20 yrs and BMW just treated me like I don’t matter. Very, very disappointed. More
Brad seemed like a nice guy. He returned my Phone call regarding Christian buying my X2. My lease was up. I called Brad back leaving a voicemail that I didn’t like Christian or He returned my Phone call regarding Christian buying my X2. My lease was up. I called Brad back leaving a voicemail that I didn’t like Christian or working with him. I wanted to work with Brad I was more comfortable with him. Christian was arrogant and cold. Brad never called me back and went to Christian and told him I don’t like him. So when I went in to see Christian he acted like a child and refused to help me. Thank you Brad for turning on a long time customer and helping ruin my experience with BMW. You could have done much better. More
If I could give a MINUS any number, I would! Picked up car yesterday and now problems again! The Vehicle is a used 2013 X3, which I have had for 5 months from Nash auto in Costa Mesa. Two weeks Picked up car yesterday and now problems again! The Vehicle is a used 2013 X3, which I have had for 5 months from Nash auto in Costa Mesa. Two weeks ago, I was on the freeway and info on the screen stated issues with the oil pump. I continued to drive and then a message flashed on the screen stating ' DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION. DRIVE MODERATELY.' A few seconds later the car screen indicated the car would shut down in approximately 30 seconds! I had to quickly, and dangerously, exit the freeway. As I approached the end of the offramp, the car shut down. No movement of steering wheel nor any wheels. I was unable to start the car! I had to tow it to McKenna BMW of South Bay and the car remained for two weeks. I had to pay a lot of money for repairs and retrieved the vehicle on 4/16/22. That evening the warning regarding DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION again appeared. On 4/17/22, the same warning remained and now the engine light is on. I called the South Bay BMW dealership (Sunday) and was informed that no one was available from the repair /Service area and I would need to wait until tomorrow. The car is still not safe to drive but yet I need to drive due to my work schedules and locations! There is no excuse for this issue to reoccur just one day after repairs! The sales person COULD have called someone/supervisor and asked for guidance, yet I was informed " I only work in sales". I am not one who "name drops", but if this issue is not rectified tomorrow, I will be happy to name all involved. After this incident, I do not trust this dealership and I definitely do not trust BMW cars!! Stay tuned!! More
My rating is for the service department, specifically the technician working on my car. My actual service advisor is the best. He restored my trust in South Bay BMW prior to this situation. My car recently w technician working on my car. My actual service advisor is the best. He restored my trust in South Bay BMW prior to this situation. My car recently went in for a warranty repair and during the visit, my car notified me of a incident. Although someone unplugged my dash cameras, they still record if someone hits the car, triggers the alarm etc. Once I was able to download the video, I watched the technician open my hood and allowed it to hit the car above where it rested until he was done filling the washer fluid. I was furious. I checked my car for damage and noticed dirt/oil from the tires. No they didn't wash the car upon returning it to me. I take very good care of my vehicles. When it's in someone else's hands, I would hope they would respect my property as I respect their loaner cars when I'm allowed one. I posted screen shots of the video as I'm unable to upload it. I'm extremely upset with this recent event and hope SBBMW train their employees to better care for others property. Had the tables been turned, I would be on the hook for damage to a loaner. My camera recorded 5 incidents of either hard braking or something bumping into the car. I'm extremely unhappy. More
I must say this is probably the worst BWM experience that I have had to date. The bar was already pretty low working with these dealerships. There is no transparency here. The experience feels like they a I have had to date. The bar was already pretty low working with these dealerships. There is no transparency here. The experience feels like they are just hustling cars. Don't bother asking how they arrived at the price because as my sales person said, we are not able to share that. We were like its taxes and fees you should be able to give us completely visibility to what we are paying for -- can't be done at this dealership. Drive off increased to over $1000 because he said he made a mistake and then couldn't explain the mistake or the increase. Management needs to get from behind the glass door and step out to the sales floor and start engaging customers. Provide a more transparent transaction and MAYBE people will want to do business with you. I would never recommend this dealership to anyone and now I understand why they have received such horrible reviews. We have taken our business elsewhere. Good luck! More
