I even missed worked to ensure I did not missed this car. Poor advertisement and poor solution to problem...Sell me a more expensive car! More
Rocky hung up on me I called the sales department with a simple inquiry--was a certified car I saw online in stock? A surly guy named Rocky answered the phone and said he I called the sales department with a simple inquiry--was a certified car I saw online in stock? A surly guy named Rocky answered the phone and said he'd check and call me back in 10 minutes. An hour passes, I call back and ask to speak with Rocky who says that 'I'm not his problem' because another sales rep had responded to an internet inquiry in the past. When I asked if he could simply tell me whether the car was in stock or if he couldn't tell me that, if he could connect me with that other sales rep. He simply responded, 'I don't deal with you,' and hung up the phone. It should be noted the manager, Andy, whom I left a message for never called me back. I'm a current BMW SF customer and have been a BMW owner for the past 20 years. I very much wanted the car in question and was practically begging for this dealership to take my money and yet they didn't seem to want it. I have never been treated so poorly at any kind of dealership, let alone a BMW store. This place is a disgrace to the brand. Go to a real BMW dealership and watch how collaboratively they sell. Rocky needs to go! More
Horrible car purchase experience On 10/13/14 I purchased a 2008 M3 from their sales associate, Sergio. Because I live 2 hours away (Manteca, CA) I made it clear that all negotiations On 10/13/14 I purchased a 2008 M3 from their sales associate, Sergio. Because I live 2 hours away (Manteca, CA) I made it clear that all negotiations would be confirmed via phone prior to me coming in (to prevent time wasted). These were all confirmed via phone: 1. Price of vehicle 2. I will pay via outside financing (USAA) and I will be able to drive off with the vehicle. 3. 1 and ONLY 1 credit inquiry (to ensure backup financing) Very simple. All 3 of the items were confirmed so my family of 4 took the drive there to close the deal. Unfortunately, it did not go as planned. Upon seeing the finance manager, Kim Nguyen, she stated that I did not qualify and tried to get me to use your banks. WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, she ran my credit 5 additional times to other institutions. I MADE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR PRIOR TO COMING IT THAT I WAS ALREADY APPROVED WITH USAA. This was unacceptable to me, as I am in the middle of purchasing a home, which took a hit on my score ultimately affecting my qualification for a mortgage. Furthermore, Sergio disclosed that the Navigation Disc was stolen. He promised that he would send me the disc the next day. It is almost 2 weeks later and I have yet to see this disc. Initially, I was a bit leary with going with Stevens Creek BMW, given the mixed reviews. After my own personal experience, I can say that some of those reviews are accurate. I emailed this narrative to all parties involved during this transaction to seek resolution, INCLUDING the General Sales Manager. I did not receive acknowledgement or a reply. This is how much they value customer service...THANK YOU, STEVENS CREEK! NOT! More
Rocky Karimi and Ron Ryan are Aces!!!!! Amazing sales staff! Amazing car! This is my first review I have ever written about anything ever!!! But I felt it was an opportune time to start Amazing sales staff! Amazing car! This is my first review I have ever written about anything ever!!! But I felt it was an opportune time to start after my experience with Rocky Karimi and Ron Ryan at stevens creek bmw. Living in NJ and purchasing a car sight unseen all the way in california is no easy feat and an unnerving experience to say the least. Finding a similar car for the right price on the east coast just wasn't happening. With an original sticker price of over $125,000, my preowned BMW ALPINA B7 is a technologically advanced super luxury sedan not for the faint of heart. And there are only about 4 for sale on the market at any given time. High in demand, I put an offer on the car right away, to which Rocky agreed to. This had me even more worried, thinking if this guy is gonna accept my lowball offer, there must be a plethora of things wrong with this car!! I was about to back out of the offer when I decided to have a california mechanic go inspect the car for mechanical problems and damages. The report came back with a score of 96 out of 100. The only flaws noted were some scrapes on the bottom edge of the front spoiler. After talking to Rocky and Ron, they adjusted the price accordingly and sent me the contract to sign. Next came shipping. It took me a day or 2 to shop for a shipping company to get the car to me in NJ and the sales staff at Stevens Creek BMW were patient and cooperative during this process. After a week of anxious waiting, the semi showed up in front of my house, with the ALPINA that I could only have dreamed of owning. It has exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The interior is absolutely mint! Every available option is loaded on the car including NIght Vision, adaptive cruise, and rear dvd entertainment. The monster 500 horsepower V8 screams this bohemoth from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. If you are ever lucky enough to drive an ALPINA, do it! And if you are ever in the postion to buy a car from sales staff at Stevens Creek BMW, do it!!!! Just be sure to send Rocky and Ron a handshake and big thank you from NJ for me. More
Poor Friendliness Hi, I needed some help to get my car seen by a BMW specialist to approve the warranty on my front bumper. This bumper was changed due to an acciden Hi, I needed some help to get my car seen by a BMW specialist to approve the warranty on my front bumper. This bumper was changed due to an accident but the new bumper had a flaw and was bended on one side. The person responsible took a month before telling me that the BMW specialist was there at stevens creek. I could not go to the service this day so he asked me a picture of the bumper. Based on it, he said there was nothing wrong with the bumper. I went in person to show the car in stevens creek but the responsible was not there. I tried to continue to contact him but no answer until he said that the story was closed from his point of view. He simply refused to see the car. I was hopeless. 2 days later I went to another dealership and they immediately saw the problem and fixed my bumper within a week. I regret that this person in Stevens creek refused to see my car. This really gave a bad image of the service department where I think all other employees are more helpfull. Thanks, More
negative reviews, positive experience I responded to the c0upon advertising oil change for $89 (oil and filter included). I scheduled 8am appointment, but I was so turned down with negati I responded to the c0upon advertising oil change for $89 (oil and filter included). I scheduled 8am appointment, but I was so turned down with negative reviews (which I do believe every word written), so I did not even bother getting up for the appointment. However, I made it at 10am and went there ready to turn around and leave. There was a bit of wait - as they seem to be getting 100s cars per day - like a factory. Service rep was Brian Krop. Nice guy. He kept his promise and I went to pick up the care early afternoon. Everything was done right. First I was surprised that they did not meet me with the list of what is wrong with my car, in an attempt to rip me off. He told me my car is fine - no major problems. A surprise! The two problems they found, one I knew about and they did not insist to fix it as this repair is costly to fix a minor oil leak. The second I did not know about. Brian showed it to me and indeed there was a minor problem. They let me go and fix it myself if I wish - which I will do. Brian is knowledgeable mechanic and I feel confident having my car trusted to him. (I am amateur mechanic and I know quite a bit). In summary: thanks to all of you who wrote negative reviews! This place seems to be turning around and thanks to you I got a good service. Will this last I do not know. At least they may have fired all of those bad guys and hired good guys like Brian Krop. But to be fair, I got a great deal: -7 qrts of synthetic oil worth $70 -car wash -inspection and alerting me of a problem -carpets vacuumed -windshield fluid added. -I could have had a loaner BMW if I wanted to wait for appointment, but I did not.... I guess they made $10 on my car. The price is better than Jiffy Lube or other places where they will snap your screw and damage your car. I had a good experience and I am posting this review to be fair to them. More

I normally don't bother with reviews, but I need to get this off my chest... This was hands-down the easiest and most painless car purchase process I've been part of - yes, it helps that I knew exac get this off my chest... This was hands-down the easiest and most painless car purchase process I've been part of - yes, it helps that I knew exactly which car configuration I was looking for, but I need to give FULL CREDIT to a very knowledgeable and friendly salesperson - Ricky T., who did everything to facilitate the process, from test-drive to drive-off. Other "tips" go to: Nasser M and Gil. There was a hitch in the leasing terms, which was later rectified - props to Nasser M - thanks! Also, Gil was friendly, efficient and quick in dotting the i's and crossing the t's before I took delivery. During the 2 hour process (yes, about an hour longer than I had anticipated, but there were some user-introduced complications), I had the chance to observe several other client interactions. To my novice eye, it appeared that my sales experience easily could have been dramatically worse ... Luckily, I had hand-selected Ricky as my salesperson. Overall, this was a great sales experience, thanks to Ricky. However, I would only recommend him only to my closest friends and family, since I don't want him to become too busy for my future business. ;-) More
I had a bad fuel pump on my 2007 328i which was out of regular warranty. My local mechanic called this dealership and asked if the SULEV warranty would cover it. The service manager to whom he spoke (we n regular warranty. My local mechanic called this dealership and asked if the SULEV warranty would cover it. The service manager to whom he spoke (we never got a name) said 'yes, it will be covered.' Well, I take it in, and apparently they were wrong. It was definitely NOT under warranty. I live in Santa Cruz, so it's a huge hassle to get it over there but I figured that since it was under warranty, it'd be OK. WRONG!! They charged me $1000 for the service which my local guy could have done for $500. Plus, I had to pay for the tow based on their lying information. They didn't replace a clip properly, so the next day when I went out to my car it was leaking gas all over the pavement. I was afraid to drive it. I had it towed over there AGAIN and they fixed it with no offer to pay for the tow based on a problem caused by their shoddy work. Three months later, the fuel pump died. I took it back and they tried to charge me again. I voiced my displeasure to the manager, Kevin, and he laughed at me and hung up on me. I should have sued the xxxx out of them the first time but I didn't. Well, that all changes now. If you value your car, your time and your dignity, NEVER EVER take your car to these xxxxxx morons. You've been warned! More
Absolutely the worst experience, RUN from these guys, I don't care how much you love your BMW, this has to be the WORST place you could possibly service your car. I even had one of the employees threaten m don't care how much you love your BMW, this has to be the WORST place you could possibly service your car. I even had one of the employees threaten me, and physically push me. I have never felt so strongly that this business should be shut down for unethical treatment to its customers! Kevin Gaither / Sandy Skees are fools that do not listen to his customers at all, what kind of "Manager" is that? Go back to school, and learn how to treat customers with respect... More
