If I could give them a no star review I would. Shady AF!! In April we bought our son his car for his graduation from college. Our 2nd purchase from them. Down payment as gift and he pays the rest. Shady AF!! In April we bought our son his car for his graduation from college. Our 2nd purchase from them. Down payment as gift and he pays the rest. Clean car, single owner and maintained by them. Looked like the perfect fit. It came with a 6 mo, 6000 mile warranty. The car was driven 1006 miles before we noticed after a drive the car would smoke. Appeared to be a valve cover gasket with a drip the would hit the exhaust manifold and burn off. Oil level reads fine, no warning lights. Called them and my dealer put me in touch with the service dept. They advised me they need to diagnose the problem and submit it to the warranty company. I would have to pay for a tow. They also advised I would not be covered as in the "breakdown clause" gaskets are not covered although technically the car is not broken down. Talked with my dealer again who agreed it has to be diagnosed in order to submit it and I need to get it in. I confirmed the "warranty" is good at any BMW dealer or ASE shop. I have a BMW dealer a mile from the house safe enough to drive it there with no worry. My diagnosis was spot on. No only did they find that but advised it needs a belt and recomends brakes. OVER $4000 worth of work. The car was 15K. They also confirmed the warranty denied the claim. Warranty is not worth the paper it is printed on!!! And although my dealer said Motor Werks would make it right in the end today I was informed "I'm on my own for the bill." I have had quite a few cars in my life and never have had anything major fail with only 55K miles on it. BMW should be embarrassed. I should have looked here first and seen the overall majority of the reviews are 1 star. Mark it up to tuition and a costly lesson learned. Motor Werks has zero reputability and no honor in the products they sell. More
