When I went to the dealership to finalize the deal and do the paperwork, everything was ready to go and the whole process was quick and to the point, no drawn out processes. Minimal attempts to sell extra "services" when I said that I wanted nothing additonal on the used car, the additional sales/finance pitches ended. More

Tu was great! I was always able to reach him by phone or email and he was open and receptive to all of my requests including taking the car to an independent inspector. When it came time to deal I worked wi email and he was open and receptive to all of my requests including taking the car to an independent inspector. When it came time to deal I worked with Omar who is a very nice person and a good negotiator. He didn't pressure me and we came to a reasonable agreement. The facility itself is immaculate and everyone is very friendly. Even the mechanics and detailers would smile and talk about the car you are looking at. This was my first dealer purchased vehicle and I can assure that when I'm in the market again I will be back. More

I find it interesting that I am writing a review because I have never done it before, but the experience I had with Paul's service definitely warranted that change in my habits. My husband and I found a I have never done it before, but the experience I had with Paul's service definitely warranted that change in my habits. My husband and I found a car on the dealership's website and when called, were lucky to be connected to Paul. Without ANY hassle he and I came to an agreement on the price over the phone (yes, over the phone). I knew what I wanted and also knew what i was buying and Paul understood my reasons. However, that was not it - I had an hour to spare on buying the car that evening (we were to be on a plane the very next morning and would have been back AFTER the holiday's incentive was over … which is something we found out that afternoon). So, he kept his promise there too - I was of that dealership in an amazingly short period of time ... (all of us who ever bought a car know how long the process of buying a car typically is). So, Thank you Paul, all over again SGP More

Wow. Easiest car buying experience I think I have ever Wow. Easiest car buying experience I think I have ever had, especially on a high end product. I went in prepared to have to do some kind of jockey Wow. Easiest car buying experience I think I have ever had, especially on a high end product. I went in prepared to have to do some kind of jockeying or negotiating or worst case battle to get exactly what I wanted, but it was super smooth. Emailed the dealership and dealt with a gentleman named Paul Blakeman. Paul nearly instantly called me to schedule a time to hammer out details. I explained that I wanted to make a move quickly and we had a deal done in about 6 hours at an agreed to price over the phone on a car that was exactly what I wanted. We agreed to meet the next day. Paul had exact numbers matching the websites offer, and we had all the details hammered out near instantly. He had the car secured, detailed and ready to go for my arrival. The wife and I spent approximately 2 hours at the dealership, 1 hour to see the car, do the processing, sign on the dotted line, and 1 hour of Paul going through in amazing detail about every feature on the car. The BMW dealership was brand new and very well appointed, everyone was friendly but not pushy, and everything was delivered exactly as promised. A welcome relief from other dealerships, and especially more upfront than several other local "luxury" dealers in Tysons I had tried to deal with in the prior months. I would highly recommend dealing with Paul, for a no nonsense approach, highly professional, and an unexpected detailed knowledge of his product worthy of his tag line as a "car guy". More

1/29/11 - 1/31/11 Paul H. Blakeman was simply amazing, 1/29/11 - 1/31/11 Paul H. Blakeman was simply amazing, courteous, knowledgeable, non-pushy, and patient. I just picked up my 2008 BMW 335XI this 1/29/11 - 1/31/11 Paul H. Blakeman was simply amazing, courteous, knowledgeable, non-pushy, and patient. I just picked up my 2008 BMW 335XI this morning and could not have asked for a better experience. The story begins in Aug 2010 when I first moved from Houston, TX to Arlington, VA. I walked into the BMW dealership at their old location and met Paul for the very first time. I was looking for a very specific vehicle, A CPO-ed BMW 4dr 335XI with manual Transmission. As you know these are very rare to come by. He was very helpful in finding one but unfortunately none were available in the market, but what I greatly appreciated, and which you don’t see in many dealers is patience he didn’t try to push me to purchase a different vehicle or a new one he simply said “I’m your car guy and I will make it happen.” I left the dealership with out a new vehicle but with something so much more valuable, A Car Guy, who not only knows his stuff but is trust worthy as well. Months pass and no call finally 1/26/11 I get a call from Paul, hey I have a 2008 BMW 335XI with manual transmission which just come in from a lease, if you’re still interested and in the market for one please come in and take a look at it. Unfortunately due to bad weather in the area I was unable to do so until Saturday 1/29/11. When I went in he told me everything about the car and then some. I was overwhelmed with knowledge but it all made sense when we went for the test drive. I loved the car so I told him everything I wanted… warranties, maintenance package etc.. And he said let me see what I can do and you tell me if this is a good deal for you. No need to negotiate he presented me with a spectacular deal with out the hassle of negotiating, one which I could not refuse. Today I signed and took delivery of my new vehicle and he made the process clean and easy. He also took the time to explain all the features and how to use them made himself readily available if I had any questions. He is amazing and has earned my business for life. I would greatly recommend Paul Blakeman. He also has many many many contacts for anything you want for your vehicle. If you desire window tints, he’s got a guy for that. Honestly you just don’t see this type of enthusiasm and connections these days. More
