BMW of Bellevue

I had been there many times for a variety of service and maintainance. Seems like they usually break something in my car when you have them fix 1 or 2 things. Sometime they forget to do items in a list of t maintainance. Seems like they usually break something in my car when you have them fix 1 or 2 things. Sometime they forget to do items in a list of things and still attempt to charge. The management there lack customer focus. I was complaining about the service to their manager after talking to the useless BMWNA customer rep. After the manager know I was also have service done in another independent shop. His attitude changed 180 degree. I think they are the worse BMW service center I have been to. I would not recommend anyone bring their car there. More

Would I recommend this dealership? Yeah if I had any enemies. This place is horrible.<br><br>My Z3 top wouldn't go up so I went to their website and made an automated service request. Well, it kept enemies. This place is horrible.<br><br>My Z3 top wouldn't go up so I went to their website and made an automated service request. Well, it kept messing up so I called. They said, its faxed to us and to call back tomorrow. Called back, they said, "we didn't get it." So I spoke to a lady about an appointment for service. She told me 3 weeks out, (contradictory to what the web site said) anyway I made an appointment. <br>The day of the appointment I got there and no one would help me in the service department. They just looked at me like I couldn't afford a BMW and therefore I am in the wrong place. Finally, I had a young (like 18 year old) lady help me. She had to physically stop someone and tell them to help me. <br>So they take forever filling out the order, which you just repeat back to them what you said 3 weeks earlier. They look up your car, walk outside type on the computer and say "ok ready to go." I have to ask will it be ready today? What about the loaner I asked for? Is this covered on warranty? Blah, blah blah. So they take 15 minutes to get the loaner to the front (they said the engine was cold). The car is horribly dirty and yucky and sticky. Just gross.<br>Ok, so now the bad part. I call them back all day (they never call you) and finally 10 minutes before they close they tell me its done. They don't tell me what they did or anything, I have to pry it out of them. Well they were performing a regular maint. and they estimated aroudn $250.00. I said ok up to $250.00. They charged me $443.00 because they faught it was a M series and get this, the reason being is because I have an M on my license plate. Anyway, they can't help me because they are know closed. So I plan to leave, and the top (which I originally called for) is not working. They didn't even try to fix it. They just said, "it was a switch, and we replaced it." They didn't. So I tell the receptionist that is reading a Victoria's Secrets catalog that I want to speak to someone on the issue. They send this xxx hole out that says, "I am just in sales..." He looks at the car and agrees its broken but doesn't offer to do anything. I give the key back to the receptionist and tell her I will call Chad tomorrow. <br>The next day, well they lost my key so I had to make another trip home and back and tell me they are to busy on Saturday to fix it. I told them, I was told yesterday it would be fixed. So they said, "we will try to fit it in." They finally fixed the roof, bought me another key that they lost, fixed my bill but never said sorry. These people couldn't be worse if they tried. Stay away. Only good experience was seeing the glimps of the Victoria's Secret catalog. More

Bellevue BMW is the worst dealership I have ever dealt with in my entire life. A few months back, I came to them with a pre-diagnosed problem (by Strictly BMW) with my rear suspension. Ken reluctantly t with in my entire life. A few months back, I came to them with a pre-diagnosed problem (by Strictly BMW) with my rear suspension. Ken reluctantly took a photocopy of the diagnosis for his mechanic. Then, when I was about to leave, he brought over his shop foreman and said he had pulled the file and they were going to refuse to work on my suspension because I had Dinan upgrades. We all know that BMW or Dinan cover everything (but they somehow didn't). They finally agreed to "just this one time" work on my car. After a full day in the shop and no status update, I had to call them to find out if my car was ready. Ken told me that it wasn't and that they would have to keep it overnight because his mechanic had not diagnosed the problem until too late in the day. This would be the pre-diagnosed problem of course. I could go on and on and on about their terrible service...like the time that I last decided to use them and I stood in the lobby wating for a service rep for a full 25 minutes and no one bothered to ask me if I wanted help even though it was obvious that I did.<br><br>I have taken all of my business to <br>Seattle BMW and they are great! They greet you at the door and know who you are and get the job done right the first time. More

I've visited BMW of Bellevue twice - both times to look at cars. Each time I spent about 15 minutes there and I couldn't even get a single salesperson to even talk to me or make eye contact. They completel at cars. Each time I spent about 15 minutes there and I couldn't even get a single salesperson to even talk to me or make eye contact. They completely ignored me (and several other customers who were there) the entire time. <br><br>When I called them over the phone for service appointments for the car I ended up buying elsewhere, the wait time on appointments was always high and they almost invariably quoted me prices that were at least 50% higher than those at BMW of Seattle. BMW of Seattle, on the other hand has always been much more accomodating and respectful of me and my time. More

Most recenmtly I was shopping for a Z4 for my wife. Bellevue BMW lied to me about their inventory, never responded to my emails except with form letters, shifted me between 3 different sales people, cl Bellevue BMW lied to me about their inventory, never responded to my emails except with form letters, shifted me between 3 different sales people, claimed they had never spoken to me when I went to the manager and complained. I produced the emails showing me that they had. The sales manager tried to get me to deal with him directly, still wouldn't give me a price, and then tried to flat lowball me (by several thousand dollars on a trade. <br><br>Unless you want this kind of abuse go elsewhere.<br><br>Seattle BMW by comparison was prompt courteous, gave me a decent price, gave me exactly what I though my trade was worth, and finally, cut me a lease quote that was within $10 (!) of what my lease estimator software reported back. They followed through on everything the said and, oh yeah, had exactly the car I was looking for in stock. More

Reading the reviews of this dealership, you'd think I went to a different place yesterday. My car has one xenon headlight out. I drove to this dealership, had to wait a good time for help, and when I e went to a different place yesterday. My car has one xenon headlight out. I drove to this dealership, had to wait a good time for help, and when I explained the problem they would not even look at the car. Told me to come back in 11 days. Driving with one headlight is a safety hazard (plus, it's illegal), all they would do is give me a copy of the deferred appointment in case I get pulled over.<br>I was pretty dissapointed.<br> More

The salesmen are really unfriendly. Had two experiences here. When I bought my first car in 2002, the salesman really treated me unfairly, but somehow I bought the car. Now I am looking to trade in my car here. When I bought my first car in 2002, the salesman really treated me unfairly, but somehow I bought the car. Now I am looking to trade in my car for another car, but again, the salesperson is a joke, although he is friendly. He kept on promising to call me, but never did. It was always me who called him, and he would say that he was gonna try to find the car for me in other dealerships in the west coast, but he would always say that the other dealerships would not call him back. Had been waiting for almost two weeks now. Promised me to get the car real soon, but now he's going to Vegas before even working on my car...<br><br>The service department is great, though. I would recommend you to go to this guy called Kenneth Stoner. He's a great guy! He helped me a lot. This guy saves BMW of Bellevue by giving me a great customer service. <br><br>Wouldn't recommend the sales department.<br>Fully recommend the service department. More
