I had blown out a t On October 22nd in the late afternoon I drove my car into the service bay. I was met by several people who were friendly and kind. I had blown out a tire on my way to funeral at the daylesford abbey a few hours before. I explained the problem and the fact that I live 3 hours away. I waited a short time when someone came out to say that they did not have a tire to match my other 3 but they could put on a tire they had which would allow me to get home safely and then i could purchase another to match. They also noticed that a warning light for a head light was on. When they returned the car to me the tire was on and light replaced!! They would not accept payment and wished me well. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the kindness shown to me that day. I was upset about the funeral and the car and they were just amazing. I was in such a state that I didn't get a chance to get the names of the folks that helped me. It was close to 4pm on the 22nd so you should be able to figure out who it was. I am forever in debt and cannot say enough about how wonderful this place was to me. Please pass this along to all concerned and know that the gentleman who spoke with me (in a blue button down shirt) is a special employee and I hope is treated as such. Again my thanks to wonderful business that knows how to treat customers more than right. Sincerely, JHonig, MD More
It's Fine. The service here is fine. I will never understand, though, why absolutely any interaction needs to run through the service rep. For many communication The service here is fine. I will never understand, though, why absolutely any interaction needs to run through the service rep. For many communications this is understandable. However, When I called to request a shuttle to the dealer to pick up my vehicle first thing in the morning, the receptionist informed me that I must speak with my representative in order to request a shuttle ride. At this point, I'm late for work and all service reps are clearly busy because they had just opened (I sat on the phone with it ringing for 4 straight minutes trying to reach a service rep before I hung up and re-dialed for the front desk). Front desk placed me on hold to try and reach a service rep. Several minutes later, after reaching the same conclusion I had earlier, she returned to tell me my service rep was with a customer, and would I please wait to speak with him. I explained that I was late for work, and simply needed a shuttle to pick up my vehicle. The receptionist stumbled a bit, and requested I be placed on hold to wait for a service rep. I reiterated my time constraint, and exclaimed that if I couldn't get a shuttle quickly then I would have to take a taxi/Uber to the dealership to get my car. "Oh, well yes just do that," I was told by the receptionist. Look, if I'm going to drop several thousand dollars in service costs to your dealer, you better be able to offer me a ride to come give you the money. If I return to this dealer for service in the future, it will only be because of its proximity to my home and office relative to other dealers. How about you integrate some sort of system whereby I don't have to go through my service rep for permission to request a ride to come give you money and retrieve my car from you? This isn't a knock on my service rep or the receptionist, though any receptionist worth their weight could recognize the situation and simply offer to request a shuttle for me. This is clearly an example of management getting comfortable having a near monopoly on the service business on the Main Line and not instituting business processes that will make customer lives easier. The service reps, receptionists, car washers, and valet/shuttle drivers here have all been very nice people, and my experiences with them have been fine. There is something wrong with management, though, when a receptionist feels she doesn't have the little leeway to help a customer to get a shuttle. You need to create a more efficient customer experience for your service customers. More
This is the worst dealership ever! I don't even know where to start! My 2011 535Xi was the worst car hands down I've even owned. My vehicle had been service at least 7 times in the 1 yr I don't even know where to start! My 2011 535Xi was the worst car hands down I've even owned. My vehicle had been service at least 7 times in the 1 yr. I owned this car. Yes, do the math, that's almost once a month! This last problem with my car [check engine ] was elevated to upper management..haha! I am still waiting for a callback from one of the managers for over two weeks now. Needless to say I felt it was in my best interest to part ways! Consumers, for the prices they charge us for these high end cars , they should spend some of our hard earned money hiring better Managers, technicians and sales associates. I would not even send anyone there to use their restrooms!!!!!!! More

They accommodated when other local dealers could not. Very nice and accommodating service team. Nicely appointed dealership. I appreciate the help provided. Will definitely use again. More
Questionable Warranty My car is under warranty, less than a year old. I scheduled service appointment for faulty back up sensor. I was told I would have to pay for a brand My car is under warranty, less than a year old. I scheduled service appointment for faulty back up sensor. I was told I would have to pay for a brand new sensor, even though this car is under warranty. Service rep alleged that my car was hit where sensor is placed, however this car has never been in any type of accident and there is no damage to the area where sensor is placed. I should not have to pay for a part that is under warranty. More
Traded 2010 Lexus for their 2008 BMW (lemon) I purchased a 2008 BMW from BMW of Devon and it had some issues. I took to another dealership and was told there was an oil leak. I returned to Devon I purchased a 2008 BMW from BMW of Devon and it had some issues. I took to another dealership and was told there was an oil leak. I returned to Devon and waited 3 hours for them to replace gasket for leak. They told me to go home because it would take too long and I should return two weeks later and they will give me a loaner. I said "my warranty would be over". They said "no problem, we will still honor it". I returned two weeks later and they made me use my insurance for a loaner. I left my vehicle and two hours later they called and said my car was ready. I returned the next day and they did not do anything. They gave me a bogus story that the oil was from a previous repair over one year ago and the gasket was still hard so there is no leak. I returned to other dealer and they said - there is still a leak. On yesterday my car started smoking from the oil leak and Devon does not want to repair. Even if I trade in the vehicle, I will lose over $1,000 due to the leak. I plan to go to court and report to MV since I gave them three (3) chances to resolve the problem and they refused. More
New Dealer/Bad Service I purchased my 2011 BMW from Devon Hill BMW, the prior owner, and had always had my car serviced there. I was very satisfied. Shortly after BMW of D I purchased my 2011 BMW from Devon Hill BMW, the prior owner, and had always had my car serviced there. I was very satisfied. Shortly after BMW of Devon took over, I had a serious electrical problem with my car: the various idiot lights came on and advised that I needed to stop driving immediately. However, the flaw corrected itself before I pulled over. When it happened again, I took the car in for servicing. Since they did not have a BMW loaner, they shuttled me down to a nearby Hertz rental shop where they gave me a filthy car that reeked of cigarettes. Later in the day, the dealership called to say that they could not find a problem but that I needed two new tires @ $800 each. When I picked up the car, it had not been washed. When I asked why the young man responded "It was supposed to rain today". A month or so later, the car started running very rough and the "service engine soon" light came on but then went off and the car seemed to be OK. When it happened a second time, the light stayed on so I called the dealership. They advised that they would try to get me in and service the car if I could leave it a day or two. I asked for a loaner and was told that they had no loaners available and that the earliest I could get an appointment with a loaner was approximately two weeks. Since I need my car for work, I declined their offer. I called BMW of the Main Line and they sent someone in a loaner to pick up my car at work, serviced and returned it the following day. This was the exact opposite of the service I received from BMW of Devon. You can imagine where I will buy my next car! My experience with BMW of Devon on two occasions was miserable. I will never go back there. Having purchased an expensive car, I expected reliability in service. BMW of Devon's service was not up to what I would expect from Hyundai or Toyota, let alone BMW. Needless to say, I will not return. More
I have been taking my 2003 BMW for service exclusively to Devon Hill for 10 years. Friendly team, tech/mechanics are great (approachable and they answer my frequent questions). Service has declined over th Devon Hill for 10 years. Friendly team, tech/mechanics are great (approachable and they answer my frequent questions). Service has declined over the last year or two--I used to get my car returned clean (particularly the inside) but recently that has not been the case. After my most recent visit (mid Feb 2014), the tan interior had numerous black hand smudges on it and there was a greasy pick/awl tool left on rear floor (to replace a fuel pump?). Repair prices are, at this point, brutal ---so much so, I am going to cross my fingers, and take my car to an independent mechanic. It's been a great relationship but it has the value equation is no longer there. More
