BMW “Certified” Used Car—Don't Trust! I tried to buy a used Mazda 3 from BMW of Mountain View close to Christmas. This review pertains primarily to the service department of this dealershi I tried to buy a used Mazda 3 from BMW of Mountain View close to Christmas. This review pertains primarily to the service department of this dealership. I have never tried to buy a used car the past. Not mechanically inclined, I’m wary of false promises. Though some things may have changed for the better, no matter how much things change, some things remain the same. I was naïve to trust the dealership’s claim that the car had undergone a 121-point inspection/certification and didn’t carefully check the car for all of the most basic operations assuming that it would have been done. Upon driving home after dark, I wasn’t able to turn on the fan nor defrost the rear window, no matter how much I fiddled with the controls. I thought maybe it was me due to sophisticated newer controls, so I kept trying for a ½-hour to no avail. I pulled off the road (it turned out to be a dark area) to clear up the rear window with my sleeve and call BMW. The Service Department apparently was already closed, and I frantically called (5 times) to reach Sales (one time the operator hung up on me). The first Sales Manager I talked to said that it was probably a blown fuse and they would fix it if I brought it back in. (Really!? I suppose it isn’t entirely far-fetched that a fuse could have blown between the time they carefully inspected the car and put it on the lot.) Having spent hours at the dealership waiting to consummate the transaction, my cell phone battery was down to 10% on the drive home, then died while I was on the phone (and didn’t have a charger cord on me). I used the Bluetooth connection in the car, and it appears that when the phone died, this somehow disrupted the electrical system because the push button ignition failed to work for a good minute-and-a-half (tried 5 times). Needless to say, my stress level shot up at this point, and I felt that my safety was going to be in risk! The other electronic key fob that we had received (that my wife took) failed within a day. (Apparently, BMW didn’t test the batteries nor bother to spend $5 for a pair of fresh batteries.) Had I been unlucky to use that key instead, I could have been stranded! I wouldn’t be surprised if the one I used was equally weak, assuming they were the same age. The car eventually started (weirdly right after I pressed the heater control knob), and I finally made it home. In front of my garage door, I noticed that the exterior turn signal wasn’t flashing against my garage door even though it was flashing inside the car. I went outside, checked, and discovered that the signal wasn’t working both in front and back! I was changing lanes thinking I was signaling to other drivers when the car actually wasn’t! Needless to say, by now, it felt to me as if the dealership had fraudulently misrepresented the condition of the car, and I decided to cancel the sale ASAP. (The car already had bad scratch marks on the bumper after the Service Department should have previously repaired but rushed the car out to the lot, causing a previous sale to fall through.) Unless significant changes are made, don’t trust this dealership’s servicing department (under AutoNation)! This review and rating pertains to them, not Sales/Finance. To be fair, the Sales Department overall was cordial, and the manager responsible for used car sales didn’t try to sugarcoat the Service Department’s failure. One of the Sales Managers did authorize filling up our gas tank for our troubles as a courtesy (but we had already filled up our tank the night before, so it was just a couple of gallons). They weren’t willing to anything else to compensate us for wasting nearly a day-and-a-half time dealing with them when we were super busy preparing for Christmas. More
My son and I drove from Santa Rosa to Mountain View today to look at a 2007 BMW 335i that they have on their lot. The salesman was friendly and the car looked good on the surface but that's where the "good" to look at a 2007 BMW 335i that they have on their lot. The salesman was friendly and the car looked good on the surface but that's where the "good" stopped. We were there for almost four hours to buy the car they called a great car. At about the two hour mark they had me sign the "As Is" no warranty form. Then about 10 minutes before we were brought into the Finance Manager (after being there for about 3 1/2 hours at this point) the salesman came over and asked me to sign the last page acknowledging that I had read the Inspection report on the car. I started to read the report and the salesman said I didn't need to sign the other pages and he tried to stop me from reading the report. I told him that I was going to read it and it's a good thing that I did. The car's valve gasket was leaking oil down onto the oil pan and the report said it needed to be repaired and then said that the buyer had been advised. The report also showed that the rear brakes were at 3mm and 4mm and that they needed to be replaced and that the buyer had been advised. I told the salesman that I wasn't going to sign this until we talked about it and he said the Finance Manager would talk to me about it. We looked these repairs up online and found that the valve gasket replacement cost around $1500 and the rear brakes would cost around $600 to $800 replace. When we met with the Finance Manager I brought this up and he said that I was correct about the cost of the repairs. He asked us to give him a couple minutes so he could go see if he could do anything for us. About five minutes later he came back in and said that the car was being sold "As Is" and that there was nothing he could do. I told him they should have shown the inspection report to us at the beginning so we wouldn't have waisted almost 4 hours and that we were not going to buy a car for almost $8600 only the have to spend between $2000 and $2500 to fix it as soon as we drove it off the lot. DON'T go to BMW of Mountain View to buy a used car. They present themselves as being honest and so above board since they are BMW and part of the Auto Nation network. These guys are completely DISHONEST and tried to pull a fast one on us to get us to buy a car that they knew needed a lot of expensive work to make it safe for a 17 year old to drive. More

Bad experience buying a car I leased a BMW X3 from BMW of Mountain View recently. I was happy with the sales person (Greg). He did very well. We waited for finance for over 3 hou I leased a BMW X3 from BMW of Mountain View recently. I was happy with the sales person (Greg). He did very well. We waited for finance for over 3 hours. We had our 2 children with us and it took a long long time for paperwork, very unpleasant that I completely forgot that my wife wanted navigation on the car. The day after we leased, I requested a similar car with navigation as my wife was new to the area and definitely needed navigation. I emailed the sales manager. At the same time, I called the general manager and left a voicemail. The general manager NEVER returned my call ... too busy to talk to the customer! The sales manager also practically hung up on me on our last call. While on the phone talking with me, he said he got busy and he would call me back but he never called! The sales manager came up with all kinds of excuses to avoid my request, although it could have been a simple task. I was VERY unhappy. This is an Auto Nation dealership. I tried to find the phone number or email address to Auto Nation customer service but no such a thing exists!!! Very bad experience altogether, specially I find it very disrespectful for the general manager of this store to ignore customers. I would go elsewhere the next time. I would not recommend this dealership. More
Horrible Experience trying to buy a car The worst experience I have ever had trying to buy a car. I went in to look at a 2014 BMW I3 on a Tuesday night. My sales guy Greg did a great job a The worst experience I have ever had trying to buy a car. I went in to look at a 2014 BMW I3 on a Tuesday night. My sales guy Greg did a great job and i really liked the car. I went back to the dealership per my appointment on Friday afternoon with a Cashiers check for the full amount of the car. I signed the paperwork and let Greg know i would be back Saturday (next day) to pick up the car and drive it away. We made an appointment for 2pm. I arrived at 2pm on Saturday and Greg told me that there was a problem and the car that i bought and paid for the previous day was sold sometime between my Friday afternoon appointment and my Saturday afternoon appointment. As you can imagine i was steaming mad! I was taken into PJ Roshan's office, he is the General Manager of the dealership. This guy barely cared what had happened to me and tried to make it sound like it was my fault the car was sold out from under me. His exact statement was "why didn't you drive the car home yesterday". I did not drive it home the day i bought it and paid for it because i did not have a ride to the dealership that day and would never think in any scenario that a car that I paid for would be sold out from under me. He said he had some alternative options on cars but could NOT give me a better deal as they are a one price dealership under the AutoNation group. So, i get no car, not better deal on another car and am totally screwed. PJ had zero remorse and when i was given back my paperwork, he took it all out of the folder and didn't even want to give me the xxxx folder. I would have expected a follow up call from this so called General Manager but have received nothing. No call, no deal on another car, absolutely NOTHING. I am extremely disappointed in my dealings with this dealership and absolutely disappointed in the customer service from PJ Roshan. I wish anyone luck that has to deal with this pompous person who does not respect his customers. My guess is that the person who bought the car from under me was probably financing it versus my paying cash and the dealership would make more money off of the financing sale. I will take my money elsewhere and would hope that PJ Roshan learns how to treat a customer. More
Never again Ordered a X3 in April, finally came in August. Financing through BMW was arranged in advance. We made an appointment to pick the car up at 4. They kep Ordered a X3 in April, finally came in August. Financing through BMW was arranged in advance. We made an appointment to pick the car up at 4. They kept us there for 4 (four hours)! Tried to sell us the Platinum warranty and maintenance plans and made all sorts of false claims (like we are going to need two complete brake jobs before 60,000 miles), and several other rediculous false claims. Paperwork guy got annoyed and rude and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Claimed 99.9% of people buy warranty and maintenance when the truth is that 11.2% do. This place ruined the fun of buying a new car. I recommend Peter Pan. I bought an M3 there and was in and out in 20 mins when I signed for the car. More

Don't waste your time or money on inferior service!!!! Contacted the lot and inquired about the vehicle and then filed the finance application with Ardavan Ghassemi. The vehicle was actually in service dur Contacted the lot and inquired about the vehicle and then filed the finance application with Ardavan Ghassemi. The vehicle was actually in service during this portion. I finally received financing options after it was released from service, over a week later. I started to make the necessary financial preparations to have the vehicle shipped and insured. I kept the salesman aware of my actions and express my intent to purchase the vehicle. To my surprise, i checked back two business days later and the vehicle had been sold with not even a notification. So basically I got a hard inquiry on my credit report and a waste of my time for no reason. Do not waste your time with Ardavan Ghassemi, if you are sent to him online, call the dealership directly and get an informed associate to help you! More
Service shop is an impersonal assembly line Service was impersonal and process driven. I would never go here except for service under warranty (in other words, when it is free). Mediocre commu Service was impersonal and process driven. I would never go here except for service under warranty (in other words, when it is free). Mediocre communication. Arranged to pick up car after servicing in the evening. Instructed service tech to leave key under the drivers side floor mat (I have an extra). When we came to pick up, key wasn't there. Failed to follow instructions and then required me to go back a second time to pick up the key. And I found this out only after having to call three times. This dealership is operated for its own benefit, not those of its customers. More
