This is for the SERVICE DEPARTMENT. My 2018 BMW 750Ix (43k miles) was on limp-home mode, I took to the service department without digging into the codes myself. They diagnosed the f My 2018 BMW 750Ix (43k miles) was on limp-home mode, I took to the service department without digging into the codes myself. They diagnosed the following needed replacement: injectors #1 and #5 (quoted $3402), wastegate actuator #2 ($2055) and all spark plugs ($707). They bid all three jobs separately (which includes removing all covers, gaining access) when all three jobs were in the same region, for a cumulative MINIMUM price of $6164 plus taxes. Injector #5 was fine, didn't need replacement, only #1 did (obvious, as only plug #1 was fouled, all others were fine). Tech misdiagnosed #5 due to misfires, that were caused by the original coil packs needing replacement. I bought $1200 worth of parts, worked on car 12 hours, and it's now PERFECT. One of their techs could have done the job done in <8 hours, even taking their time and a long lunch break ($1200 labor). If they charged DOUBLE the price on parts from what I got, $2400, you'd STILL get a total bill of LESS than $4k. I can't address their sales team, but I can say with absolute certainty that their service department will happily rip your face off, without compunction. Better to use Dubbles or somebody else. These guys are disgusting. More

BUYER BEWARE/GO ELSEWHERE FOR SERVICE. I have owned multiple BMWs and the service department at Reading is the absolute worst. Took my 535D in for recall work (EGR Cooler) which they said was fine and multiple BMWs and the service department at Reading is the absolute worst. Took my 535D in for recall work (EGR Cooler) which they said was fine and the reason for a code my car was throwing was due to a bad sensor. They replace the sensor…doesn’t fix the issue. They decide to do the recall work…doesn’t fix the issue. I tell them I guarantee its the EGR valve which is under warranty and they wont replace it. They want to do a smoke test and replace a back pressure tube first….cause steps in a process. I explain that the EGR valve is under warranty and is most likely the issue. They wont repair so i tell them to give me my car back and i will take it to an Indy shop. Indy shop says…yup its the EGR valve. I paid 1K for work at BMW of Reading that didn’t need to be done and they refuse to reimburse the EGR valve repair costs or diagnostic fee. They reply…you should have let us replace all the parts in the steps until we got to the EGR valve. I will continue to purchase my cars and services from anywhere but this trash dealership.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT THIS DEALERSHIP!This DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT THIS DEALERSHIP! This dealership caused nothing but stress, frustration, and disappointment. My daughter and I wer DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT THIS DEALERSHIP! This dealership caused nothing but stress, frustration, and disappointment. My daughter and I were looking to purchase the 2015 Mercedes Benz C-class 300 they have listed on their website. We drove an hour and a half to look at the car, the salesman said if we liked it we could take it back home with us for a couple of days to see how it drove, be able to get our mechanic to look at it, and to get a better feel of the vehicle. After driving the Mercedes for a few days and paying our mechanic to take a look at it, we fell in love with the vehicle but there were some things that needed to be fixed. We then returned the vehicle to the dealership and told the salesman our concerns to see what can be done since we were very interested in purchasing the car. He then told us he would speak to his General Manager and get back to us that night. After not hearing back for a day I texted the salesman and he then informed us that they had sold the vehicle. We were in shock and frustrated on how poorly they handled their communication. After being let down we continued our search for a car. A week later the salesman Korbin texts us back to inform us that the person who was going to buy the C-300 backed out of the deal and asked us if we were still interested in purchasing the C-300. We said yes that we would be interested and were ready to buy as long as they fix the issues with the car. The main issue followed by a couple of minor ones was the interior headlining of the sunroof was falling apart ( looks as if caused by water damage ) and a clamp was broke leaving a rattling noise when driving the vehicle. I asked the sales rep numerous times to have the General Manager call me, instead the sales rep would text us the response he was getting from his General Manager. This was very frustrating, finally, they agreed to sell us the car even though I was financing the Benz through my Credit Union, which they were not happy with. After waiting and discussing back and forth they told us that they agreed to fix the car since we agreed to purchase the vehicle. They said they would call us on Monday and let us know that the car was fixed and we can pick it up. Then I received a text from the sales rep Korbin with two pictures of the headliner repair and text that read" (The headliner repair tech was able to fix this the best they could. They say the only way to permanently fix this is to replace the entire headline unit which is several thousand and we just cannot do the service for that on this vehicle. Also, the clips you talked about are part of the unit and cannot be replaced. Let me know if this is acceptable and you want me to move forward with servicing the Aserice and door light bulb.) Looking at the image we were hit again with devastating news. We could not believe our eyes, their idea of fixing it was putting two buttons on the top corners of the vehicle. It looked terrible and was not fixed at all! He had told us this is the best they can do since it would cost them thousands of dollars to fix and they cannot afford to do that. More

My sales experience After doing a lot of research and price comparisons I called BMW of Reading and inquired about a 2019 X3 that was a service loaner with less than 2500 After doing a lot of research and price comparisons I called BMW of Reading and inquired about a 2019 X3 that was a service loaner with less than 2500 miles. I dealt with Jess Kreider who couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. In addition to getting a good price (based on my research) and a reasonable trade in value I had a pleasant and seemless experience. No pressure, no hype. More

Happy buying experience! Recently purchased a 2017 330ix for my wife. Reached out to this dealership from Ohio as they had the car we were looking for. Jay Simon was my sales Recently purchased a 2017 330ix for my wife. Reached out to this dealership from Ohio as they had the car we were looking for. Jay Simon was my sales person, and he couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our buying experience. He got us a great deal with virtually no haggling back and forth, which was nice. Transported the car to Ohio, and my wife is very pleased. Can’t say enough good things about this dealership and Jay. Three years from now when the lease runs out I will be back in touch. Hopefully in our travels we will be able to stop by the dealership some day and introduce ourselves. We highly recommend this dealership. Jerry & Connie Beltempo More

I showed up at the service desk with no appointment. Not only was Steve - and Derek - able to get my car into the shop immediately, they found a new 4 series loaner for me to drive for a few hours and returned my car washed and cleaned. Another super job!! Thanks guys. More
