Questionable labor charge practices I came in for a Dinan tune to find out that I was being charged double for labor. I came in today for a Dinan tune for my M3 after receiving a estimat I came in for a Dinan tune to find out that I was being charged double for labor. I came in today for a Dinan tune for my M3 after receiving a estimate several months ago for almost $500.00 when I did the tune on my X5. Today's estimate from Seth was nearly $800 and when I pointed out the issue, the advisor offered to cut the labor in half. This was still unacceptable since it was way more than I was quoted. Of course, the advisor that originally quoted me the lower price has left the business and couldn't be reached on the phone or any quote of the original price. I left without having the tune being done feeling disgusted with them since this isn't the first time they have tried to price gouge me on labor. Upon calling Dinan corporate they advised that the labor should be only 1 hour maximum and not 2 that I was likely being quoted for originally. I find this totally unacceptable business practice to charge people more because they may drive a nicer vehicle. Back in January, BMW of Sarasota's parts department sent me a set of floor mats for an M5 that I never ordered and was done by them by mistake. I called them and offered to take them to a UPS store so they could be shipped back to them. I took time out of my day to do the ethically right thing and return an item that was sent to me by mistake. I could of very easily have sold them online and pocketed the profits and they would have never known. Point being, if I do the ethically right thing, shouldn't you when you charge people? Like I previously said, this isn't the first time in that they tried to charge me $500 to replace a fog light on my 335i. I pointed out that the part is $130 and labor is ten minutes, so how is it $500.00? This is why I don't use them for service typically and I never buy vehicles from them because they up-charge on everything. I certainly will spread the word about their business practices and make sure people know to stay away from them More

Oil change just had the car in for an oil change, which lasted 2-1/2 hours. For an oil change! We had an appointment and thought one hour max! The car had only 5 just had the car in for an oil change, which lasted 2-1/2 hours. For an oil change! We had an appointment and thought one hour max! The car had only 5000 miles on it. We just did it because it's a leased car and we were worried, that we would loose the warranty. And because the dealership told us it's necessary. I really don't know why, since oils these days certainly last more than 5000 miles. What a waste. There are a ton of people running around, but nobody seems to be in charge. I have never seen so many people in one place doing nothing. Amazing. More
