The brakes were checked, tire inflation & recall done. No charge. THEN Seth tells me oil gaskets are leaking .to the tune of $2700. I deferred. I left cloth under car overnight. NO leaks. I checked oil sensor gauge. NO change. I had my car checked at Encore 2 weeks before BMW & NO problem. Either Seth was lying, mistaken, misinformed or the mechanic is incompetent or all of these. Either way I am reluctant to return to BMW for service. I will continue to be serviced by Encore on 41. I have owned BMW SINCE 2001 and this has never occurred. More

Just a front headlamp bulb replacement I had a weekend trip planned, so they allowed me to leave car from Friday through Monday and paid for a rental since no Beamer loaners were available.

Verified the availability of a loaner car when I made the appointment. After waiting 2 hours the loaner car finally became available...however my vehicle was almost finished with the repair. I consider a 2 hour wait for a loaner unacceptable. Bmw should not make promises it has not intention of keeping. More

Waited three hours and only got an oil change. I had an appointment to get my oil changed and to have my hatchback fixed.

After three hours I was told the car was done but the hatch back was not fixed as they needed to order a part. When I asked what took three hours to determine what was wrong with my hatchback nobody could give me an answer. Now I have to do it all over again. This dealership is an hour away from my home so it blew most of the day. When I asked how long it would take to replace the part when I came back I once again could not get an answer. Don't you have a book that tells you labor time on all repairs? More

Recall: Blower Motor Wiring, plus multi-point insp. Very disappointed in this dealership! I liked the service manager. Satisfied with recall work and all encountered personnel. However, the mechanics t Very disappointed in this dealership! I liked the service manager. Satisfied with recall work and all encountered personnel. However, the mechanics that worked on my recall said I need $2700 worth of work replacing Oil Filter Housing/O-ring and Oil pan Gasket. I decided to get a second opinion and discovered from another place that no leak was found. So, I really hope the mechanics at this dealership was not trying to fabricate unnecessary work on my vehicle. More

I dropped the c I had my X3 in for its routine service earlier this week and was delighted with the friendliness of all the people I interacted with. I dropped the car off around 4 pm on Monday and requested it be available for pick up before 2 pm the following day. I was informed of the estimated cost via my mobile phone at 8:30 am on Tuesday. I was called to tell me it was ready for pick up around 11. When I arrived at the dealer I had time for a cup of coffee and a cookie before leaving in my vehicle, which had just been washed and vacuumed. More
