BMW of Tucson

Tucson BMW BEWARE OF PEROWNED CERTIFIED February 27th 2017, Tucson BMW, I would like to give the highest rating for Lance Light the Sales man at the dealer…….An AutoNation’s dealer,,, I have February 27th 2017, Tucson BMW, I would like to give the highest rating for Lance Light the Sales man at the dealer…….An AutoNation’s dealer,,, I have bought from AutoNation’s before and had good dealings.. I bought a 2014 BMW 535d with about 28,765 miles with the original tires on at the point that Chapman BMW said the tires were below safe limits. BUT,,, I wish I could give the minus rating to the Tucson’s BMW senior management and used car manger, technicians who determined my “BMW Certified Pre-owned” car was 100% when I was handed the keys. I tried to express to the salesman and the Manager of sales the tires were below the minimum tread depth… I later found out the “Ware Indicators” are where your Pre-owned should have been checked. BUT Tucson BMW Tech chose to check the tires at the lowest depth of course would pass the Pre-owned inspection… We drove the car home that evening from Tucson I knew the tires were way below the safe limits. We took I10 to Gilbert. I felt the 535 pull every time I switch lanes the tires were the original tire and the 535 now had 28,765 or so…. One of the sales managers PAUL grabbed a tire check gage and showed me the tires had just above 3/32 tread the Key was just above which PAUL said was good for Pre-owned. I told PAUL I have scrapped better tires. Yes I could have left and not bought the car but the car was not the issue. Poor inspection of the car was the issue. All 4 rims had curb damage too which Paul said he would contact us to have the rims repaired. Shortly after we got home I found a service advisor at Chapman BMW. I made an appointment for the tires to be looked at. You would ask why we leaved Tucson BMW with the 535, we loved the “d” for diesel. I contacted a wheel repair person in the Mesa area to repair the rims. He said he would do a touch up of the rims. I wanted a total reface which he said he could not do.. I know I could get that reface tire off the rim repair at The Dent Wizard in Phoenix. I asked the person Paul referred me to how much he charged Tucson BMW to do his repair, he said $65.00 per wheel. I contacted Paul he argued that he would not send me no more than $100.00 in total We have NOT seen even that check yet, I did not agree to the $100.00 I wanted the total he would have paid the wheel guy which equaled to $260.00… I called Tucson BMW asking to talk to the general manager. I was told Ray was that person when I told Ray want I had documented from Chapman BMW (RAY) this all he could do is swear and carry on like a child how Chapman does everything wrong. I tried to explain to RAY that his folks must have checked the tires at the full depth, the check list for Pre-owned says to check the tires at the ware bars. RAY said his folks do no wrong, and he said Paul was a fool PAUL does not know how to check tires. I could not believe how unprofessional this so called general manger responded. BTW RAY bad mouthed PAUL too saying he would not let PAUL work on his car why would I believe PAUL, well I did not believe PAUL. Well I have looked at the “BMW Certified Pre-owned” at Chapman BMW I have always seen brand new tires on all of their Pre-owned.. CONTINUED……………….. I told Ray it would cost me about $1500.00 dollars’ for tires I would expect Tucson BMW to pay for the tires. We love the car I tried to tell Ray. All Ray could say is to bring the 535 back get our car back and $25,000.00 monies down back. I wonder if the $1,500.00 would have been worth it to the higher management in Auto Nations???? YES We love the 535d…. still the 535 is not an issue, the tires and Tucson BMW are the nightmare…. WOW I spent having the Oh we found when we got home in the storage area where a spare tire would go in the battery area. We found nice storage compartment insert was missing. The Tucson’s parts manager is having a challenge finding the correct part, we are told that the wrong one keeps coming in. How do they know the wrong part keeps coming in, they have not tried installing it in my car??? Tired of waiting I will spend $75.00 dollars having John form Chapman BMW order the part… We found out that BMW did not put an insert in the battery area, we checked several 535d BMW’s not insert… BUT I bought one at Chapman BMW and did a little modifying and the insert fits very nice…. Makes the 535 look even better. Yes I did read the reviews from Yelp and Google,, BUT WOW when there is a BMW check list to inspect by how can it get screwed up??? OH BTW BMW North America was USE less… There answer the dealership is independently owned they have no control over the dealership.. WHAT A CROCK, the BMW name in on the Pre-owned check list. I have lost faith in BMW North America too… Not in Chapman though…… If you would like your pro-owned car checked I’m now well versed on the correct way to check the BMW… The below tires are the tires that were on the 535d with less than 29,000 mile if I can post pics. Below 3mm which equals to 0.1181 inch just below 2/32 is rejection, BUT Chapman BMW normally replaces tires that are below 5/32.. A car with new tires sales better that one looking like it needs tires… I thought about it till it was causing restless night sleep. I contacted a local Auto Nations dealer Nissan in Gilbert and talked to their General Manager. Ray would not take my calls, he probably told his staff not to receive or transfer my called to him.. Ray needs to take some management training form this guy. He was very proactive. He said Lou how can I help you resolve this problem. He never bad mouthed the other dealers. He said he would contact Ray and resolve the issue. I did tell this Nissan manager that I wanted the total price of the check. Within a week I did receive a check from Tucson BMW for $708.00, just about half of the cost of the tires What I would like from Tucson BMW is the other half $708 for the tires, and the $260.00 for the rim damage. Here are the supporting photos of the tires. The sellers agreement has the rim repair which I paid out of pocket for. I think Lance did a good job selling me a great car, BMW and Tucson BMW dropped the ball on service and support. BEWARE OF TUCSON BMW………………………………… More

Very disappointed Please consider going to another dealership! The GM is well known to be arrogant with very limited knowledge. The way he conducts business is very emb Please consider going to another dealership! The GM is well known to be arrogant with very limited knowledge. The way he conducts business is very embarrassing. The service department is not staffed with technicians who have adequate training. They replaced gaskets with the incorrect part causing leaks, they overlooked leaking and damaged struts and they left a cabin filter with leaves in it. This service was considered acceptable by the aforementioned GM. Auto Nation should be ashamed that this is occurring. More

Customer Service takes a back seat Recently visited the service department for a scheduled appointment with Ryan to have a recall issue addressed (new brake booster and master cylinder) Recently visited the service department for a scheduled appointment with Ryan to have a recall issue addressed (new brake booster and master cylinder). I pulled into the service bay and parked just outside one of the offices which was occupied. I sat in my car for a few minutes, expecting someone to greet me. That never happened. I went inside to see the receptionist and asked for Ryan. Ryan came out of his office to greet me. Turns out his was the office I pulled in front of and we ended up going right back there. (could have saved me a trip) Ryan set me up in a loaner car and quickly explained the operation. Before I left I was told my car would be done the following morning. Two and a half days later I got a call that my car was ready. No big deal since I had the loaner but there was no effort made in providing a status update. While driving out of the parking lot in my newly repaired car, the brake pedal immediately went to the floor as I nearly coasted out onto the road. I returned to the service department and was greeted by one of the valets who was kind enough to page Ryan. I explained the issue to Ryan and he got a technician to look at my car. They both agreed there was air in the brake lines and they would have to be bled again. When I asked how much more time they needed, I was told not more than 15 minutes. For the next hour I sat in the waiting area, which is more like a gift shop. Not once was I given an update even though the 15 minutes was long gone. When my car was finally ready Ryan gave me the keys and said, "Visually, your car's all ready to go. You've taken good care of it." I responded sarcastically by saying, "Great, I'm glad it's visually ready, nevermind the mechanics or safety of it." I thanked Ryan and left. As I drove back to work I reflected on my experience and realized that I had offered many words of thanks but not once was a thank you given to me. I had a far different experience when I initially went to Blue + White BMW, an independent mechanic. I received a personalized note from the owner thanking me for trusting them with my car and welcoming me to their family. I guess a lot can be learned from the 'little guys'. More

I took my car in for service and was told I needed a new part which cost over $800 only to find out later that the part had been recalled and would be replaced for free. When I called to speak with Jade she wasn't there but the receptionist answering the phone looked me up and saw that it was indeed a recalled part for my car. When I spoke with Jade later her response was, "Well, you would have gotten a refund." That is not how I want to be treated by anyone ever. My husband had a similar experience with this service department and tires for his car. I chose to replace my BMW with a Range Rover from Royal in Tucson and I'm very glad that I did. More

Was looking for a 2014 lease and Clark Kobey helped us, he was amazing in every detail, ordering the car to our specs, tracking it coming from germany, and preparing it for us. I would definitely recommend he was amazing in every detail, ordering the car to our specs, tracking it coming from germany, and preparing it for us. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone considering a BMW. Bonus, sales tax is not city so it's 2% less. More

Previous experience buying a preowned 750LI was very positive - fair trade in value and pleasant experience. Decided to check out a new BMW X5 diesel - went for a test drive and decide we liked it. positive - fair trade in value and pleasant experience. Decided to check out a new BMW X5 diesel - went for a test drive and decide we liked it. Salesman found one with the options and colors we liked and took our trade in for an evaluation. The value given for our trade in we felt was a bit low - when this was mentioned the salesman stated that if you factored in the 6.1% sales tax then they we giving us the near the value we thought should have been offered. We don't believe that the difference between 8.1% and 6.1% sales tax should be factored in for a fair market trade in at the expense of the customer. Really like the vehicle and would have committed if not for that. More

Great buying experience. Everyone was friendly, professional and knew their product very well.

I am pleased with my purchase and service received at BMW Tucson. On my three visits before buying, Tim M. always answered my questions with patience and walk me through the inventory. I also test drove two Tucson. On my three visits before buying, Tim M. always answered my questions with patience and walk me through the inventory. I also test drove two cars. The sales process has a few bumps on the road. At some point, I wasn't please with the attention and atittude of one of the managers (Ted I guess). To be fair, my expectations are a great customer oriented service, clean facility, knowledgeable staff, and several buying options from any BMW dealership. BMW Tucson fulfill these expectations. Now that the sales has been made, the real test comes on the after sale service to be provided. We shall see. More

I like Ron because he is honest and answers all of the questions regarding finance in a way that a regular person can understand and make decisions without feeling ripped off. He is accommodating, arrivin questions regarding finance in a way that a regular person can understand and make decisions without feeling ripped off. He is accommodating, arriving before the dealership opened to keep me on track with commitments later that day. I had a friend with me who said they never liked car salesman but she would buy a car from Ron. More
