Beverly Hills BMW - Service Center

They repaired the Recall on the BMW Battery cable (5 and 6 series 2004-10) and one week later the Battery Safety Terminal went bad (attached by a wire to the part they repaired). They wanted $870.00 to fix 6 series 2004-10) and one week later the Battery Safety Terminal went bad (attached by a wire to the part they repaired). They wanted $870.00 to fix that. The service representative was rude and said I was just trying to avoid paying by blaming them for their faulty repair work. It's obviously related to the recall repair they did since it's connected directly to the place they worked on. They denied responsibility and said it was just an unusual coincidence, andI had to pay to get it fixed. I even spoke w/ the highest level supervisor in the Service department, and he was rude and basically hung up on me. The recall is suppossed to be free and mandated by the NHTSA (Goverment) so I reported them, and also reported them to the BBB, and California DA Consumer Affairs. More

Brought a 2-month old 328ci in for service because the car would not cool off. It took two visits to this dealer before their service experts discovered/admitted that the a/c was working at only 70% capac car would not cool off. It took two visits to this dealer before their service experts discovered/admitted that the a/c was working at only 70% capacity. The car was often too hot to ride in. In year-and-a-half interim between the complaint and the fix, I was given ridiculous explanations like: "The a/c works by pulling moisture from the air, and since you live in a dry environment, it won't work as well." So much for German engineering. Several months later, I brought the car in again because the hood came loose while driving on the freeway. I was told that this was a problem with the new 3-Series, so I brought the car in and it was ostensibly fixed -- only a couple months later the hood came loose yet again while driving on the freeway. It ultimately took two trips to this dealer in order to fix an issue so dangerous, it could have cost lives. Among them, my own. Or yours, if you were the one next to me on the I-10 that day. In comparison to that, the other stuff seems like griping, but it's not irrelevant: I would make an appointment for service, but would still have to wait an hour. I'd be promised a loaner, only to find out no loaner was available. I'd then be promised a rental, only to find out no rental was available. Rarely would I get a call telling me that my car was ready for pick-up, forcing me to check daily to see what sort of progress was being made. Unfortunately, this brand-new car had a litany of problems and it seemed that I was always at the mercy of the merclilessly incompetent folks in Service: (among the minor woes: the headrest motor broke, trunk release broke twice, the convertible top wouldn't go down). After 3 years, the car only has 16,000 miles -- that's how much I loved driving it. Then, the last straw with this Ultimate Driving Machine -- I hit a pot-hole on La Cienega and blew 3 tires. Not one, not two, but three. I was told that the run-flats will do that: Go Flat. Go figure. And go somewhere else, if you can. More

Came in to get the missing bracket for license plate installed, because upon request via telephone, an employee promised it would be done quickly. First thing they do when we bring in the car to have t installed, because upon request via telephone, an employee promised it would be done quickly. First thing they do when we bring in the car to have this simple task done is accuse us of having the bracket already installed but "getting into an accident," "impact," "mysterious theft," etc. causing the bracket and license plate to "fall off." Their illogical, accusatory argument comes across as reluctance to accept that they sold the car w/o ever placing the bracket in the first place, dumping the blame and responsibility upon the customer. Rudeness, dishonesty, and irresponsibility in one package. Not surprising why they have so many dissatisfied customers. Not worth our time when simple service which customers should be getting is being denied. More

Terrible service, and extremely rude service advisor. Never again. BTW, my original issue was never fixed. The service advisor(Donna) has no idea what she's talking about, she needs to really learn Never again. BTW, my original issue was never fixed. The service advisor(Donna) has no idea what she's talking about, she needs to really learn a thing or two about her job. My impression is, she doesn't care. More

Terrible service. Extremely unprofessional. Don't answer the phone; don't return phone calls. Will charge whatever they want and will not give you your car back unless you pay. This is basically, i answer the phone; don't return phone calls. Will charge whatever they want and will not give you your car back unless you pay. This is basically, in my opinion, and extortion racket. I would not recommend that anyone go there for warranty service on their car. More

They have the worst customer service of any company I have ever dealt with in my entire adult life. It is horrifying...not only are they rude and dismissive - but they fail to deliver on any and all pro have ever dealt with in my entire adult life. It is horrifying...not only are they rude and dismissive - but they fail to deliver on any and all promises. Most recently I received charges for a *LOANER* car they had rented for me in 2008. It is now 2010...but they had failed to pay the rental company they do business with and the rental company has turned around and started charging the individuals directly. After three months of trying to get them to reimburse me for these charges they finally sent me a check - for less than I was owed. They have lost a loyal customer... More

I didn't buy my 2004 325ci at Beverly Hills BMW but have taken it there for 2 years for maintenance and service, because it's close to my office. Every visit has been a positive experience. In particular, taken it there for 2 years for maintenance and service, because it's close to my office. Every visit has been a positive experience. In particular, my service advisor, Paul Sanhaphakd, is the best. He has worked me in with last minute problems a couple of times, and always arranged for very fair treatment in determining if a repair is going to be covered by warranty or not. The service department gets me in and out very quickly...often within the same day. I have an extended warranty, and have been in for a few regularly scheduled maintenance trips, which have always been smooth. I have been able to drop off quickly in the mornings, Paul checks in with me during the day on the status of the maintenance and target pickup time, and the car has always been ready when I arrived to get it. They handle people fairly quickly in the Service area, even with a pretty high volume of customers coming through. I've never waited more than 20 minutes during drop-off or pickup, and generally less time. I've had a couple of minor issues with stereo system, trunk lighting, etc, and the service department has corrected these problems at no charge. I recommend them highly. More

Just had the first service on my 2007 550i leased in April 2006 (via Neda - great sales experience by the way) I had some minor issues with the car in terms of transmission smoothness, etc. and everyth April 2006 (via Neda - great sales experience by the way) I had some minor issues with the car in terms of transmission smoothness, etc. and everything was taken care of perfectly. Can't recommend them highly enough. While it does get crowded now, thing will be better in a while as they are going to be constructing a new facility with much more space for the service drive, etc. More
