Very disappointed with the service center I took my car in bc the check engine light was on bc my gas cap was not closed. To be safe I paid 150.00 for a diagnostic check. Was told it was only I took my car in bc the check engine light was on bc my gas cap was not closed. To be safe I paid 150.00 for a diagnostic check. Was told it was only the gas cap that caused the check engine light to come on. They told me my car was in perfect condition. A month later I drive my car 3 hours away at night, my car told me that my coolant was extremely low. When I got to my destination, car was smoking really bad. Took my car to Century BMW in Greensboro, they put the coolant in my car, all of it immediately came out. The water pump was completely busted. Was told by the tech that the water pump had a leak For a while. When my diagnostic was done at Century BMW in Greenville that there was a drip under my car. The only thing I was told at your location is that my check engine light was on bc my gas cap wasn't closed and everything else was fine. I was on bed rest from a fall after the diagnostic and had only driven my car to the doctor (local) and cvs (local). With that being said i don't feel like the techs did a good job checking my car. This caused a huge inconvenience and extra money. I was stuck 3 hours away from home, right before Christmas Eve. Couldn't find a rental to get home that day. I had to pay for a hotel and when I found a rental the next day, I paid 129.00 for one day because of holiday rates. My car is 3 hours away from me now, im without transportation as well as extra money I spent when all of this could have been avoided with a correct diagnosis of my car. Had I known this in November when I took my car in, I would have had it fixed then. I am not happy at all bc I could have been stranded on the side of the road at night as well as blown my engine. I was told that they are sorry that happened and basically I'm out of all the extra money I spent, my time and barely making it home for Christmas. This is unacceptable for a reputable company such as Century BMW. I will say that Jonathan has always been friendly to work with. My problem is with whomever looked over my car. More

I would not recommend this dealership to anyone looking to purchase a reliable car and superb customer service. The staff avoided me for several days, and my vehicle purchased less than 6 months ago broke down several times. Each time they promise to have fixed it.

Worst Experience of over 45 years of buying vehicles I purchased a 2016 X5 Plug in from Century. It was one of the first to come off the assembly line in Spartanburg and I wanted to buy local so BMW and I purchased a 2016 X5 Plug in from Century. It was one of the first to come off the assembly line in Spartanburg and I wanted to buy local so BMW and Century. I thought I was buying a car that would get great mileage with the electric feature and I invested in a charging station. I have driven hybrid cars for years- owned 7 of them. This vehicle was a terrible choice and I paid over $72,000 for it and was told I would get over 30 miles per gallon. I never got over 24 miles per gallon and I complained to the CEO of the Chain of dealerships, Bruton Smith and to my salesperson, the new car manager, the service manager and to BMW corporate. NO ONE did anything about the issue and all of them kept saying that the car was performing to expectations. Well that is not what the sticker said on the car. For months I asked for a resolution, a trade or a refund. They just ignored me. How many times does someone pay that kind of money to be told you don't matter. They cater to the ultra rich and could care less what the average buyer has to say. Please do not buy from them. Instead if you buy a BMW understand that the corporation does not care about you and neither does the dealership. You are all alone. If you must buy a BMW, buy it from BMW of Asheville. They will treat you with respect and help however they are able. More
Terrible Experience Worst service from a car dealership I have ever received.

Had inquired about purchasing a car and from the start the salesman, Cameron was rude and offensive. I let it go thinking maybe he was just having a bad day in the beginning, but throughout the process he was the furthest thing from helpful or nice. He never called or contacted me in any way regarding the car I was looking to purchase and it was quite frustrating to have to call a car dealership almost daily to even see if a vehicle I was interested in purchasing was even on lot (as it was a loaner) I was honestly ecstatic whenever I called the dealership and Cameron did not answer my call as the other salesman I dealt with was much friendlier and much more helpful. Last week I received my first correspondence back from "my" sales rep Cameron stating he would contact me when the car was back on lot. Needless to say apparently in the one day since he emailed me stating this the car was not only returned but also sold. However I only know this since I looked myself. Did I mention this the was the worst customer service ever? More

I will definitely return for any future Everyone was very friendly and helpful and made you feel that you and your vehicle was there upmost priority.

Simply amazing When I moved to South Carolina, I started servicing my vehicle at Century BMW and due to the excellent service I received, I knew my next BMW would be When I moved to South Carolina, I started servicing my vehicle at Century BMW and due to the excellent service I received, I knew my next BMW would be purchased at Century. I walked into the dealership and was greeted with "hello," not, "what are you looking for." Working with Client advisor, Shane, was amazing. Not only did he show me the exactly vehicle I was interested in, but he was also very knowledgeable of the product and answered every question I had. New car director, Dustin was also great to work with and was extremely respectful of our time. The business manager, Rodney was extremely efficient and had me in and out of his office in only a few minutes. What I like most about my experience was how transparent the staff at Century BMW is. I was treated with complete honesty and not once felt pressured to make a purchase. Taking delivery of my vehicle inside an inclosed carport also a very nice touch that adds to the BMW ownership experience. This is my first BMW purchased at Century BMW and definitely will not be my last. More
SERVICE experience I have been to Century BMW on several occasions for various service issues on my 2001 BMW 530i (many many miles, many problems). Every time, I make an I have been to Century BMW on several occasions for various service issues on my 2001 BMW 530i (many many miles, many problems). Every time, I make an appointment and am met promptly, and leave my car there, so as not to sit around and waste my day. Courtesy travel arrangements are very convenient, rather than having to wait at the dealership. I always get a call the same day with a diagnosis. Most recently (February), I told Dylan -service advisor- that I was on a budget (let's not put too much money into this sinking ship). Same day, he called back and said it was safe to drive, waived the $180 mechanic fee, and I was on my way without cost. Very friendly, helpful, and generous. Will continue to visit for future service needs. More
Great Experience and Customer Service Century provided a great buying experience and expertise in the car I purchased. The GM, Tommy, introduced himself and took me to the lead technician Century provided a great buying experience and expertise in the car I purchased. The GM, Tommy, introduced himself and took me to the lead technician (Jaguar Certified Tech) to answer all of my questions in regards to past service and work performed. The shop facility is spotless and that tells you a lot about a business and how it's run. Then a test drive (with no one accompanying me) to enjoy the car, which I did for the better part of an hour. After returning we worked out a very good, amicable deal with additional incentives to return. He and his staff I met with - Chris, Jana and Greg - made certain everything was in order to get the vehicle I wanted. After Tommy reinspected the vehicle he noticed a few cosmetic details he wanted to insure we're taken care of and is doing a complete detail to insure it looks like it perfect. This is the attention to detail I like and making certain a customer is satisfied is his main priority. Even better - he sees a bigger picture in that he works to see that you'll return for service and future business. Tommy and his team worked very hard to earn the business and I respect that and look forward to working with them again. Great job . . . More
Worst experience in my life I flew down from New York to South Carolina on January 17,2014 to purchase a used vehicle from this dealership. I sat down to do the finance paperwork I flew down from New York to South Carolina on January 17,2014 to purchase a used vehicle from this dealership. I sat down to do the finance paperwork with Jim M and was sold a BMW road hazard tire & wheel protection warranty for $1289/5 Year/Unlimited mileage which is listed on my bill of sale which I am currently paying for. I was driving to work on the morning of October 6th 2014 and my tire light comes on and I pull over and notice I got a flat tire due to a nail. I called a tow truck and got the vehicle towed to my local BMW ($185 out of pocket charge). I get inside the dealership and the service rep asked how I would like to pay. I tell him I have a BMW road hazard tire & wheel protection warranty. The tech checks his system and says he doesnt see anything on file and I should contact the dealership I bought the car from. I called and talked to Rodney and explained my situation and he told me to to pay for the tire and the service and the dealership would reinburse me ($573.91 out of pocket charge). I dont know why my warranty that I paid for is not active. Rodney then fedex me a different warranty that he wanted me to sign that was not unlimited mileage no towing coverage, non bmw warranty basically not what I paid for. I contacted Sonic motor group to see if they can do anything about the situation and Vicky contact the manager who called me the same day I contacted Sonic. He appologized for the mixup and promised to call me the next day. Its been two weeks and I havnt heard anything from the manager who promised to call me back. I lost a day of work and weeks of frustration trying to get my money for the towing and the tire/replacement costs. Emails/phone calls and nobody can help me. Whats going to happen if got forbid I get another flat tire? please think of other options before going to this dealership. The lack of communication and unprofessionalism that I recieved I wouldnt want anyone else to experience that More

When I went to buy a new car, they jacked up my finance rate, then lied to me about it...even though I can and had done the math on it. I finally bought and will service my new BMW elsewhere. More
