Attentive, Professional, Knowledgeable, On Time, Enjoyable, Steve was terrific about understanding my needs, walking through the X7 in great detail (I am a detailed guy) and helping me build the car of my dream Steve was terrific about understanding my needs, walking through the X7 in great detail (I am a detailed guy) and helping me build the car of my dreams. He stayed in touch through every step of production and car was delivered about 1 and 1/2 weeks early. He is high energy and coordinated all other support within the dealership on final purchasing etc. I highly recommend working with him Charlie More

I purchased a car for my mother and brough her in with me and Mr. Lerner made her feel like she was more than just a customer.He engaged in conversation to get to know who she was and shared who he was.After our transaction he took extra time and patients to make sure my mother was very comfortable in knowing all she needed to know about the car and rode around with her to make sure she felt good driving it.To me thats going a extra step my mother and i am truly greatful.Thank You so much Dwayne & Shirley More

I want to start off by saying that I don’t usually write reviews, good or bad. My recent interaction with Richmond BMW, however, has moved me to do so. My intent is to simply relay my experience and let the reviews, good or bad. My recent interaction with Richmond BMW, however, has moved me to do so. My intent is to simply relay my experience and let the reader judge for themselves. I’ve heard the saying that “Someone who is given good customer service will tell 10 people, but, if they are given bad customer service, they will tell 100.” Well, If you’re reading this, you are part of my 100. I came across the listing for a 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS w/ only 35k miles for $36450. Great price for that mileage. They have a feature on the site called PUSHSTART, a way to begin the purchase process online. I chose this option in order to get a jump on ‘the competition’ as I didn’t think it would last long at that price. Here’s a summary of the offer I was given from Richmond BMW’s own website using their own buying tool: 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab Denali Pickup 4D 5 3/4 ft 35k - 40k miles Very good condition Estimated value: $25,105.00 Payoff: 00.00 ————————————————- Net Value: $25,105.00 I was very pleased with 25k for my trade and excited to get the ball rolling. A disclaimer advised that actual trade in value would be finalized by a vehicle inspection, so I assumed that number had the potential to be slightly massaged one way or the other, ok, no big deal. Continuing on through buying tool, it finished with the following offer: Retail price: $36,450.00 Trade credit: -$25,105.00 Subtotal: $11,345.00 Fees: $1246.00 Reg fee $36 Title fee $52 Processing fee $579 Sales tax: $340.35 Total: $12,931.35 The next morning, I called Richmond BMW first thing to “lock down” (my term) the car with a deposit until I could arrive on site with my trade. I began dealing with Eve Eden, Internet Sales Manager. She advised she could place a hold on the car with a $500 deposit which I was more than happy to do. She then asked how I was buying the car. I immediately noticed a let down in her voice when I mentioned a trade and financing of the difference. It seemed almost as if she was disappointed I wasn’t using cash. Her tone with me changed and from that point requested we communicate only via text. I took that as she didn’t want to be bothered. She did send me a trade-in form to fill out as well as a link to a credit app. I filled out the trade from again and after some time, got the following offer sheet: MSRP/Sales price: $36,450.00 Resistall $699.00 Sales price subtotal: $37,149.00 Trade Allowance: $21,000.00 Trade Difference: $16,149.00 Tax: $501.84 Tag and Title fee: $458.46 Processing fee: $579.00 Balance Forward: $17,688.30 Noteworthy here is the $4000 reduction in trade value, the addition of ‘Resistall’, an unnecessary paint protector (just wax) for 700 bucks!! and the expanded Tag/Title fee of $458, up from $88 on online offer sheet. I’m from NC, so it should be $134 but not nitpicking. Although a difference of $4700 might not make the cash buyers Eve Eden would rather deal with blink, its a he** of a lot of money to a working class schlub like me. Not sure why they tout this PUSHSTART tool when they have no intentions to honor it. So upon my insistence that they accept the numbers from their own company’s buying tool, she advises me that her GM is working a deal with another client for the very car I requested, and thought I paid for a hold on, and that she would “Let me know how it goes”.. 2 days... crickets..... So people, PLS be aware of the unprofessional sales practices (seems a bit ‘bait & switchy’to me) you may encounter as I did at Richmond BMW and keep your wits about you. More

Thank you for very kind attention while dealing with us during our purchase of the 2020 X5. Going from the Audi Q7 to the BMW X5, we were not fully committed. Your knowledge and professional attitude wer during our purchase of the 2020 X5. Going from the Audi Q7 to the BMW X5, we were not fully committed. Your knowledge and professional attitude were demonstrated repeatedly from the moment we first met, through our departure from Crown BMW’s lot. The details count. Like you answering my wife’s after hours questions via email and your superb recommendation for us to eat at nearby Zorba's Italian/ Greek restaurant. (great linguine & clams in red sauce). I counted in my lifetime, 17 car purchases, having had all types of experiences. You and your Crown Team rank amongst the best for providing a pleasant car buying experience. Thank you Tom & Pauline Toano, VA More

Steve Lerner, our salesman Steve met us with enthusiasm and openness, eager to hear exactly what we wanted in our car purchase and eager to meet our needs. He is a person of hi Steve met us with enthusiasm and openness, eager to hear exactly what we wanted in our car purchase and eager to meet our needs. He is a person of high energy who moves quickly and can juggle several issues at the same time--he dealt with our trade-in, loan, and new car in very little time and checked often to be sure that each step of the process was clear to us. Steve focused on our questions and concerns and answered each one patiently from a deep knowledge base. He is a person who enjoys making a personal connection by being a good listener and by interacting in an authentic, transparent manner. We enjoyed the time we spent with Steve and are delighted with our new BMW! We look forward to recommending Steve to friends. More
Simply the best service! After two days of treatment at MCV Massey we pulled away from valet parking only to have a warning indicator come on that said drivetrain malfunction. After two days of treatment at MCV Massey we pulled away from valet parking only to have a warning indicator come on that said drivetrain malfunction. We were an hour away from our home and leaving Richmond for Charlottesville to recuperate and enjoy a little Thanksgiving time together. It was 4:30 p.m. when we called the service department and even though they closed at 5 p.m., they said that if we could get the car there prior to closing they would at least test it to see the code. We were just a few minutes away and rolled in around 4:40. They were preparing to give us a loaner if need be...I mean, who does that? It's hard to get one from a dealer that you actually purchased a car from and have a history with. As it turned out, it was a hundred dollar part that they replaced in a matter of minutes. The service was exceptional. In a matter of a few minutes they had us on our way and wait for it..........they did not charge us a dime. Absolutely unheard of. Thanks so much Richmond BMW, and to Matt Rooney and Thomas Gemellaro. You prefessional service and kindness gave us much to be grateful for during this holiday season. We will continue to sing your praises! More
