Exceptional experience with my first BMW CPO lease I walked in expecting to just look around at the inventory. Sofia Donnelly assisted me in finding the right car. She was patient, professional and kno I walked in expecting to just look around at the inventory. Sofia Donnelly assisted me in finding the right car. She was patient, professional and knowledgeable. The inventory at Weatherford is huge! Sofia made the whole process painless and trouble-free without being pushy. I would highly recommend this dealership and Sofia in sales. Alvin Chandra was also exceptional in the finance department. He explained everything in detail and yet, he was very efficient in the process. Ben was helpful in explaining everything about my new car before I drove off of the lot. He described every button and function of the car and gave me a thorough overview of the navigation system. The entire process at this dealership was smooth and impressive. More

My previous experience at Weatherford wasn't always exceptional so it wasn't my first choice. But, I had a sales professional's name from many years ago, Kevin Thomas, and I knew he was at this dealership now, so I asked for him and he happened to be available. Kevin was helpful, knowledgeable, courteous, and didn't once use car sales jargon (relief) on me. Since I had already driven the model I was interested in, he didn't "force" me to drive a car on the lot just to get me excited about it (like so many salespeople). I test drove another model that I also liked, but ended up with my original choice, a 335i sport line, that had just the right equipment. Making the right deal was simple and utterly painless, and I could not be happier. I will definitely go back to see Kevin when it's time to lease a new car. P.S. I would also like to comment on the friendliness of another sales professional named "John" (I didn't get his last name). After taking delivery, I had to leave my "old" BMW there (I was alone); I went back to get the key the next morning from the Encore representative who had taken it for safe keeping, but he wasn't in that early. After seeing me pacing around the showroom floor while I was waiting for the Encore rep to come in or call in, John asked if I needed help. I told him the story, and he went and found the key for me (a manager had it), so I didn't have to wait. It's not just that he took the time to get my key, but his upbeat and helpful attitude that was a breath of fresh air. It's little things like that that make you feel that professionals like Kevin and John really love what they do and they live customer service. That's rare these days. Thank you guys for caring about all the customers. More

All Around Great Experience The entire experience was quick and smooth from the very start. I looked around the entire Bay Area for the right car and Weatherford BMW had the one. The entire experience was quick and smooth from the very start. I looked around the entire Bay Area for the right car and Weatherford BMW had the one. All of the employees at the dealership were friendly and quick to take care of you. I was helped by Sofia Donnelly, whom was very knowledgable and sincere. She helped make the otherwise stressful situation into a very painless experience. Seemed like she was genuinely interested in helping me through the process, instead of just making a sale. Will definitely be going back, if I am in a similiar situation again. More

Best dealership in the Bay Area Shopped around online to lease a 2015 328i. Chris at Weatherford contacted me and asked what packages and options I was looking for specifically. Othe Shopped around online to lease a 2015 328i. Chris at Weatherford contacted me and asked what packages and options I was looking for specifically. Other dealerships wanted me to come down and look at their inventories. Chris was very effective in communicating with me, and was really adamant about making sure I got a great deal with everything I was looking for. We agreed on a car, price, and terms and I went down later that night to sign the paperwork. We hammered out the final details and signed the paperwork and I was driving home with my new 328i. Weatherford and Chris have great customer service and they genuinely care about you. I'm only going to recommend them to everyone I talk to, and will continue to frequent them for my future BMW purchases. More

Lazy, Not Knowlegeable, Nothing but Excuses, Rude I took my car in because steam was coming out from under the hood, although it wasn't overheating. They did an overheating engine analysis on the car I took my car in because steam was coming out from under the hood, although it wasn't overheating. They did an overheating engine analysis on the car, and of course didn't find any problems. They told me that if something like that happens once in 19,000 mile, I don't have anything to worry about, so, sensing futility, I picked up the car. On the way home the air conditioner wasn't working, and I deduced that the steam was actually gas leaking from the air conditioner. I tried to get them to take the car back in for work, but they wouldn't give me an appointment for two weeks. And they gave me excuses for why they didn't find the problem, and a bunch whining about how mean I was being. Total losers. Go someplace else to buy or service your BMW. More

John's attitude was very energetic and transparent, which made the whole experience easy and stress free. On my first time there, he walked me through the CPO inventory they had and showed me around the lot to help me narrow down which car/model I preferred. On my return trip, I had reached out to him on an off work day, and was very pleased he still made the trip out to the dealership to show me the vehicle I ended up leasing. John's a smart guy and offers great tips for buyers. I would likely come back to see him to purchase a new car in the future. More
