Had the most amazing experience with Thomas and his team leasing a new car in December. My husband and I were treated very well despite being new to the BMW family. We were also told that any service we wou leasing a new car in December. My husband and I were treated very well despite being new to the BMW family. We were also told that any service we would receive preferred customer perks like a loaner vehicle. Unfortunately, the service department is an actual joke. Two months into owning my vehicle the check engine light came on. I came in for service thinking it was in error only to be told it “needed” a part - a major surprise. When I asked to speak with a manager I was given the runaround both in person and on the phone. When finally contacted he assured me the part wasn't "missing" but just "failed," not exactly comforting language on a vehicle with less than 3k miles on it. Despite being a “preferred” customer was also told I would need to pay for all of my transportation expenses while they had the vehicle. It wasn’t until after I repeatedly pestered that I was able to get a loaner. I received no further communication about the status of my vehicle until I initiated contact after more than 24 hours. I was also allowed to leave several voicemails for a manager who was apparently out sick after the initial contact. And after 4 days when I went to pick it up, I was taken to the cashier (who was very cold and bothered) who said she had no record of my vehicle or my paperwork. I then had to go back to my service advisor who after several minutes alerted me they had in fact, lost my paperwork. While my car is in fine shape now, the experience has left me extremely disappointed. The entire ordeal was unprofessional and disconcerting and I do not anticipate using SMBMW for service again.

The dealership proved to me that they see their customers primarily as entitled individuals whom they disrespect, and hence believe it is acceptable to leech from them every possible dollar.

The service here is awful. I dropped my car at the dealership in Santa Monica and when they plugged my car to read the service codes THEY FRIED a modular that controls my windo I dropped my car at the dealership in Santa Monica and when they plugged my car to read the service codes THEY FRIED a modular that controls my windows, side mirrors, headlights and back lights, as well as signals. I have it on their own video they provide of their service mechanic admitting that this only happened as he plunged in to the car to read the codes. This was caused by the dealership, I gave them the car with only one issue, fuel pump. Not electrical problems, I had none at all. The dealership called me and sent me an invoice trying to CHARHE me to fix the modular they burnt for $1,700. When I refused to pay they agreed to fix it. Well I got my car back with the lights working and signals but now my windows and side mirrors still don’t work. So I asked them to fix the problem as it was caused by them in the first place and they refused, they asked for me to pay $700 as now the window switch modular is burnt. I talked to the service manager Daniel Garcia and he admitted that this is a problem they face all the time with BMW vehicles when they try and plug in to the cars and read codes. He said it “locks up everything” after going back and forth with him and BMW to pay for the issue they caused they came back later and still refused to fix the problem. They take your car, burn a few Modular’s, admit it on the service video, agree with you that it’s a problem caused by them when they plug in into your car but they will have the audacity to bill you for it first to see if you’re going to question it. They will also refuse to fix issues cussed by them when they ADMIT it’s an issue that they face all the time with their cars. Stay away from this dealership. I will be sending a letter and email to BMW for this awful sloppy service. You come in with one problem and leave with 90 caused by the dealership. Note: all of this happened over 2 and half weeks and they didn’t even give me a loaner!!!!! More
