If I could give zero starts I would. List of problems. 1. We were charged $400 for a 48 cancellation that we told them we weren’t going to cancel and didn’t want that charge. 2. The List of problems. 1. We were charged $400 for a 48 cancellation that we told them we weren’t going to cancel and didn’t want that charge. 2. The red headed manager said in order to make the deal he would Theo in all weather mats. 2 mats came in and the back and forth for over a month. He said he didn’t include a trunk mat and that our salesman jt would have to pay for it. 3. We needed up selling the car because I couldn’t stand where it came from. Feb 16 I sold the car and bmw slo told us we would be getting a check back for extra warranties we purchased. Here I am April 16 I’ve called weekly for two months and they always say ( someone was going to call me back) no one ever has. I finally got through to someone after threatening to come to the store and cause a scene. BMW NEVER CANCELLED MY EXTRA WARRENTIES! This place is full of liars, scammers and thieves. I would never trust them or refer anyone to them More

Parts couldn’t fix my spoiler on my brand new car that was falling off. Three different appointments and still couldn’t. Hilariously sad. Anyway, service manager wouldn’t do anything about the overspray I was falling off. Three different appointments and still couldn’t. Hilariously sad. Anyway, service manager wouldn’t do anything about the overspray I found and the calcium deposit on the rear window, indicating repairs. On a brand “new” car. Sold new damaged goods. The last straw was when Tony Vital, a SA, tried charging me $2,800 or so on a part that was supposedly causing my front left tires toe measurement to be off. So it was driving pretty bad. Tony tried to pull a fast one. I know he gets a cut. I of course didn’t go through with it. Found the part online for $398. Some lack character and respect, nothing new. BMW makes amazing cars, it’s a shame some people cannot have ownership of one without the ill advised tactics used by the places that sell them. All they do is sell them, that’s it. At least in my experience. Hope this helps someone. More

Buying a car is no fun and unfortunately, this incident proved it. Started out great by reading some good reviews. Had a few hours before the Niners NFC championship game (painful loss) so I called on an M proved it. Started out great by reading some good reviews. Had a few hours before the Niners NFC championship game (painful loss) so I called on an M6 at BMW of SLO. Worked really well with Mitch, super responsive with pics and videos. Did ample research as the car did have some flaws; 3 bad tires, record damage on CARFAX, etc... but everything else seemed ok so I was willing to negotiate a purchase. Mitch passed me along to his Finance Mgr. and that's when it soured. Proceeded to tell Jose my findings and told him that I would make an offer to see if the offer would be good for both parties. Before I could finish, Jose Interrupted me to say that the price was firm and that it was priced appropriately when compared to the current listing and implied that the price I saw is the price I had to pay in order to get the car. I politely disagreed with him but accepted the fact that it was non-negotiable and stated that I also didn't want to buy in a car bubble. Amazingly enough, he stupidly didn't know what a car bubble was and proceeded to educate me that the price of everything is inflated so as to rationalize his firm and non-negotiable position. I guess that's the industry's environment right now with chip shortage, low supply, and high demand, allowing for brazen car dealer attitudes. It actually took me by surprise as most reviews were good about this dealer. That on me and my naivety. Oh, a few days later, the price of the same car dropped. So much for their non-negotiable position. They felt compelled to use the numbers l888 in their pricing. Wonder why? Coincidence that it's Chinese New Year! BTW- I'm also that person that a snotty salesperson mistreats only to find out later that I've owned many highend BMW, Mercedes, and now a Maserati! Don't let this review keep u from working with Mitch. Just don't be as naive as I was. More
