This is my 2nd review in as many weeks. My advice is don’t pay for a diagnostic.check during any routine visits. They did the first one around March, found nothing, adding “all engine coola My advice is don’t pay for a diagnostic.check during any routine visits. They did the first one around March, found nothing, adding “all engine coolant reservoir hoses looked good” (on video) and yet a couple months later (after paying for a tow and another diagnostic check), I’m told 3 hoses leading in/out of the engine coolant reservoir failed and that would be $4,000. They also told me “there’s no way to tell if a hose is about to fail”. The 3 replacement hoses retail for less than $400. Visit #3; and another $200 diagnostic check, along with routine brake pads, indicate rotors are good at 70-80%. My car upon pickup had an ear-piercing squealing noise. After 2 days of this embarrassing noise, I contacted BMW and was told, “the noise is normal and could last 400-500 miles”. This noise was not normal! After a second and more assertive complaint, I was told to bring it in. Finally, I was told it was indeed the rotors. The rotors, that diagnostic review by their mechanic, they said was “good”! That’s 2 more days in the shop, no loaner, and inconvenience to our family for rides. $600 in worthless diagnostic checks, I expected either a call from a manager or a refund for worthless diagnostic check fees. Don’t waste your money and more importantly, your time. More

Took car in for a specific reason that was already diagnosed and a known issue, the air block next to compressor was leaking for rear air bags. Said it when scheduled and again when dropping off. She diagnosed and a known issue, the air block next to compressor was leaking for rear air bags. Said it when scheduled and again when dropping off. She stated it was a 215 diagnostic fee and I said fine but I’m telling you what it is as well. When I got the diagnostic video the tech recommended that we replace the rear airbags because that was most common. I told him that the bags were replaced 7 months ago and the problem was the airlines going into the block were stripped and leaking. I was called back and quoted an additional 650 dollar diagnostic fee bringing the total for diagnostics to 850 dollars to just look at what we already knew the problem to be. I went to dealership to pick up my car and asked to speak to service manager. He never came out to talk to me and instead just waived the original 215 dollars. I took the car home and in less than 2 hours I removed wheels and inspected the rear bags, I dropped the panel to get access to the air block. Sprayed the block with soapy solution and confirmed the air block was leaking. we dropped the compressor and changed out the block and put everything back together in a total time of 2 hours. The reason I was bringing it to the dealership was 10 days prior while in Dallas TX I suffered a stroke and spent 5 days in the hospital. I did not want to deal with it. However after this experience with the dealership I strongly believe that you are taking advantage of people. If I would have followed your techs suggestions and replaced air bags I would have got my car back and the issue of the leaking block would have not been fixed. Also you wanted 850 dollars to diagnose something that took 2 hours to fix. More
