  • Poor M3 service

    1 out of 5 starsby Terranced53 on 03/29/2024

    I am completely dissatisfied with the service that I received from BMW of Columbia service department. They failed to communicate effectively, or at all, I was never offered a loaner although they had my car for over 45 days, I was not… treated like a customer who just purchased an M3.

  • Not good customer service.

    1 out of 5 starsby RMccray on 03/04/2024

    My service guy was Charles(chuck)Baker. I was not satisfied how he handled me… I got there at 8something. My appointment was 9:30. I didn’t get any feedback until after 12something…. My car is my transportation to get my children to their… school and pick them up.. He was busy talking to other people around far as customers(women) to be exact and other workers. I’m there waiting. It was until I went to him to find out what was the case when he talked to me to inform me of my car status.. My car went there on a Wednesday. I left it there cuz I had to make other moves for my family. I didn’t hear nothing back until I called Friday to check. Then a bmw text line text me saying my car should be ready the following Tuesday…. Then when I got there Tuesday to pay, he referred to me as “Oh you the one with the little warranty”. My wife came in with me and she said something to him about his smart remark. He then lied and said no I said you can’t use your coupon with a warranty claim. Very inappropriate comment.
    • Thank you for your feedback, please know that we are looking into your concerns and will reply back to you soon.

  • Check Engine Light fixed

    5 out of 5 starsby Nemery89 on 03/01/2024

    I have been coming to this dealership for maintenance going on 4 years and have always been treated with respect and professionalism. They have gone the extra mile each time I had major/expensive maintenance done to ensure I get the best… deal. I may not have bought my current BMW at this dealership, but my next one will absolutely be from BMW of Columbia.

  • Mr Jose Elizabeth

    2 out of 5 starsby Pana1173 on 02/28/2024

    Oil change turned into a whole day service. In at 7:30 a.m. and ended at 4:30 p.m. Charged for a secondary service that was not part of the vehicle problem. Incorrect service charge.

  • Happy to be fixed

    5 out of 5 starsby 1happycustmr on 02/20/2024

    My service guy is always very respectful and responsive to my needs. He takes the time to explain what’s needed and assist in providing options for repair. He is trustworthy and therefore makes his customers feel a since of comfort in… knowing that the issues wull ve resolved. My comment below about the price paid for service more so applies to the high cost of labor for repairs.

  • Bad Service

    1 out of 5 starsby Badbizz on 02/16/2024

    Took my car in for a diagnostic test that’s usually about $200. To only find out the price went up to $250. Advisor Demetrius was very condescending and not professional. The price of labor is $250 an hour which is ridiculous. Towed my car… to another shop that charges less and does better work.
    • Thank you for your feedback, please know that we are looking into your concerns and will reply back to you soon.

  • Easy and fair ordering and purchase process

    5 out of 5 starsby Crashfire on 01/23/2024

    German cars weren't even on our radar. After looking at Lexus, Genesis and a few others we decided to look at BMW. Initially, we were looking at the X5 but the dealership had a X3 M40 in the showroom. She liked it better. We were given the… option of ordering one to our build for the same price and it would be built the following month. It was built 2 days early, delivered 3 days later. Easy process, fair price. David McElveen was our sales person who was great and not pushy at all. No pressure. 5 stars!
    • It's fantastic to hear about your positive experience with the BMW purchase process! We appreciate you sharing your journey from initially not considering German cars to finding the perfect fit with the BMW X3 M40. The fact that you were given the option to order a custom build and that the process was straightforward is wonderful. It's also great to know that David provided excellent and pressure-free assistance. We're delighted to have earned your 5-star rating! Thank you for choosing us, and we hope you thoroughly enjoy your BMW!
