So disappointed in the professionalism of the Manger, Eissa at BMW Collision Center. As a BMW CLIENT of 12 years and bought 5 cars consecutively through BMW/Mini in Southern California NEVER EVER have I encountered a BMW representative who was rude, arrogant, cocky, mean, disrespectful, snappy, and who lack customer skills.
As a BMW client we hold the BMW reps to a higher level of customer service. Unfortunately, this place is not a true representation of the EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE BMW EXPERIENCE.
I do not live in Bakersfield, I live in Los Angeles county and I could have taken my car to any place in Southern California. I took my car here b/c it came highly recommended. Never ever will I do business in Bakersfield or with this BMW. I'm extremely hurt and disappointed by the I was treated on the phone with Eissa, Manager of BMW Collision Center.
I asked Eissa if he would be willing to cover my car rental for the extended time that it is in the shop (b/c being with BMW for so long, if your car isn't ready they will give you a loaner or cover your rental) Eissa said, "No" That it wasn't my fault that my car wasn't ready in time. After, going back and forth FOR 5 long minutes of being rude, snappy, jumping to conclusions that I owe money (when my insurance already paid everything), mean and disrespectful. Eissa finally said, "I will cover your car rental for ONE extra day, it's only $35 to make this problem go away. After, that if the car isn't ready in time......," then that's on you. I'm shocked. Just completely shocked in his behavior.
What "MANAGER" tells a client who is giving you business, who lives 2hrs away, who had other options, who's insurance already paid use that kind of tone with a BMW CLIENT.
There's a reason why you pay more for cars, you expect more from the service. It's an expectation b/c it comes along with the name BMW. To be treated any less than is unacceptable.
If you have to take your car to a BMW Collision Center, I just googled another one Alhambra in Los Angeles.
If your buying another BMW take it to BMW OF VALENCIA, MONROVIA, CALABASAS, and LAS VEGAS. They will treat you AMAZING and they're customer service is EXCEPTIONAL. If you live in Bakersfield just make the drive. It will be worth it.
I'll keep you updated how it goes tomorrow. Maybe he was having a bad a day and tomorrow will be better one. I hope so b/c this just completely through me off this morning. This behavior is not why I buy BMW/MINI products. I didn't even get an apology after he accused me of owing my deductible, that my insurance already paid for two weeks ago. He even yelled at me and said who's going to pick up your car? Like I'm going to leave my car there. WOW!!! I can't. read more
