Absolutely the WORST car buying experience that I've EVER experienced. I don't even know where to start...
Client Advisor: DAVID REYNOSO
I don't believe in "bad talking" any person, but I will state these facts: This guy was absolutely unpleasant our entire interaction. He was patronizing and incompetent in many degrees.1) I called to enquire about a vehicle that he assured me was available. I expressed my interest in the car, and he told me that he was busy and would call me back to take my deposit to hold the car. HOURS later he calls me back to take my deposit, only to call back again to tell me that the car was sold. 2) After finding another vehicle (he was no help in explaining vehicle features), I came to test drive the car. David was not there, but his manager Robert Trax was. I gave him a copy of my DL to dive the vehicle, and left with the intention to purchase the car (I had external financing, so we had to wait for the check to be delivered to the dealership).
Things got progressively worse... 3) Once the check was delivered, I contacted David to confirm the check was there, his immediate response was " WHAT KIND OF CHECK IS IT?! IS THE CHECK FILLED OUT PROPERLY"...what?! his tone was rigid and extremely off-putting! Instead of him saying "okay, sure, thanks for calling, I will go to verify that the check was received and call you back with next steps" apparently, he thought the latter was less appropriate. 4) When I was able to finally pick up my car, I felt extremely unwelcomed. When signing the paperwork, I asked David about a OFAC document that I needed to give my SSN and DOB, he immediately got upset with the question and fired off "WHAT?! YOU JUST NEED TO SIGN IT, YOU HAVE TO SIGN IT ANYWAY!"... again, what!? All I was looking for was an explanation about the document I was signing. I did NOT need his emotionally geared feedback simply because he was not educated on what the document was. 5) After I signed the paperwork with David, I was sent upstairs to meet the finance manager Aldijana (more on her later). When I returned from her office and was all set to leave, David did not greet me, nor did he escort me out. I stood there for about 5 minutes looking for someone to let me out of the building with my car. Another CUSTOMER assisted me in opening up the garage to exit the building. After starting the vehicle to leave, David shows up to my window and hands me the vehicle's license plate, and walks away.
Such a terrible, and demeaning experience.
Finance Manager: ALDIJANA HODZIC
Things started off well. I thought that things were finally going to turn around. However, the moment I declined the extended warranty coverage for my car, her entire demeanor changed. She became condescending and insistent. She kept pushing the importance of getting a warranty, and how I will not be able to later change my mind, and how I can void my CPO, etc., etc. She spoke to me as if I did not understand how things worked--EXTREMELY frustrating.
My paperwork was screwed up, and she had to change my document twice. When I ready to leave, I had to ask her for the second key to my car, and she insisted that she did not have it (she did). I had to ask for the owners manual for the car, again, she insisted that she did not have it.
My ENTIRE experience was a complete nightmare! The ONLY pleasant interaction that I had at Bill Jacobs, was with my BMW genius, NIC CORTELLINI. He was the only person that made me feel like he wanted me there, and was extremely cordial and communicative. He was respectful, and just a good human being.
I would recommend that if you are considering buying a vehicle from these people, beware. If you're a POC, BEWARE (is all I'll say). There are many other customer-centric BMW dealerships, such as KNAUZ, or NORTHFIELD BMW, that would give you a higher quality service experience and actually treat you the way any respectable human being should be treated. read more
