Between the café, movie theater, and those full-body massage chairs (yes, really!), it doesn't even feel like a typical car-buying experience. They even offer drinks while you're there, which is such a nice touch. Mitchell, our salesman, was incredible. No pressure at all -- just a genuine, easygoing approach. He listened, gave us space when we needed it, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. Super knowledgeable and just an all-around great person to work with. Huge selection of vehicles, top-notch service, and an experience that makes you feel truly valued. Ask for Mitchell -- you'll be so glad you did!

I finally succeeded in finding a different advisor and booked an afternoon service( botts were no help). I feel sorry for elderly customers who must feel frustrated trying this process- never dealing with a human. Once at the dealership, situation similar to last time- still under construction but very few people demanding car problems be addressed(afternoon appointment worthwhile); Waiting area still the same; at least the leather chairs are comfortable. Joey took good care of me advising me about the progress the technician was making. Still love the dealership and my car should be good until we return in the fall. I hope the construction is finally completed by then.

This dealership is not what it use to be...total money grab. I had 3 recalls "service campaigns"…read moreon my 2022 so brought it in as it was due for 15K mile check as well (technically the car is old enough for the 20K mile check). I barely drive the car but was told that despite only driving the car 2K miles since last oil change, because it was a year since the oil change, that I was due for an oil change. I declined even though a coupon was offered. The business model is to get you on all the extras when you bring your vehicle in for routine recommended maintenance. You will be told it is all needed "to keep your car running" but my response to that is why should I have to pay 100s of dollars to keep a 2 year old, $60K car with only 15K miles running? If that's the case I should have just bought a 15 year old beater and then I wouldn't complain if I had to spend money to keep it going. This car also had battery replaced in the first year. Service told me if I don't use the car for at least a month that I need to keep it on a trickle charger....WHAT?!?! Brand new car that has to be on a trickle charger if I don't drive it every 4 weeks at a minimum or unplug the battery....huh. I solved the problem by letting the Lexus app expire so that way the car wasn't constantly trying to connect with the satellite when not in use, draining the battery. Lastly, get that remodel done. That place is a hot mess, confusing, no orderly system, and all you do is wander around a construction site maze trying to find your way to the door. It makes one want to avoid this place at all costs. P.S. never did get my tires rotated, service video showed "they were fine, no need to rotate"....imagine that. But at least I didn't get gouged on all the extras.

This BMW dealership needs help. The service advisors need to be trained on customer expectations,…read morecustomer correspondence skills, warranty contact time management, ( don't wait till 450pm to call when they close at 5pm)) Is this an avoidance technique? The dealership is very nice looking. Mechanic didn't know what a single use head bolt was and video recorded him saying when I pulled out the bolt the threads were stripped. It's a single use bolt to torque specs. Please train these mechanics and encourage them to do research. This will give confidence to customers. Service advisors need to be able to communicate better with techs and relay to customers. I hope this is helpful to upper management. Given I have been a service advisor at MBUSA and Caliber Collision over 10 years and highly successful. Team members have always worked hard when they are communicating well and sharing the repair process with the customer. You need to step up the pace and hustle. Multi-tasking is a skill that is learned. All the best. J

If you're planning to buy a luxury vehicle, you would expect luxury-level customer service…read more Unfortunately, that was nowhere to be found at BMW of Sarasota. My family and I walked into the showroom genuinely interested in purchasing a new BMW and spent about 20 minutes waiting to speak with someone. Not a single employee greeted us, asked if we needed assistance, or even acknowledged our presence. What made the experience even more frustrating was that two women at the front desk appeared more interested in chatting with each other than helping potential customers. Two other employees looked directly at us but made no effort to come over or say hello. We weren't asking for special treatment, just the basic courtesy of being acknowledged. After standing there feeling completely invisible, we walked out and took our business elsewhere. It's hard to imagine ignoring customers who are ready to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle. First impressions matter, and this one couldn't have been worse. I hope management takes a hard look at how prospective customers are treated because no one should feel unwelcome the moment they walk through the door.

A second test drive revealed a passenger seat belt problem that will be properly repaired by giving the car back for two weeks. However, before taking the car for the first time, I asked John Steinhauser to open the hood (special handling with the'B') and, to my surprise, saw the upper part of the bumper broken (4" x 15" see photos). Obviously a shamefully HIDDEN ACCIDENT NOT DECLARED because there was no trace on the front of the bumper because also full repainted. I didn't like it, but John Steinhauser promised me that the bumper would be repaired FREE OF CHARGE along with the passenger seat belt repair. Today, still no bumper repaired despite several reminders. For a ZERO ACCIDENT car, that's horrible. So I give a rating of 1 which I would increase to more stars if this garage ENCORE kept its promises.
