    Dealing with Grayson BMW was like traveling back in time....to the shady days of car dealer shenanigans. Really...somebody needs to give them a heads up that we are far more informed consumers in the 21st century! I'm a BMW owner; I took delivery of my X5 in late December 2023 from another dealership. Since then, my wife has been looking at various replacements for her car, but she has been leaning towards an X5 and this dealership had a larger selection than our local dealership. As I looked online at a potential vehicle, I came across the following on their website: "All Pricing does not include a $498.80 processing fee and $648 Anti-theft Etch and Key Replacement." I spoke to three different salespeople at this dealership trying to get clarification on these items and I was not able to get a straight answer from any one of them! Not one of them could or would tell me what the $498 processing fee was for. Anticipating the dealership response with a sudden epiphany on what this fee is for, I will counter in advance with this: If this is the case, why, then, are the salespeople not equipped to answer this question easily and immediately when queried by a customer? No answer could be given by anyone as to what the processing fee was for. Next, I wanted to know more about the "etching" and the salesman I spoke with said "I get it. I get it. You're not the first." and then he proceeded to tell me that he was "right there with me" and then in the next breath, he said he bought several vehicles there from the dealership and he apparently paid for this same fee. I am not sure what kind of customers they are used to dealing with in this dealership, but trying to align yourself with me, the customer and then assuring me that you, too, also have had to pay this fee is not a winning or even intelligent argument. He continued that this provided some sort of anti-theft insurance that would pay thousands over what the vehicle cost should it ever be stolen. So what is the fee for? Is it for etching? Or is it for an insurance policy? I had no straight answer. I asked where the etching would be placed on the car - for example, would it be on all the glass panels or would it be on major parts of the body that weren't visible? First he said it used to be on the windshield and then it wasn't placed there any longer. I was recipient of no clear answer to any question I'd asked; what I received was nothing but circumlocution. Nothing but the run around. This "etching" reminded me of the old dealership scam of undercarriage anti-rust coating that some dealerships used to pad their vehicle sales. This is the way things used to be in the mid 90's. The final item was a new key replacement which the salesman assured me was at least going to cost me $500 for a replacement BMW key. Here's the problem, in my decades of vehicle ownership I have never lost a key to one of my cars. Therefore this dealership appears to have no regard for potential customers and has no qualms with charging customers for things they don't want, didn't ask for, and don't need. They further insult the intelligence of informed consumers by pretending all of these items are beyond their ability to negate or remove from a purchase. Old school sketchy car dealership practices. Use due diligence and seek a dealership with integrity. Here's the picture of my newly acquired X5M; they lost two sales from my family - my son's M3 Competition and my wife's X5. But let's remember...there's nothing they can do about the almost $500 nebulous processing fee and the $650 theft insurance and new key replacement fee. Yeah....right.

    Service report

    I bought a BMW at this dealership and went for an alignment here cause I wanted it to be done properly. My car drove straight as well as was my steering wheel, but I didn't do alignment for years and just changed my tires. I payed twice the normal price for this type of service and waited almost two hours (they put it on the lift almost right away). However after the service I noticed that my steering wheel position is no longer straight while driving on a straight road. Looks like the tech didn't lock the steering in completely straight position before the service as reflected in attached report they gave me after the service (front axle left/right toe aren't set even, even though the car drove straight before service). When I came back they held the car for more than an hour and did nothing. When I asked to talk to a supervisor Robert he just repeated 'It's straight to me'. Both times my advisor Matt was cold and rude to me. When I came the second time and tried to explain what's wrong, he interrupted me and said that everything was done properly. When I insisted that it wasn't, he started to fill a complaint form looking visibly angry, not saying a word to me.

I had purchased my 2022 Trailblazer from them back in 2022 and had a pleasant buying experience at that time. I've been to the service department many times for oil changes and routine maintenance, and for the most part I've also had good experiences. But recently the check engine light had come on and so I first took it to my regular mechanic to have it diagnosed. He said the code was indicating the water pump was likely going to need to be replaced, and that this was a big job and an expensive job, and he said it's still under the drivetrain warranty. So his recommendation was to bring it back to the Chevy dealer, which is what I did. I made an appointment and dropped the car off and was assigned a service advisor named Kane. I had a pleasant conversation with Kane when I dropped off the car and let him know that I wasn't in a rush to get the car back but I would like him to keep me updated on it. A week later, I had not heard anything and so I texted the number that Kane sent to me to ask for a status. I didn't get a response, so a couple days later I called the number and asked to speak with Kane. I was transferred to his line and left a detailed message on his voice mail including my call back number. I got no call back, so after a week I called again and explained the situation to another advisor. He said he wasn't sure why Kane wasn't responding, but that he'd route me to Kane right away. Unfortunately, that transfer again went to Kane's voicemail, and I left yet another message for him that went unanswered. The next day was now September 16, which was more than 2 weeks since I dropped the car at the dealer. I called the switchboard operator and explained that I am having an issue with an employee named Kane and I needed to speak with his manager. I was put on hold for several minutes, and was surprised when Kane answered the call. I told him who I was and reminded him that I have left a few messages for him regarding my car. He immediately went into a rude, and even belligerent status, and started telling me that he texted me a week earlier to pick up my car (which was not true) and that I needed to get there and pay the 200 dollars and take the car. I told him that I received no phone call and no text from him and asked him what was done to justify the $200 expense. He said that was the diagnostic fee, no issues were found and they turned off the check engine light. I feel it is unacceptable to charge 200 dollars to simply turn off the light and I'm certain this issue will resurface again; most likely after the warranty period expires. Kane then very rudely reiterated for me to pick up my car, pay the bill and then promptly hung up on me. Wow, that is not the type of service I ever want to experience again. Not ever, not from any company. I contemplated refusing to pay that bill, but it's probably not worth 200 dollars to immerse myself into additional unwanted drama. I will never be back to Beaty Chevrolet for any reason. Not to purchase a car, and definitely not for service. The fact that the manager didn't want to hear from me and routed my call back to the service advisor is also unacceptable. If a company has an employee that behaves that way, a leader of the company has to deal with those situations. It's not fun to hear from clients that are unhappy, and it's not fun reprimanding employees that are not meeting the company standards, but it has to be done. I will share this experience with as many review sites that I can.

Was told via email and by phone this spring that I had free services to use (e.g., oil change). When I arrived for my oil change appointment, I was told it was going to be over $200. I went to an oil change place instead. Last week I was told that my rearview mirror (which had popped loose) needed to be replaced and that they would order the part. They said it would take an hour to fix and be about $120. On the day of the appointment, I tried to move to an earlier slot and accidently chose the next day. When I called within 2 minutes of my mistake to keep my original slot, I was told "AI won't do it" and that they "might" be able to work me in. So the new part was there and presumably my opening had not been given away in two minutes, but they wouldn't book me because the computer said no. I went to another dealer that afternoon, and they put the original mirror back on my car. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. No charge. I really don't know what to think about the situation, but I won't be back to Autonation. I keep thinking about my 2024 new car purchase from them, and the price I was given onsite. That onsite price was higher than the emailed price I had been sent an hour or so before by the same person I was talking to onsite. I showed him the email (sent from his email address), and he seemed annoyed, but gave me that price. It was the first of many concerns that I should have heeded a while ago.

I walked in the next morning to check up on the service and they said, oh we were just about to call you. The problem with the vehicle was a computer reset had to be done to the transmission which should have only taken a few minutes. The cost for service was only about 100 bucks and the labor was another 100 bucks. I find it hard to believe their service staff makes 100 an hour so it obvious they are marking up labor charges as well. Total time of repair was 1 hour. So why did they have my vehicle the entire day? So now they want to open up the transmission to check things out. I called a transmission shop and they said to have the error codes reset AND flush the transmission . The other shop said this is common practice to reset and flush which was not done.

We were very pleased with the final deal. Once all the paperwork was completed, Joe, Judy's husband and fellow sales person, showed me how to operate the technology package.
