    If I could give them a no star review I would. Shady AF!! In April we bought our son his car for his graduation from college. Our 2nd purchase from them. Down payment as gift and he pays the rest. Clean car, single owner and maintained by them. Looked like the perfect fit. It came with a 6 mo, 6000 mile warranty. The car was driven 1006 miles before we noticed after a drive the car would smoke. Appeared to be a valve cover gasket with a drip the would hit the exhaust manifold and burn off. Oil level reads fine, no warning lights. Called them and my dealer put me in touch with the service dept. They advised me they need to diagnose the problem and submit it to the warranty company. I would have to pay for a tow. They also advised I would not be covered as in the "breakdown clause" gaskets are not covered although technically the car is not broken down. Talked with my dealer again who agreed it has to be diagnosed in order to submit it and I need to get it in. I confirmed the "warranty" is good at any BMW dealer or ASE shop. I have a BMW dealer a mile from the house safe enough to drive it there with no worry. My diagnosis was spot on. No only did they find that but advised it needs a belt and recomends brakes. OVER $4000 worth of work. The car was 15K. They also confirmed the warranty denied the claim. Warranty is not worth the paper it is printed on!!! And although my dealer said Motor Werks would make it right in the end today I was informed "I'm on my own for the bill." I have had quite a few cars in my life and never have had anything major fail with only 55K miles on it. BMW should be embarrassed. I should have looked here first and seen the overall majority of the reviews are 1 star. Mark it up to tuition and a costly lesson learned. Motor Werks has zero reputability and no honor in the products they sell. Proof in documents provided below.

    For the first time ever , I was LIED to and treated with DISHONESTY at Motorwerks. On Monday 08/14/23 I spoke w Honda service advisor Evans as I knew the 100k service is expensive and wanted to know the cost . He told me 833.57. At no time did he tell me there would be a 3% service charge for paying by credit card. I made an appt for Wednesday 08/16/23. When I dropped the car off he did not tell me they would be charging more than 833.57 and again no mention of a 3% service charge for paying by credit card. My first clue should have been only one other car in the service area at 7am when I arrived. One usually has to wait as its always been very busy first thing in the morning. After and only after the work had been performed was I told about a 3% service charge for credits cards and to my shock a higher price than what was quoted on Monday. Most people don't have 800.00+ dollars laying around . Had I been told this upfront , I would have waited til I had the cash. So basically my choices were to wait 4 weeks for the cash and have no car or pay their 3% fee . It was like having my car held hostage. In the end my bill was 885.54 after a quote of 833.57 . 51.97 higher than the original quote , and had they applied the 10% coupon (83.33 more off ) for a total difference of 135.30 ! It is slippery slope when dealerships lie to a customer. What else have they lied to me about ? Did they really do the services they billed me for ? Did they do them correctly ? I DO NOT TRUST THEM anymore. I've been coming here for over 20years and was never lied to or cheated before today. A web search after picking up my car explained everything. They are UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP. I WILL NEVER BRING MY CAR HERE AGAIN.

    when the car was purchased
    Darrick B.

    On September 23, 2021 I purchased a S550 from Motor Werks of Barrington, that following weekend I tried to active the MBRACE service and after 5 calls over 3 days it was determined that I needed to bring the car in to be programmed. It was at that moment my NIGHTMARE began. While there for service they damaged my bumper. You will notice on the 3 pictures attached, that when the car was purchased it had NO damage to the bumper. The car is garage kept so there's not opportunity for the bumper to be damaged, when your service dept returned the vehicle to me the first thing I noticed when walking to it was that the front license place was crooked. This caused me to take a closer look. It was at that point I discovered that damage to the bumper. When I pointed out this damage to Stephen, he replied we take videos of every car when it comes in to note any damage. My reply was GREAT! LETS ROLL TAPE!!, surprise surprise, the video on showed the sides and back of the vehicle! The front of the vehicle "somehow" got deleted, when I complained to my sales rep BRIAN he walked down with me and spoke to Stephen who replied "don't worry we'll make it right! I drove the car home because I didn't have time to leave it, that weekend it got cold out and now I discovered that the HEAT also doesn't work! I know it's a USED VEHICLE, but you would think in my paying $40,000 that there would be a expectation that the heat would work. When I mentioned this to Stephen he replied "It was intermittent" I'm no master mechanic but I do know if the heater core (which needed to be replaced) was bad it would just be bad and NOT Intermittent. I paid the $662 but wasn't happy about it! When I asked him if he saw the repairs to the bumper he replied that he sent me a photo. I told him I never received a photo, and showed him the text he sent advising me the car was ready. He then said you have to open the link to see the photo. (how would I know to do that and that a photo was attached?) when I opened the photo, MUCH TO MY DISMAY it looked like Sh.t and I told him exactly that! His reply was "Well it's looks better that it did".

    I called Amin Smith, the financial services manager at Motor Werks Auto Group, on 4 occasions leaving messages in hopes of signing up a few extended warranty vehicle contracts. He never returned any of my calls. If this is how Amin Smith treats new sales, then I'd hate to see how he treats customers with actual issues.

    UPDATE -- AUGUST 2026…read more I am updating my original review because, unfortunately, the customer service issues I described have continued long after the sale. It is important to point out that the sales process itself was equally disappointing, and the experience since the purchase has only reinforced the concerns expressed in my original review. It has now been almost four months since I purchased my vehicle on May 2, 2026, and I am extremely disappointed that I am still having to pursue refunds and reimbursements that should have been resolved months ago. After more than two months, I finally received reimbursement for the new license plate/tag that I was incorrectly charged for despite providing my registration in advance and specifically requesting that my existing plate be transferred. While I appreciate that the reimbursement was eventually processed, it should never have taken more than two months and repeated follow-up to correct an error that occurred during the original transaction. I also still have not received reimbursement for my Uber ride from the airport, despite being told multiple times that the dealership would reimburse me for that expense. The warranty and protection products have been another ongoing issue. I canceled the incorrect extended warranty that was sold to me, the key replacement warranty, and the maintenance package. I received confirmation from the dealership on June 3, 2026, that these cancellations had been submitted. Nearly 90 days later, I have received refunds for the extended warranty and key replacement coverage, but the maintenance package refund remains outstanding. Because I was unable to get these matters resolved directly with the dealership, I eventually involved Mercedes-Benz national customer service in an attempt to obtain assistance and answers. Unfortunately, even after Mercedes-Benz became involved, the dealership has refused or failed to provide them with the information and answers needed to resolve my concerns. It is extremely troubling when even the manufacturer's customer service representatives are unable to obtain answers from one of its dealerships regarding a customer's unresolved transaction. What is perhaps most disappointing is the dealership's continued lack of communication. Since posting my honest review about my experience, the dealership has essentially stopped communicating with me altogether. Rather than addressing the concerns raised in my review and working toward a resolution, I have been left to repeatedly pursue answers on my own. My original review was not posted to be malicious or unfair. It was an honest account of my experience as a customer who traveled from Michigan to Illinois expecting the level of professionalism and customer service associated with the Mercedes-Benz name. Unfortunately, the problems did not begin after the sale--the sales experience itself was disappointing, from the unexpected change in salesperson and lack of preparation to the plate error, inadequate explanation of warranty options, and overall lack of attention to the customer experience. The continued lack of communication and unresolved refunds after the sale have only made that experience worse. At this point, almost four months after purchasing my vehicle, I should not still be chasing this dealership for money owed to me or involving Mercedes-Benz national customer service simply to obtain basic answers. I am asking the dealership to complete the maintenance package refund that was confirmed on June 3, honor the Uber reimbursement that I was repeatedly promised, and provide Mercedes-Benz customer service with the information necessary to address my concerns. The true measure of customer service is not simply how a dealership treats someone while making a sale, but how it responds when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, based on both my sales experience and everything that has happened afterward, this dealership has fallen far short of what I expected from a Mercedes-Benz dealership. I will continue to update this review until the remaining issues are fully resolved.

I messaged ahead with what car I wanted to look at (yea, I was worried about the dreaded online bait and switch).

I met the most wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable, not pushy and not in the slightest bit the stereotypical cheesy car sales person. Deanna was AMAZING.

    *1 Year After Purchase Review*…read more I had been in the market to buy a Porsche of some sorts, I couldn't figure out which one met my needs. The 911 is too sporty and not an ideal daily driver, the Cayenne's fuel economy is atrocious, the Panamera felt like a boat to me, but I had finally came across a model that fit my needs.... 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo in Rhodium Silver. This car had every option Macans from that year came with including Sport Chrono and Sport Exhaust (Rare on the 2015 macans). I purchased the car under the understanding that it would be similar to my previous vehicle (2017 MB C63S Sedan) yet everything I've tried to compare I enjoy more in my new car. From the jump, the car is VERY fast, not only that I have since installed an aftermarket Cobb Tuning device and custom ECU Map. My Macan was doing 0-60 in around 4 seconds prior, and is now closer to 3.3 seconds. Absolutely nuts. Anyway, that being said, I would assume my car would break a fair bit and what not because it's a sporty car, but no! No gimmicks, no scams, A+ car off the lot. I've owned the car since January 2023 and we're going on January 2024, I need to change my break pads soon. Other then that I've had an issue with the High Pressure Fuel Pump which took me 3 hours, $200, and some wrenching away to fix. Awesome! I love how these cars are designed without a million quirks and you can perform simple service yourself! Another small issue was I had blown my coolant reservoir, not to worry, I found one for $30 and was able to swap it in 15 minutes! This car has done me nothing but right so far and I'm very happy I chose this dealership to purchase with! Don't waste your time with other dealerships selling junk cars. This place is epic! My salesperson Ian was on point, very nice, professional, and even lowered the price by about $1,000 or so which in todays day and age is pretty commonly known that that is a chunk of the salesman's commission. We need more salespeople willing to get someone out the door happy, over trying to milk people for that extra $500-$1000. It was a very nice experience from the second I sat down and at no point did I feel pressured to purchase the vehicle that day, I chose to which was a very nice feeling. Overall this dealership is a very nice one, and I recommend giving them a try over anyone!

He tried the same tactic on us to rush our purchase, and we refused. Pitting two customers against each other to try and force a quick sale is a really scummy move. Buyers should ALWAYS get a third party inspection and consider their options for at least 24 hours.
