So after careful thought it was decided to post this as a one star rating. The back-story with Newbold (BMW and Toyota) is that the BMW dealership has, until this last experience, been very customer-service oriented. The Toyota dealership had horrible customer service the two times we attempted to shop with them. The Toyota dealership cleaned up their acts by ridding themselves of a manager and some fresh associates. We made an appointment for 10:00am and were dropping the car off to be checked out for a light that had previously been on and an oil leak we noticed. At 3pm I called to check up on the car as we asked the service department to reach out to us before they began any repairs to verify the cost. Newbold BMW, upon arrival, the service rep (John), was wandering around and after about 4 minutes finally asked if we needed assistance. We advised that we did and he finally began getting our car checked in for our appointment. I personally advised the rep about the oil seep that was noticed and even advised where it could likely be coming from (later turned out it was in fact just that). The service rep, apparently just rushing us out the door, said "yes, and "ok" but did not annotate it on the service request sheet. at 3pm when I called the dealership to inquire about the status of the oil leak and everything else was advised the car had NOT been into service. I explained that was unacceptable and asked to speak with the service manager. I was then transferred to the original rep, John, who gave excuses about how the cars are cared for when they come in the door and since we were not waiting for it they got others cars into the shop. I asked, how BMW planned on replacing gaskets, if that was required, in the couple of hours remaining before the shop employees left for the day. They said well it may not be finished today. I, upset at this point, asked how we were supposed to pick up a car by 6pm if it wasn't even going to be ready, or completed. John said those things happen. I asked about a loaner and was told they didn't know if they had any. I demanded to speak with the service manager at this point. I reminded John that my appointment was at 10am and at 3pm they hadn't even looked at my car, let alone had it completed. It turned out that it also needed a set of tires which they could not get until the following day. I repeated all this frustration to the manger who assured me he would get the diagnostics completed for the BMW and get us something to drive if they needed to keep it beyond the day and he would call me back. At about 3:30pm the original service rep called back and the total was going to be about $2800 out the door for everything, including tires. Trying to save what I could, but still take care of the car I called around. Found out Plaza BMW could do everything on the list for about $300 less. I called Newbold and explained who we spoke with and their price and said if you can get us close we will just leave it here. John, the rep, who was obviously offended we found better tires and less expensive service across the river, said he couldn't do anything. I said it just seems odd that a service department would piss away a $2500 repair order. John said, "well, business is business I guess" replying to my comment. I asked to speak with the Service Manager and John said he was still out. Turns out the Service manager was in fact two desks down assisting another customer. I stepped outside and explained the situation with the service manger and said if you can get close and save us the trip to going across the river we would. Shocking to me, the Service Manager, looked to the rep and asked, "can we make this happen? Is it within the margins?" The rep then walked into the service managers office and as I followed closed the door on my face and said, "we need to talk." The service manager walked out and apologized that they could not work it in and the service rep walked out another door away from us. We left and made our appointment with Plaza BMW who eagerly was willing to work with us and earn our repeat business. Apparently, when Newbold cleaned up their Toyota Dealership they either moved them to BMW or apparently this John rep is trying to kill BMW's reputation. I'm not sure how, because we have never experienced, even a poor attitude, at Newbold BMW before this event. If John wasn't so arrogant I would have likely just marked it off as a "bad day" but this man was genuinely a bad person. John even lied about the condition of our tires after having them looked over by Plaza BMW, apparently as an attempt to "scare" us into doing business with them. The most off-setting moment was the fact that the service manager appeared to be taking his marching orders from this service rep who cost them service for both our BMW and Toyota's. read more
