    Couldn't have had a better customer experience. I took my wife's X5 in for service and while waiting started looking at cars, ended up buying a 5 series to replace my car. The sales experience was perfect, Sander worked with me a lot of the phone, text, and email so I didn't have to sit in the dealership for hours. They offered a fair price for my non bmw trade in (on the low side but definitely not a low ball). Walked into the dealer, signed some papers, and they had my car detailed sitting in the show room for me. The part that really stood out was after the sale. I noticed a vibration around 75 mph, called the service department and they picked my car up the next day to address the issue. Ended up having the vehicle for almost two weeks but they addressed the issue correctly, Ben kept in constant communication, and when they were finished they dropped my car back at my house. New cars shouldn't have issues but the reality is sometimes they do, Sharpe's response and quick action is exactly how customer service should be. Thank you to the entire team!

    The dealership broke my rim while changing out the tires. Had to haggle with the service technician (Jordan R) for several days before they would agree to repair my car. It was a total of 3 weeks before my car was returned to me. As a way to punish me for holding my ground and not paying for something they obviously damaged, I am not allowed to use a loaner vehicle from them again. I tried expressing my grievances to the service director, Ben Dekruyter. He told me he was going on vacation and would get back to me when he could. I have yet to hear back from him. Attached is the photo sent to me from the service technician trying to convince me the damage was done prior to the dealership picking up my car, driving it from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids. What do you think? I think I will not trust this dealership. They take advantage of women, pushing unnecessary services for profit. In the end, they don't care about you or what it takes to retain good, paying customers. Is there anyone out there that still puts value on good customer service with integrity?

    A better look at the dent by the headlight.

    I had a friend to visit in GR so I made an appointment at Sharpe BMW for my 2005 Mini Cooper S - to check the air cond. & oil change. They got the air working. I expected the oil monitor to be reset. It was not. Suspecting the oil had not been changed, I asked & found out that the oil was changed but the mechanic had neglected to reset the monitor. I was informed the muffler needed replacement (quoted $1600 to $1800). Having my own mechanics, I wanted to see how difficult the repair & parts were before committing to that. On the way down, not being familiar with the passenger seat (I usually drive), & wanting to recline, I somehow clicked the releases in a way that made my seat permanently recline. I forgot to mention it when I dropped the car off, & now the staff said that it was too late for the mechanics to look at it. They did let me know a seat would cost $800 for the back or if it needed the whole seat - $1500-$1800?! We had only paid $1,500 for the car. On the way home, I noticed the car lacked power, also a light appeared on the dash saying the gas cap was not tight. The cap seemed tight - but the light did not go away. I ordered a new gas cap. When I installed it, even though it was supposed to fit, it didn't allow the cap cover to close. I had to order another one. The gas cap light still came right back on for both gas caps. Up on a lift (to inspect the muffler) I noticed a hose unplugged. I could see where it plugged back in - after doing that the power was restored & the gas cap light went out! In the mechanics manual, I found out this hose went to half of the turbo. That was $45 in gas caps (I had to buy two), not to mention the irritation of disposing of the apparently "fine" original cap. I found a muffler for $300 & the repair was not much of an issue for my own mechanics. Not sure why that repair was nearly $2,000 for Sharpe to accomplish - other than it seems to be their "number." I discovered Sharp had broken my dipstick off. Mini Cooper dipsticks are plastic & bend & it is understandable that it could break - but it would have been nice to have been told that they broke it. $$ I was unhappy to discover the seat not coming up is a common, known, easily fixed issue. There are online videos (one put out by BMW) not to mention forums that explain how this simple fix works. I had to return to GR for an event & it was a chance to address a recall notice, also we had noticed an oil cooler leak that looked like a job for the dealer. The Sharp mechanic found that the control arm bushings needed replacement. That meant we needed an alignment which would take an extra day. This ended up being a 3 day affair. When I got a call that the car was READY. I was located about 30 min away - but I told them I would be right there. When I got there, after waiting 10 minutes (remember, they called to tell me it was "ready") I was told, "it needed to be washed." If it was "ready" why wasn't the car washed & sitting there? It took nearly another HOUR before my car was brought out - very ODD! Finally, when the car was brought out, it was dripping wet! I grabbed a cloth to wipe the windows off so that I wouldn't get water spots. It didn't occur to me to examine the car closely, but I now know that this was someone's way of trying to hide the damage that I found when I got home. Focusing on getting water spots off my windows I missed the damage. When I left the dealer I went to an empty driveway & loaded up my things from my friend's house - then drove to northern Michigan. In the morning, I discovered the car had been hit (I have a remote driveway & no one else uses it - it did not get hit here). The damage was not easy to see, as evidenced by the photos, but it went into the underbody & was expensive to fix. An attorney advised me that dealers could be impossible to pin down over proving damages like this. Since I had left before discovering the damage, he said there was no way to prove them responsible. My only recourse was to report it as a hit & run. A 2005 Mini Cooper means finding parts is a hassle & it took my trusted restoration shop nearly 2 weeks of getting wrong parts from suppliers who had mislabeled them, returning them, etc. to get it right. The damage is worse than the photos reveal, the undercarriage of the bumper had to be replaced & in order to get the paint to match-the hood had to be repainted. The repairs cost $3,000 & I had a $500 deductible on my insurance - again $$ Worse, my insurance company took exception to the fact I was in MI (but am a resident of CA) which resulting in having to switch insurance companies - just after a claim - which effectively doubled my insurance costs. More $$ Something is very wrong here. I recommend everyone be very careful. Video your car upon dropping it off & picking it up. I don't leave bad reviews lightly, but there is a price to be paid for the lack of supervision that would allow your staff to get away with stunts like this.

    Worst experience! Horrible customer service... 0 Stars. I can't give them more than zero stars…read morebecause they never even got to do any work on my car. My insurance company told me to take my car in for an estimate. I drove it down there that day (six weeks ago) to get the estimate. The only thing they would do is set an appointment for an estimate, six weeks out. These clowns recently bought out an amazing local, community-minded body shop (CarStar). We used CarStar a few times over the years. You would drive the car in - they would send someone out to take photos of the damage... a few hours later, they emailed you and the insurance company the estimate and scheduled the work. Caliber makes you wait six weeks before they can even look at your car. After waiting six weeks, I am told, "Oh, your insurance company "usually" sends their estimator out to take photos and approve the repair. I explained that my insurance company was the one that told me to bring it into them in the first place. The receptionist explains, well - our Estimator Bill handles the estimates with your insurance company, and he says they have to come out. So call them and have them come out to look at your car, and then we can schedule a repair. I waited SIX WEEKS for this lazy crap. I called my insurance company back - they told me in no uncertain terms that they would work from the repair estimate from the body shop. Great - I'll do that, just not CALIBER. So much for trying to support my neighborhood business. I will find another - more reputable and customer-oriented shop.

    I'm an Uber-driver, and I got into a fender-bender in February (I actually had a rider in my car!…read more Everyone was ok). I did have some front end bodywork that needed to be done. At first, I didn't think it was too bad, but then I failed the Uber inspection (and I couldn't work ) and then I noticed some other things wrong, like the headlights were off and out of line, and the air conditioning didn't work, something that I didn't realize was wrong because it was cold outside. So we got three quotes from different places, one of them was Bob's collision. The two others were cheaper, it's true, but Bob's was the most detailed. They thought of everything. They thought of lightbulbs, they thought about how far back the radiator got pushed, they thought about the air conditioner, and they thought about all the sensors. They didn't just think about how the front of the car would look. We chose Bob's collision because we knew they would do the best job, and they did. They worked with our insurance company, and there was absolutely no stress. When we got back the car, it was like it was brand new. We are so happy with how it turned out. We would go there again for any kind of body work that needed to be done. Thanks Bob's collision!

I was rushed to provide a down payment and start a new insurance policy that day because it was "a done deal." In fact, they were so confident the deal was done that they let me take the car to pick up my children so they could finally have heat - specifically telling me that since I "already had insurance on it," I might as well. What followed that handshake and congratulations was a two-day saga of moving goalposts. After three 80-minute round trips in inclement weather, the tone shifted to condescension regarding my company's financials - as if they were doing me a "favor" by selling me a car. This was after being lightheartedly told the evening prior, "as long as the pay deposits are on your bank statement, you're good." I get that this is partially the bank's doing - but if you don't know your lenders that well you certainly shouldn't be making promises where it concerns them. The lack of respect for a customer's time was staggering. I was pressured to provide more paperwork (including more proof of my VA disability - despite having my award letter) while they knew I had to transport my kids back and forth to school, and in fact also do parenting things - only to be told at the last second they were closing two hours earlier than the day prior. When I realized I wasn't going to meet their shifting deadline, I texted to let them know I was driving another 40 minutes to drop the car off to relieve the pressure and rethink the deal until the morning. When I arrived, instead of a professional return, the finance guy tried to move the goalposts yet again with more requirements. When I finally called it quits, the gaslighting began. I was transparent about a clerical error on a proof-of-income document generated by my own company - an error that did not change the actual income reported on my application or my ability to prove it through bank statements. Knowing how openly embarrassed I was about the mistake the day before, the finance guy loudly accused me of submitting a "fake" document to justify the deal falling apart. The logic doesn't hold up: Why is he letting a customer drive a car off the lot to pick up their children if he truly suspects a document is malicious or "fake?" By weaponizing a transparent mistake at the finish line, they were simply trying to shift the blame for a deal they couldn't close. When I walked away, they blamed me for their failure and refused to refund my down payment on the spot, insisting on "mailing a check and maybe getting it refunded to my card." On a separate note, my company deals in email security. As I do with any company I share PII and financial information with, I did a scan of their sending domain to find that it is critically unsecured. That, combined with the fact that they condone using personal Gmail accounts for professional correspondence and documentation sharing, raises serious security issues. I chose to overlook these for the promise of a good car-buying experience, but I feel others should be able to make that decision from the same position of knowledge. It seems like this is not the status quo at Berger. I can respect that this isn't peoples' normal experience, but it feels pretty uncalled for that it even happened once. I can also understand how if others have been a victim of this type of degradation, pride may prevent them from speaking of it publicly. It certainly isn't a comfortable experience for me. P.S. Shout out to my sales guy whose name I don't want to associate with this review. Top notch, 5/5 stars. You deserved the commission - thanks for everything.
