BMW of West Springfield

Do NOT go to this dealer for service or you might be victimized like I was! I live in Connecticut and I phoned yesterday to set up an oil change appointment. Dan in service told me there was a $49 special (great price!). I made an appointment for 10:10 a.m. and told him I would be waiting - with my dog (he said it would be OK). When asked, he assured me "it would take between an hour and an hour and a half." This is important because I live nearly 40 miles from the dealership. BUT - guess what happened when I arrived there at about 9:45 this morning? A woman there and Dan acted as though they never heard of me or know of the appointment I made. I had to remind them. Then Dan asks - as if he didn't already know - "will you be waiting?" "Well...yeah! I told you yesterday," I replied. Well, he says, "because it will take at least four hours." FOUR HOURS? "You promised me it would take an hour to an hour and a half." "We had a lot of cars today and everybody's waiting," he says, without an apology or hint of remorse or a sense of responsibility for the upset he has caused. Nor did he seem to care that he was going back on his word. THEY ARE NOT TRUE TO THEIR WORD. He then told me he'd talk to his manager. It was all baloney. He spent one second in the guy's office. Neither showed any remorse or a sense of responsibility for the mess they'd gotten me into. "The earliest the manager says we can get your car in is about two hours." (Then the job would take about two hours.) In other words, he's repeating the outrage he told me earlier - that he was not honoring the promises he'd made to me the day before. DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALER!!! I simply said..."OK, Dan, I can't do business with you guys." As I slowly drove off Dan replied, "Take care." He should have apologized - and more. But no. So I suggest you spare yourself a similar waste of time and outrage. They really should have compensated me for my lost time, mileage, gasoline spent getting there and the fact that I'd now have wasted a day on which I could have gone elsewhere. SPARE YOURSELF THE GRIEF AND FIND A RESPONSIBLE DEALER!
