Harold Shelby and team rocked!

5 out of 5 starsby EY on 08/10/2025

Truly enjoyed working with Harold Shelby and the team at Silver Spring. Harold was direct and to the point. Didn’t waste my time negotiating. Got the best deal on first call and trust me, I shopped around!

  • BMW Silver Spring: Last bastion of civil, hassle-free negotiations!

    5 out of 5 starsby New_BMW_M240ix on 09/01/2018

    Silver Spring BMW was by no means the nearest dealership near me but my experience with Senior Client Advisor Andy Alexis – who consistently went above and beyond, providing outstanding customer service -- made it more than worth my while… to drive there! Andy is far and away the most exceptional representative of BMW bar none! As soon as I meet him after scheduling an appointment online to test drive a 430ix convertible, I felt like he was a trusted, old friend. He wasn’t pushy, he spent considerable time helping me explore all of my options, and he has a fantastic sense of humor to boot! In the end, he helped me come to the conclusion that I would be better served (and happier) with a zippy M240ix convertible. When there wasn’t one readily available with the options I sought, he helped track one down in Massachusetts and get it to me in a matter of days. Unlike other BMW dealerships I have visited in the DC Metro area, BMW of Silver Spring doesn’t deal in manipulative ploys or high-pressure sales gimmicks. Quite the contrary. Andy Alexis proved that BMW of Silver Spring may be the last bastion of hassle-free, civil, relaxed negotiations where you’ll gain complete peace of mind in knowing that you got the best car for the best deal. And what’s more priceless than that? Andy Alexis. I can’t recommend him more highly. This isn’t my first BMW, but I have never been happier with a car purchase.

  • Successful first car buying experience

    5 out of 5 starsby testakl on 08/29/2018

    The overall process of buying my first car went smoothly with the help of Karen (sales) and Andrew (finance). We made the initial contact with the dealership about finding a loaner X1 and Karen was prompt and helpful in finding one that fit… my needs. She followed up in a timely manner and provided all the information needed so I could make an informed decision on the car. She also was patient with answering all our questions and helped explain the features in the car when we came back to pick it up.

  • 5.0 Star Rating

    5 out of 5 starsby JaniceJ on 08/28/2018

    5.0 star rating 8/28/2018 I visited two other BMW locations and chose to purchase my X6 at BMW Silver Spring. My advisor Andy Alexis was patient, courteous and knowledgeable about the cars and made the car buying experience a pleasant… one. It was worth driving from Mount Airy. I have also referred my brother in law to BMW of Silver Spring because of Andy's service. Thank you.

  • Another Satisfied Customer

    5 out of 5 starsby TheCarbuyer on 08/20/2018

    Karen Herbert is awesome! Not only is she very friendly and knowledgeable, she is a wonderful listener who has the ability to ask relevant and precise questions in order to quickly understand the needs/goals/personality of the car buyer.… Providing outstanding customer service is obviously her focus, and she goes above and beyond what is expected - in my case, promptly returning my numerous telephone calls to her on both the day of the car sale, and throughout the day on the day before; e-mailing relevant information that allowed me to select a car prior to my arrival at the dealership; and patiently providing detailed answers to my questions, ensuring she addressed all of my concerns prior to my car purchase. I was first pleasantly exposed to BMW of Silver Spring a few years ago while stationed at a military post in northern Virginia. At that time, I purchased my first BMW. Now, as a military retiree who continues to work and reside in Virginia, I would not think of buying a car from anywhere else. My experience with this dealership continues to be the best that I have ever experienced. Thank you, Karen!
    • Hello, we want to sincerely thank you for your service! We're pleased to see that you have had such a wonderful experience with Karen. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you; we are more than happy to help!

  • Ron Askew made my day

    5 out of 5 starsby 2mamboFeather3 on 08/13/2018

    Ron Askew was an excellent advocate for me and helped me get the deal I needed to get the car I really wanted. I never felt like he was trying to fast talk me. An all-around good guy. A heartfelt "thank you" to Ron.

  • Helpful, friendly, no pressure

    5 out of 5 starsby Gillie14 on 08/02/2018

    Joanna and her team were incredibly helpful in advising me on how to close out a completed lease and purchase a pre-owned vehicle in the most cost-effective way.

  • I love my BMW i3!!!!!

    5 out of 5 starsby Srijita1 on 07/23/2018

    When I first arrived I was greeted kindly by Ron. I couldn't find the right i3 and I was not willing to pay an extra $400 for the color i don't don't even want. They offered to order the exact BMW i3 I wanted! which was amazing! Allen was… also great at financing the vehicle. It was worth the 2 month wait! My husband and I had such a great experience he even bought a BMW x5 plug in.

  • A dream come true....

    5 out of 5 starsby Qlovely01 on 07/22/2018

    I worked with Karen. She was so cool and professional. I originally saw the car I wanted on a Saturday and wasn't sure if I should buy it. By Tuesday, I decided I wanted the car. Karen helped me get my car on her day off. It just so… happened when I decided to purchase my car, it was Karen's day off. She made sure my purchase went smoothly. I really appreciate her. Thank you Karen

  • Highly Recommended

    5 out of 5 starsby Kforce21 on 07/20/2018

    We recently purchased an X3 from BMW of Silver Spring with David Davila as our sals consultant. His knowledge of the vehicles and the entire process surpasses all other salesmen that we have previously used. The rest of the staff… including the finance and BMW genius were also great to work with.

  • Great experience

    5 out of 5 starsby MMMMMMMM3 on 07/19/2018

    Eric is professional and extremely knowledgeable. During our test drive, he was patient and showed us how to use the new features of the car. We were convinced that we wanted to purchase from Eric but took the individual order route. The… process was simple and he kept us informed until we picked her up four months later. The purchasing process was easy with Eric and Anthony, we are very happy with our purchase and experience!

  • Superb Client Service

    5 out of 5 starsby BeriNdifon on 07/16/2018

    It's exceedingly rare for a consultative sales professional to genuinely prioritize your objectives over closing a deal, and in doing so gain your trust for the long-term. I'm truly grateful to Mr. Overby for being candid, insightful, and… highly intuitive in his recommendations. I'm a more knowledgeable client as a result, and I look forward to future purchases as well as making referrals to him within my network.

  • New Purchase

    5 out of 5 starsby Suki123 on 07/06/2018

    Worked with Ron Askew. It was a very positive experience. He was the only client advisor to come out and greet us in the parking area. With a handshake and a greeting, he immediately listened to what we wanted and proceeded to negotiate on… our behalf. There was little going back and forth and we got the car we wanted. I would recommend Ron highly to anyone looking to purchase a car in Silver Spring.

  • Fantastic Dealership

    5 out of 5 starsby 9thBeamer on 06/26/2018

    I just completed leasing both a new 5 series and my wife's new 3 series at BMW of Silver Spring. This is my ninth BMW and third lease at BMW of Silver Spring. I had dealt with other dealerships in the past, but found this one to be by far… the best the first time I leased, so I keep coming back and will continue to do so. Over the years, the consultants have been easy to work with, strike the perfect balance between personal and professional, and do not pressure in any way. This time, I worked with Desirea who was a pleasure to work with. Aside from the qualities mentioned above, she is delightful in her enthusiasm for beamers, is relaxed and knows the product, and is very responsive to communications. I negotiated much of this last deal over the phone as I was away on vacation, so there were many back and forths!! She found the exact vehicle I was looking for (540i x-drive, Carbon Black, Night Blue interior, and fineline cove matte wood trim.] She easily got into my rhythm and the entire transaction seemed effortless. In fact, the experience was so positive, that we worked with Silver Spring and Desirea again on my wife's lease which we also just completed. We built this one and Desirea easily guided the build process through the maze of options, packages, etc. We are totally satisfied with both deals. Silver Spring BMW and Desirea are both fantastic. I am sure you will find the same will be true for you!

  • Ron is great!

    5 out of 5 starsby BirthdayGirlX2 on 06/23/2018

    My husband and I walked into BMW last Friday determined to find a new car. Ron was so helpful and slowed us down; ensuring we were making the right decision and finding a car that we didn’t just like, but loved. And thank goodness for him.… I drove away with a new white X2, the new crossover. Ron was able to put together a great deal and worked and reworked different terms until we found the right mix for me. Thanks Ron. We love our new X2!
    • We are happy to hear that Ron took such good care of you! Feel free to reach out to us if you need anything. Have a wonderful day!
