New X1
byon 04/11/2024
I recently purchased an X1 from Bert Smith BMW and Kaitlyn made the whole process unbelievably easy. She never put any pressure on me and, instead, helped me find the exact car I was looking for at the right price. The dealership had none of the hidden fees or extras you see at other dealerships. Great experience!

Not happy!
byon 04/24/2024
I was very disappointed in my recent visit to Bert Smith BMW. First off I deal with the same advisor and do understand that this is not his fault as I told him. But the long and short of it is... randomly I began hearing a thumping in the back drivers side door area, sounding like someone hitting on a microphone, a sound you would think you would hear from a faulty speaker. All of this is listed in the description on my paperwork upon arriving for service. I was told that it would be a $229.00 diagnosis fee. Fine. I dropped the vehicle off Wed 8:30AM...I had correspondence with my advisor during the day basically stating no obvious cause being found...no fault codes stored to pinpoint them in any direction, so having to test each module. When I brought it in I wondered if it could be the amplifier, but was told when that goes bad it will have communication faults stored and that is not the case. It was there all day...and when nothing had been finalized at days end, advisor said they would keep looking the next day and should be able to diagnose by then. I left the vehicle overnight. On Thursday I called at 3pm to get an update. They had found nothing to this point, however, now stated that it could be the back speaker but to find out I would need to pay another $350 for them to remove the door panel to investigate. I asked advisor why they had not started with looking at the speaker but evidently they have to look at other things first. (Not clear on that). Speakers are not in stock so even if I chose to have the door panel removed the speaker wouldn't be put in till one was ordered. I picked my vehicle up without repair. I was just totally frustrated that two days later I was back to square one after not having my vehicle for two days which as everyone knows is a hectic thing in itself. I also feel that after not finding anything with the first diagnosis fee, I am not guaranteed that after spending yet another $350.00 the problem may still not be resolved and further diagnosis is needed adding further money to find the issue. Without knowing anything about vehicles a speaker or something with the audio system seems to be the obvious just based on the sound. I feel like two days of searching provided no results...after paying a diagnosis fee and now more money is needed to continue figuring out the problem. I am still driving my vehicle with a loud popping noise in the back. I turn the radio off...it comes on by itself and randomly startles you as you are driving as the loud sound emits from the rear randomly. I get out of the vehicle...turn it off...walk away and still hear the loud popping noise coming from the vehicle. How many diagnosis fees must you pay to figure out the problem. For all I know it may not be the speaker at all...but have no clue. Unfortunately I have never had this happen at this dealer where I purchased my vehicle but feel in this case that I dealt with a random small unprofessional car repair shop.

Fantastic car buying experience
byon 04/03/2024
I contacted several BMW dealerships throughout the Tampa Bay Area, but my experience here really stood out. From my initial email, Jashua Figueroa provided me with clear, straightforward pricing information, something no other dealership offered. Our first visit to the dealership for further information was equally impressive. We met with Jashua and Brandon Gimlin, who guided us through options that best fit what we valued. They introduced us to a set of incentives we were unaware of, which helped guide our decision too. We returned and met with finance manager Iwona Janczak, who efficently helped us finalize our purchase. Having purchased several cars in recent years, I can easily say that my experience with Bert Smith BMW was among the best.

I had a Dental appointment at a specialist located about 1 mile from Bert Smith BMW. On my way there I contacted BMW to see if I could get my necessary oil change after my dental visit . They accommodated my request and gave me the required service with just hours notice

Bert Smith BMW Service

I just picked up my car from Bert Smith. Everything is perfect. I love that they leave it idling a while, then take it for a test drive, then let it sit and watch for any leaks or anything else not perfect. And great people. 30 year customer.

Bert Smith BMW's service is far better than some other fairly local BMW dealerships. I got in quickly and they completed the service a reasonable amount of time. I am satisfied with all of the service personnel. They did a great job.

Unbeatable customer service!

Mirnes was my service advisor, this gentleman went above and beyond to make sure nothing on my vehicle was missed! Mirnes actually cares about his clients and makes sure they are 100% satisfied when they leave! Dropped my vehicle off on a Friday picked it up on the following Tuesday after very time consuming repairs. This service department is fast and efficient! BMW definitely has this stigma that vehicle repairs at the BMW dealership are incredibly expensive but it's just not true here at Bert Smith! Don't believe me? Go try it out for yourself!

Worth the extra drive

I recently worked with Roger Pedersen on the purchase of a new X7, and I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Bert Smith BMW. I have purchased many vehicles, and this was the smoothest and quickest yet. They did not try to tack on “dealer installed options” and significant “market adjustments” like my local BMW dealer was. Bert Smith also gave me much more for my trade. Will do business with them again.
