Dealership Sales Review

Poor service after the sale
Written by bmwduane on 08/05/2014

Purchased used 2006 BMW at Malloy Ford 6/14/2014. The brakes would not meet PA State inspection. Spoke with Dana, who offered to ship me the needed rotors. Since my mechanic had already installed new rotors, we agreed that refunding me $325 (the cost that purchasing and shipping the rotors would have cost the dealer) would be fair. (My total repair bill was $720) The refund was never sent, and after further conversations with sales manager Dana, I found that the dealership would not be sending a refund. She was going to have her service manager call me....but the call was never returned. Additionally, Jeffrey D., the salesperson told me that the remote locking fob just needed the battery changed. He would have replaced it, but the dealership didn't have batteries in stock. Upon further inspection after the sale, I found that the key fob did NOT have a replaceable battery, and I spent over $250 at the BMW dealer to rectify this misrepresentation. Final note: I purchased a used car at a reasonable price, but the dealer was unwilling to offer any customer service after the sale. Get EVERYTHING in writing, and have everything taken care of BEFORE you sign on the dotted line. They will not help you out afterwards. I trusted them, and got lousy customer service in return.

Dealer Response
As a VA dealership we can only legally guarantee a vehicle will pass VA state inspection. This was an AS IS vehicle as you were aware. That being said, when you called and spoke to Dana about the brakes not passing PA inspection, you asked if we would be willing to send you the brakes and rotors for your mechanic to install. She told you that she did not have the authority but would find out. You told her you would wait for her call. She called you the next day and told you that the dealership would be willing to send you the parts. At that time you told her your mechanic had already installed the new brakes and rotors, why? Then you told her that you wanted us to send you the money instead. As a business we are willing to help resolve this matter by giving you services or parts but not cash. You were aware of this and as a business owner you stated you would do the same. We are not sure why you closed the only recourse we had to make you happy.
