Dave Babb Review of Schomp BMW
We went there for the person of Ian McCullough. We...
We went there for the person of Ian McCullough. We bought from him when he was at a different dealership - and we sought him out again. Ian at his previous dealership - matched us up with the perfect vehicle - It is an awesome vehicle that fit our needs perfectly.
Ian does one thing many at other dealerships do not - he LISTENS to you to determine YOUR needs and wants, then proceeds to be your advocate to get you matched up with the right vehicle, and then is also your advocate working the financing. He WILL NOT try to sell you car "B", when you ask for car "A". If he thinks it is viable for your personal goals - then he will make suggestions and such - but has not ever tried to override our wishes to sell us something else - if he doesn't have in stock what we ask for initially.
Ian is straightforward, transparent, and is your advocate. He's also quite chill - and doesn't deploy pressure, nor strong arming the customer.
I would recommend Ian to anyone....
And the dealership - was so atypical for a car dealership. Chill, friendly, helpful, and welcome questions. They are also not involved with bending a person's arm.
I chose Ian because of his trustworthy behavior in past cars we've purchased from him - And yet we gained something more - a dealership that I fell comfortable having my wife of 45 years go to alone. I am older, USMC 'Nam era vet...I have no delusions of living forever. The vehicle Ian chose for us is once again a perfect fit for us, and tied me into some technical resources while we were there so I could "talk tech". I am an old race mechanic. NO ONE shied away from talking tech with me. And no one looked at me as a has been/old fool. Respect, courtesy, warmth and friendliness.
Everyone was clear about the pros and cons of the car we were looking at. If it wasn't for Ian's presence here - we weren't even thinking of a BMW - but his presence and presenting the facts of the candidate car (BMW i3 REx) - got us pretty excited. And Garrett - the technical resource - was awesome too...He is a wealth of EV knowledge that at our age - we lack.
And he laid out for us clearly, an easy and simple paradigm, totally convenient, in transitioning from a gas engine to an EV.
And just sitting around and watching the dealership - I did not - not one time - see ANYONE being pressured. Everyone was calm, cool, collected, and professional....
And as an old Marine - the great coffee didn't hurt either!
So go see this dealership and seek out Ian. If Ian is slammed busy for some reason - he will pair you with someone else that is like him. Good people today - all whom I met.
And no - Ian is no relationship with our family - so this is not a biased report. This is simply what I saw and experienced.
If you go there - there is no doubt in my mind you will get the same treatment we got today.....
