For over 4 years unusual rust under the BMW SAV has not been resolved despite promises from General Manager, Service Managers and service advisors each time I was told specialist comes once a month and they would set up an appointment and that never took place, strangely enough those service specialists who promised to follow up are no longer working there and everything falls into cracks. This time they said it is a normal rust without the rust specialist (apparently they became rust specialist and they did not need rust specialist again) Window sealant started to crumble within 4 years and the same story, they never fixed it when it was still under warranty, this visit they just gave me cost of fixing it when it should have been fixed under warranty. SAV's engine was seized up while driving right after drivetrain malfunction and low oil pressure alert. They first asked $21,000 to change the engine when car's value was half of it. Then I found out that this was a common problem with BMW 2013 SAV, instead of covering the cost of it, I was charged for the engine, however I found out that they only changed the parts of the engine not the whole engine as I was told. I also learnt that they even changed the brand new battery less than a year old when I had 3 year warranty on that battery without my knowledge and agreement. Engine was fixed, but drivetrain malfunction was not fixed when the service specialist Alex told me that drivetrain malfunction and low oil pressure issues would be resolved when the engine is changed. And it was not resolved. On this service they did not even bother the fix it without me paying for it, when they should be apologizing not fixing it in the first place as they promised it would be, I was blamed for not bringing the car earlier when I called and left several phone messages for Alex and my calls never returned, and I found out that (conveniently) Alex was no longer working there. I understand that mistakes can happen in any profession, what matters is fixing it and doing it right way. But that's not the case with BMW Las Vegas or Henderson. There is no service culture and no ownership of a problem. When I brought up all issues that were not fixed for many years now, which most of them on record apparently and some of them are not even written in the system, the answer I got on this service was "It was not me". Well you are the BMW, aren't you? Bottom line is there is no ownership of any problems or follow up.
I wanted to talk to Service manager, twice when I had to drive there twice, in one week, one was 9:30 am another one closer to noon, answer I got without even checking with service manager, "He is in the meeting". I asked to speak General Manager, answer i got was I am not sure if he is available. I have been a BMW driver for over 20 years and purchased 4 BMW's during this time. This is the worst BMW service I came across. The issues are still not resolved from cover of glove compartment coming off since 2016 to missing child seat covers (since they never put it back after the recall fix), paint on windshield side strip panel is coming off on windshield, crumbled window sealants on windshield and back triangle windows, drivetrain malfunction. These issues started when it was still under warranty, this visit I was only given how much it would cost me to fix them.
