Dishonest Very dishonest business practices - they will coerce you into buying the car but once they have your money they don't care about you anymore. I highly Very dishonest business practices - they will coerce you into buying the car but once they have your money they don't care about you anymore. I highly recommend staying FAR away from Brian Jessel - and if for some reason you choose to do business with them... read the contract and fine print VERY carefully and do not expect honesty or fairness.

Worst Class Dealership - zero star if allowed I am not trying to turn this into a public manner, but I was EXTREMELY disappointed with this “Ultimate” BMW dealership. I have been their loyal custo I am not trying to turn this into a public manner, but I was EXTREMELY disappointed with this “Ultimate” BMW dealership. I have been their loyal customer for almost 4 years. I go back to do service and maintenance every year and being satisfied until the most recent visit. (I mean their customer service is world class and they have a nice lounge for you to get your job done while away from the office) I check the report every time after they did a “World Class” inspection and see any caution I need to be aware of. I compared to my last report they provided to me, and see the brake lining thickness has been increased while I haven’t got my brake pad changed since day one I got my car. I purposely raise up this issue before the service to the Service Advisor – Hossein. He told me he will take care of that. After waiting for three hours and he told me my brake pad is normal and nothing to be worried. I am happy, of course! Here the problem comes, by comparing to the last year report, the brake lining increase 2mm. I went back to the dealership another day, their Assistant Service Manager, Alex offered me help. After telling him my concern, his replied is” it is not accurate as it is only an estimation by human eye, and it is acceptable when this is a courtesy service.” If you just consider that as a courtesy service, why border provide a “World Class” inspection to the customer? Why border even print out a report to your customer? They obviously don’t care the after-sales service. It is also UNBELIEVABLE that I would receive this kind of answer without even showing a little concern from a manager of them. They could be the best on selling cars, as they only concern how to get the car key into your pocket. But for sure not the best dealership and not providing “First Class” service which mentioned on their website! More
Ripoff service department Beware of the service department. They will rip you off charging you for items covered by warranty. On top of the extremely poor customer service.

Advisor was a total mess Brian Jessel was always the best of the local service centers for BMW. I Just took my car in and was talked into extra services. The price was very hi Brian Jessel was always the best of the local service centers for BMW. I Just took my car in and was talked into extra services. The price was very high but did the service. However, the advisor was completely scattered, mis-quoted the price several times and basically had no idea what she was doing. Problems were found but again, the advisor couldn't figure out how to give me a price. I'm beyond busy and waisted money and more importantly time. I think the volume of this dealership is killing their productivity and has lowered the quality of their staff. I suggest you take your BMW somehwere else. I run a business and this is all pretty easy to see. More
Safety recall used as rip off opportunity BMW advised my 3 series had a defect which could result in a vehicle fire and advised not to park the car in the garage. Close to a year later the pa BMW advised my 3 series had a defect which could result in a vehicle fire and advised not to park the car in the garage. Close to a year later the parts arrive. Once there I walked out with a bill for $3700 for the Timing Belt cautionary replacement and over $1200 for the Valve gasket. Important to note the car was running fine before the recall and was NOT LEAKING OIL. The day after I took the car home it leaked oil all over the garage floor. When I brought the car back in they took no responsibility for the leak and stated it would be another $1800 to replace the valve cover which now apparently had a crack in it and was now apparently the cause of the oil leak. This was apparently missed the first time round. Once again the car was not leaking prior to the initial recall. Did they damage the plastic valve cover when doing the initial gasket replacement? I suppose I should be grateful as they only now want to charge me $600 for the gasket cover which they obviously damaged. Brian Jessel has contempt for their customers and will attempt to rip you off for us much as you let them. Be very cautious with these crooks and scrutinize your bill as they like to pad absolutely everything. NO HONOUR JUST PUNK THIEFS! More

Defective car or defective service I have spent 20K over less than 7 yrs maintaining my X3 2008. Bought it brand new from this dealer in 2008. Almost always serviced from this dealer af I have spent 20K over less than 7 yrs maintaining my X3 2008. Bought it brand new from this dealer in 2008. Almost always serviced from this dealer after expiry of warranty. Either the car was defective or the service is. Either an oil leak or some gasket or something. I don't drive roughly no accidents, kids in the back, safe driving. I have heard a worse horror story which I believe but its not mine, so I won't put that here. Don't buy from this dealer and don't service. If you are rich, no need to read this review. I don't mind affording the higher maintenance for a BMW, a higher labour charge, but this much expense is beyond what I see on the Internet. Obviously customer service is good because I am paying so much for it...but they don't want to make any concessions when it comes to billing. More

I too as a previous post dealt with Daniel Hui in service and found him to have impeccable service. I had bought a 2019 BMW x3 and it was supposed to have wifi hotspot; after a phone call and not able to get it on the vehicle I had to come in and was noted that it had to have been activated and installed simply by sales at the time I picked up my vehicle. Prior to me coming in, they asked if I needed a courtesy car and would have one ready for me if it was going to take more time. It was such a simple issues that got resolved right away and I also met one of their "genius" techs who guided me on how to now instal and get my 3 mo free service - he also made sure I didn't leave until everything was working properly and that I had all my questions answered. They even asked if I wanted my vehicle washed before taking it home (which they didn't have to) From the sales receptionist to the service advisor to the product genius person, overall very impressed with the service!
