A Pleasant Buying Experience Had a specific vehicle in mind, and BMW of Westlake was the only dealership that had something similar at the time. Emailed in and received a prompt Had a specific vehicle in mind, and BMW of Westlake was the only dealership that had something similar at the time. Emailed in and received a prompt response. Scheduled a test drive and was given a great overview of features and solid recommendations on options. Without asking, I was given discounts and promotions on the car. I had to order mine, and it did take 12 weeks, but it had to be built in Germany. On delivery, they had already adjusted down my deal based on the then current incentives. Had the car prepped and ready and walked me through the process. Just a buying pleasure. Great Team, very fair and proactive on pricing and deals. More

I know purchasing a new car is not an easy process. However, BMW Westlake and Jerry Mancini always make the process easy and quick. They are patient with me as I research what I am looking for in a vehicle and always fair in their pricing. The finance process with Mike was quick and efficient. The genius (Ian) is a great addition to the team. I left happy and well educated on my new vehicle all the features and bells and whistles.I keep going back to BMW for the brand but more so because of the people and the experience! Well done! More

Great experience! Purchased my first BMW, and couldn't have had a better experience.

I was greeted by an employee as soon as I entered the dealership who put me in immediate contact with Ken for our appointment. Ken was great to deal with, and very responsive to my emails and calls. At no time did I feel any pressure, and Ken made sure I understood all of my options at all times. Mike was super friendly while doing my paperwork, and explained everything as we went. Ian went through all the features of the vehicle (both inside and out) before I left, and made sure I understood how to work everything. I felt valued the entire time I was in the dealership. I would highly recommend purchasing your next vehicle from them! More

Quality Service and Customer Satisfaction My wife and I were planning to buy a new car and decided to upgrade our vehicle by checking out the BMW dealership near us in Westlake. Soon after we My wife and I were planning to buy a new car and decided to upgrade our vehicle by checking out the BMW dealership near us in Westlake. Soon after we arrived, we were approach by Jerry, who asked if we were being helped yet and if we needed any help finding anything. We told him what we were interested in and he helped check out the vehicles and gave us an overview of the options available at the time. We ended up finding a car that matched what we were looking for, test drove it, and bought it that day. Jerry was super friendly through the whole experience, helpful, and kept things very relaxed. Even Mike was very helpful with financing and plan options without any pressure towards taking something we wouldn’t be interested in. This being our first vehicle with an interface screen, Ian was very helpful in pointing out the functionality and use of each part; even helping us sync phones right there. Ultimately the exemplary level of customer service experienced here coupled with the excellent nature of the vehicles will likely have my wife and I returning for our future BMW needs, and recommending others to share in the experience. Thanks! More
