Hi, I’m Bill Emerson, Service Manager at Germain BMW. I have been a member of the Germain team since 1996. I am married to my wonderful wife Celine for 19 years and we have a son Robbie. Away from the dealership I enjoy spending time with my family, baseball, fishing and camping. Next time you find yourself in need of service I hope you allow me the opportunity to earn your business.

It truly saddens us that you are disappointed with our dealership and our car wash policy. This policy was implemented in an effort to provide quality service to our guest. Due to the number of sales and service vehicles and the limited number of operational hours, we felt in the interest of our guest the following guidelines allowed us the best possible solution to provide quality service. All our sold customers receive a coupon book which provides them 2 free car washes a month. This car wash includes hand wash, vacuuming, and windows. They also receive coupons for 2 washes at a discounted rate of $15.00 each. All service vehicles receive the same service at each visit weather permitting. Unfortunately cars not purchased from our dealership or not being serviced no longer have access to the car wash. However, as a goodwill gesture we would like to extend this offer to you, car washes at the discount rate of $15.00. Best Regards, Flavio Galasso General Manager

As I stated in my previews post, that is an arbitrary decision. I bought my vehicle from a BMW dealership, on the east coast. There are numerous BMW dealerships on the east coast, and I have always brought my car to any of them for car, with no problem at all. I expected to receive the same level of service, if not better, seeing the level and type of customers in the area. Your gesture is not of goodwill, but of trying to make a squeaky wheel go away, when in fact the heart of the problem is that the logic behind your policy makes no sense. I had no control over which location I bought my car from, and it seems absurd to punish a BMW customer for not buying a GERMAIN BWM. I could understand you not extending this service to BWM owners who bought their car at a non-BMW dealership, but to discriminate between one BMW dealership and another sounds like terrible business practices for BWM America. I am assuming that the ultimate BMW experience ends at Germaine BMW. Thank you for your offer, but at this point I will politely decline any offers coming from your dealership. The logic behind this policy only succeeds in alienating BMW customers.

I sincerely apologize that you are not happy with your most recent visit to our dealership. We truly understand your frustration and tried working with you and BMW NA to replace your convertible top which was brought in for wear as a warranty item. Unfortunately, BMW NA denied our request and did not offer any goodwill in this matter. Thru this entire matter I never informed them that you were a used car wholesaler, I treated you and your claim as I would any other Germain BMW of Naples customer. Once again I’m sorry this does not meet with your expectations and would like to continue a working relationship with your business. As per our conversation you have my direct line and I am always available to assist you in all I can to check any used BMW maintenance history etc. It truly saddens me to hear of your displeasure as I did go above and beyond trying to assist you. Please reach out at any time. All the best, Bill Emerson

Bill, | I have already talked with you about my issue in regards to car washes. You did not seem too enthusiastic in finding a resolution. As I told before we hung up on the phone, the policy your dealership has adopted is too arbitrary and your response was OK. I also advised you that I would post a review online as a feedback to the conversation, and again your response was OK. Thank you for the assistance, but I believe I will let this review to go live.
