"PRICELESS CUSTOMERS SERVICE AND A GREAT EXPERIENCE" I went to Ferman because of a reference through my employer's perks. Not sure what I wanted nor what would happen. I wanted to get a used car but wasn I went to Ferman because of a reference through my employer's perks. Not sure what I wanted nor what would happen. I wanted to get a used car but wasn't sure it would go thru with the bank, if you know what I mean. However, the finance guy made it happen for me. I don't remember his name, but I called him "pretty boy" as he is a very handsome young man! While we were there waiting, me and my granddaughter, Dan, my sales person, took great care of us. The waiting area was clean, and it had plenty of snacks and drinks available. The best part was that they have an area for kids, so my grandbaby was entertained and did not asked me once if we were done yet. ;-) So I went home with my new vehicle, and when I got there, my husband got very upset with me because I did not consulted him before I agreed to purchase the vehicle. He does not like car payments!!! But I wanted a newer car with more up to date features. He was so mad at me that he was ready to divorce me! So on Monday morning, I went to see Karl Alvarez to see what he could do to help me., because I loved the new car, but I love my husband more!!! As I sat in his office, he took the time to listen to my dilemma, even though it wasn't his problem that I chose to not consult my husband. His reply to me was, "Don't worry! We will make right and we'll do what we have to. But the sale of a car is not worth a broken relationship!" I was shocked when I heard that, as again, it wasn't his problem. He told me to call my husband and ask him what will make him happy. My husband went with me 2 days later to talk to Karl. He listened to my husband and they got to an agreement! I got to keep my newer car and my husband too! To me, that was priceless!!!! No other dealership that I have ever dealt with really could not give a c*** about my life or problems as long as they got the sale. But at Ferman BMW they are not like that! They care about the whole customer experience from beginning to end, including saving a marriage! When ever I am ready to buy that brand new BMW, I promised Karl that I will come back to them!!!! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO DAN MACDONALD, MY SALES PERSON, JARED WHITE, AND TO KARL ALVAREZ FOR THE PRICELESS COMMITMMENT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! More

Ultimate Buying Experience On December 27th, we ordered a 2018 330e for our daughter as a college graduation gift. From beginning to end the experience was fabulous. We tracke On December 27th, we ordered a 2018 330e for our daughter as a college graduation gift. From beginning to end the experience was fabulous. We tracked the progress of the order via the “MyBMW” website. The BMW Genius hotline even gave us the name of the cargo ship that her car was loaded onto in Munich. Using marinetraffic.com, we were able to monitor the ship’s journey from Germany to the US. When the car arrived in Palm Harbor, our client adviser Dan McCloy called us right away and scheduled the delivery appointment for the next day (March 31st). After a brief, but pleasant experience with Bobby Haines in the finance department, Toby and Scott (BMW Geniuses) helped our daughter learn all of her new car’s features; from pairing her phone to using the electric car charging port. Overall it was the best car-buying experience we have ever had! More

Best First Car Experience! Dan Macdonald is by far one of the better salesman at Ferman BMW. As a first time buyer he did not make me feel pressured or stressed about the proces Dan Macdonald is by far one of the better salesman at Ferman BMW. As a first time buyer he did not make me feel pressured or stressed about the process. Dan always answered my calls and was on time about minor repairs that the car needed before sale. The staff always greeted with a smile and offered snacks and drinks while waiting for paperwork. I was worried about the car buying process and with Dan I felt like I had chosen the right dealership. I will recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy their first car. Great experience! More
