I had a scheduled appointment for a recall which they had the parts for and my car sat for 3 days without working on it. We were told it would take a day or day and half but when we called and text we receiv the parts for and my car sat for 3 days without working on it. We were told it would take a day or day and half but when we called and text we received no updates. Finally we were told they were backed up with appointments. What is the point of an appointment then? They told us they were reservations and they go in the order of the reservations. Never have we dealt with this at BMW Sarasota or any dealer. We had to escalate the issue because Derek would not respond and left message for the Service Manager, Mr. Chong Lee who never called us back. Paula was able to help us and we asked for another service advisor but had to pick up with Derek who still had a poor attitude and did us a favor by getting us a loaner. A loaner is a benefit with any true luxury brand. Treated terribly and reported the issue with BMW of North America as BMW Sarasota is a disservice to the BMW brand. More
