Great Experience I had a great experience working with Steve Messinger and the rest of the Yark team. This is the second vehicle I have purchased from Yark. I told Ste I had a great experience working with Steve Messinger and the rest of the Yark team. This is the second vehicle I have purchased from Yark. I told Steve what I was looking for and he worked diligently and found exactly what we wanted. The transaction was very smooth and the car was exactly as he promised. Upon delivery we received a very detailed orientation from Corie, she was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the car's features. I would and have recommended Yark to anyone. By far out of many vehicle purchases in my lifetime the easiest. More

Unethical! While working with Chris M to purchase our 3rd vehicle from Yark we had to have our current vehicle appraised at Yark to trade for the new vehicle we While working with Chris M to purchase our 3rd vehicle from Yark we had to have our current vehicle appraised at Yark to trade for the new vehicle we had selected. While waiting for the appraiser, Bill P. (Who physically gave us the keys for our test drive and knew full well the vehicle we were buying) SOLD the vehicle we were in the process of buying to customers who arrived at the dealership after us! Bill P. Should have informed the other interested party that there was a sale pending on the vehicle we were in the process of buying and he could then contact them in an hour or so if we decided not to complete the purchase. The Sales Manager Steve K. at Yark backed the appalling action of Bill P. Stating that we had not put any money down to hold the vehicle...now I ask you, when you are physically at a dealership, have already taken a car for a test drive, told the dealer you wanted to buy the car, are having your car appraised for trade in, again... You are physically at the dealership to purchase the vehicle, Would you ever think to say "Hey let me put a credit card hold on the car I'm buying while we complete the paperwork"?!! I never would have thought to do such a thing and apparently neither would Chris M. As he did not ask me to put a hold on the car I was at Yark buying... If he had I would have... all be it ridiculous. Anyways, the manager at Yark is as devoid of integrity as Bill P. and allowed Bill to not only sell the vehicle we were having our car appraised to trade and in the process of BUYING, but he also took the sale and commission from Chris M. I have enjoyed working with Chris M. During the purchase of my other 2 BMW's and am sorry to say I will not be working with him again as I will not return to Yark. Chris M. is very honest and ethical, an apparent rare find at Yark. Bill P. and the management should look to him as an example. Over the years I have referred many to Yark and Chris M. several of my referrals have purchased vehicles from Chris M. / Yark. However, it is unfortunate that rather then referrals I will be telling others of this horrible experience with a firm warning to stay away from Yark BMW. I will never purchase another vehicle from ANY Yark dealership. Final thought, it will be interesting to see if when we arrive at the next dealership, complete our test drive, inform the dealer we want to purchase the car, are having our car appraised, and begin the process of purchasing our next car, when we whip out our credit and say while we buy the car here's my credit card to hold the car.... Will it be met with confusion by the dealer? Hmmmm More

I just bought a Certified PreOwned BMW 325xi from Steve Kizewic. I think he is the manager but he helped me from start to finish. It was an amazing experience. The car was exactly what I wanted and I co Kizewic. I think he is the manager but he helped me from start to finish. It was an amazing experience. The car was exactly what I wanted and I couldn't believe they had an interest rate of 2.9% for a used car-- it is almost unheard of. I was approved in minutes (which seemed almost like seconds), the car was super clean-- they even bought me a new set of floor mats! Steve delivered the car for me and we both drove around to the service dept so I knew where it was and I met Pete Cottingham, who met me at my car and greeted me by name--- what??? I just bought this car, never met him and he knew who I was!!! He had my floor mats out and installed them for me within minutes to ensure they were properly fastened down (I don't want a toyota floor mat/gas pedal incident here!) He made me feel like I had been a customer for years. If you want a superb experience, I suggest you check out Yark BMW. They are incredible! More
