17 April 2026
Replacing my M135i with the latest model only needed the differences and emphasised with the Sales Executive. Many were not pointed out so disappointed. The process of buying the car was a complete faff and a palaver. Hence the overall rating.

10 April 2026
I was told 40 minutes before collection that my brand new BMW M2 had damage to the front bumper. I was promised a repair to a 'new standard'. The repair was conducted to a very poor standard and the redress process was very drawn out - very poor.

I was not impressed being put in a 2 door mini as a courtesy car, I have an X1 5 door. The site is far too small for the amount of vehicles, my car was given back to me with damage. The advisor also saw the scratch, took a photo and not got back to m

27 May 2026
Headlining came in to be re-felted and to stop it squeeking following the last attempt at this repair which left the headlining not secured back in place. It is now squeaking more than ever. I am not sure it was re-felted or indeed much time spent
27 May 2026
Unfortunately after 3 days in the service centre the work is not complete and the problem is still not fully understood. I was lied to about parts being ordered to complete the Job. The parts are now on order and I will have to return for a 4th day.

The Farnborough centre is too busy and far too small for the amount of customers you are dealing with...Closing your Hindhead dealership is a great error !!
18 May 2026
Further to travel (was BMW Hindhead) and didn't like the 'advice' about customer survey
18 May 2026
Waited 30 mins in reception, before someone came to hand back my car. After I arrived, other customers arriving after me were being served. This is the 2nd time this has happen. 17:30 pickup is manic. Why can't they stagger pickup times. I asked 3pm

Great comms, very friendly and accommodating.
26 April 2026
The test drive was very short, and the car's features were not explained to us. I have had to spent a lot of time, mainly with ChatGPT (because the online manual is not very explanatory) learning. I would also have chosen different options.

Great service, no complaints at all.
24 April 2026
Car booked in very quickly. Courtesy call when completed
22 April 2026

22 April 2026
The service from Josh was great, what was really disappointing was paying over £400 for a service and they asked did I want the car cleaned (yes) but it wasn't cleaned at all
