sorry if this has been posted before... but those of you in southern cali reccommend a service dept other than long beach bmw, and is it okay to go to another dealership or service dept to get you car worked on... reason being is that i heard alot of horror stories about lb bmw.... and i would like to take my car in to get checked and oil change.dont wnat to bring my car in for one thing then more problems pop up... that were never there..... if anyone does have good experiences at lb bmw let me know.... thanks eric d

you can always take your car to another dealer but they probably won't give you a loaner since you didn't get the car from them.

No prob... I take my car to LB BMW... just got my oil change today. $99 ARGH!!!! but they're fine... they A TON better than Assael BMW. And they're close to work. Ask for Anthony tell him Eric with the mini and BMW 545 sent you and he'll take care of you.

I've heard of horror stories too but I really havent had much problems wtih them. I've had lots of stuff done to my MINI under warranty and they fix everything.

P.S. the BMW wasnt even bought there but I use them for service. No Probs.

Not sure what bad stores you have heard. I have seen no posts about LBBMW that are negative. I have been using them for about 15 years and several 5 series and no issues. There are others in So Cal that I have seen posts about that are much worse.

Why not stop by and talk to them about your concerns. They are locally owned and been around for many many years.
