Dearlers and bad service

You sir need to be more aware of what's going on. I always check my tires first thing, before picking up the car.....caught it done incorrectly a couple times.
This is not inspiring.

It is true that some stealerships provide good service, however I still contend that stealerships only do one thing well: sell cars.
Everything else is a sideline to prop up the bottom line.
Don't get me started.

Now it is spring again, and I went to put back on the summers, to find out the rear tires I had replaced, were put on backwards and no one on town wants to flip them for fear they might tear up the tire. SO, now I have to risk buying two more tires to get them flipped, or drive them with out the correct pattern.

sport ps2, which have a outside.. I do normally check that things are done right, but after fighting about the carpet in the door, I was steaming mad. I can't stand when someone tells me something happened else where, when I know it was in there under my items in the door. that carpet keep the keys I keep in the door from rattling. Plus when I call and got a price quote for the tires he told me 980 something, then later that day said it was going to be just over a 1000, but when I got there, it was 1200 for two tires ordered from tirerack.com. I was in a real hurry since I was in a military school and really shouldn't had been gone from class. It was a real bad day. Lesson learned well.

Not good. We choose major stealerships for peace of mind, perceived superior service and technical capabilities. We pay a premium for this and it still shocks me when they fail to deliver. Dont get me wrong, I have had some excellent experiences with various stealerships in the past but when they funk-up they can really funk-up! On one occasion when they were putting my alloys on they snaped the head of the locking key into the locking nut. Worse thing is they did not admit it at the time. Luckily I noticed a few days after when washing the car. Took it straight back and demanded they fix it. They had to drill the locking nut out, damaging my alloy in the process. They also replaced the locking nuts as I would have expected.
Sanj - did you get another 5er after selling up or was this enough to make you switch marques altogether?

And I have also seriously considered making the switch. BMW make amazing cars and it's almost the case where the product sells itself and the brand is a victim of its own success. Unfortunately, many of the SA's at the stealerships know this and therefore, in my opinion and experience, take liberties. How do you find the SA's at Benz?
