Service Stinks
I purchased an older BMW but with low miles and excellent maintenance. When I took it in the 1st time I asked them to check out the transmission warning I had received, do the oil change and also replace some bulbs in the interior and check out the electrical. They replaced the bulbs had no answer for the transmission and thought the electrical was okay. They did not put the interior panels in the back of my car back in place and there was evidence that things stowed in the back had been tossed around, they did not reset the convenience lights that let you know when you need an oil change. This all cost just over $1000. Next time I took it in was again an electrical issue. Now the car was blowing a fuse each time I turned my headlights on, my gauge lights went out. Took it back and $519. later it was explained that they had found 4 wires that were bad and had repaired them, NOW they tell me that these older cars a lot of times need a new wiring harness (approx $2000.) Now my trunk lid on my wagon pops up each time I turn my head lights on! When I called for help the only option I was given was the new wiring harness that I feel should have been suggested in the first place! Instead of charging me for patch jobs! If they know something like the wiring is a problem, why not bring it up in the beginning? At least that way the owner of the vehicle has the option of having it checked 1st, or trying the patchwork option.
