    Ken is wholly responsible for our great experience here. Her isn't much I despise more than car shopping, I told him so upon meeting him. He made the entire experience painless and easy! We got the cars we absolutely love without any hassle. They could use an additional person in the service area where they check you in for services...but even that isn't too painful with the incredible coffee machine in the waiting area. We always joke we should head over to BMW for coffee. Thank you Ken for cars we didn't know we needed and love.

    AFTER 6 hours of waiting...they failed to reset the Brake Fluid light. Did they actually change the fluid?? Who knows.

    Failed to reset the Brake fluid light. Did they actually change the fluid? Who knows. Also reprogrammed a key for $190 which didn't work. Refunded the money but tried to charge me until I called him on it. Again, I waited for over 6 hours to get a brake fluid flush and a new battery for $1000. My one star is richly deserved. Every time I have to go to this dealer, the service gets worse and the prices go up. I should switch to Mercedes.

    Where paint was blown off
    Michael J.

    First I'll start by saying that I have owned 3 BMWs and been to numerous BMW dealerships. Nine times out of Ten, I have had a great experience with each dealership, which is why I have continued to buy BMWs. This all changed once I moved to South Lake Tahoe and Bill Pierce BMW was the closest option (in Reno). First issue: My X5 needed an oil change so I took it to Bill Pierce BMW. Upon picking up the car, I noticed a chunk of paint missing on the bumper and the grip tape was partially missing as well. You could tell that they power washed the car to closely and blasted paint off. I reached out to inquire about this issue and they asked me to bring it in (my wife brought it in, and we live in 60 miles away). They looked at the issue and acknowledge that the paint had indeed been power washed off, but it only came off due to a "Compromised" paint job. So in essence, it was my fault, or the dealership that painted the bumper's fault, that they blew off the paint. They then refused to touch up the bumper and told me to reach out to BMW SLO who painted the car. This is crazy to me as Bill Peirce BMW could have just touched up the paint and we all could have been on our way. It's not like we are talking about a giant fix here. It should never be the client's responsibility to figure out which dealership within an organization is at fault. I went to BMW SLO and told them story, and they laughed, and went so they blew the paint off your car and they want us to pay for it? I agreed as it's pretty much common sense they wouldn't pay for another dealerships damage. Second Issue: I needed new brake pads, and they said they can only change them if they do the rotors. I understand why they say that, but it is far from necessary. I proceeded with the rotors and brake pads. 1 year later and a few thousand miles, my brake light came on again. They said I needed new rotors and brake pads again. Given that I had barely driven this car I opted not to get them changed. I then took the car into a local shop and they said the rotors and brakes were fine and that there was short causing the sensor to turn on. So Bill Pierce was essentially trying to get me to change perfectly find rotors and brakes. Extremely unethical. 3rd Issue: My car was rear ended from during a snow storm. Their insurance was paying for the new bumper. Bill Pierce put on the bumper and did not clip in the side so it is fully attached. They acknowledged they missed it, but wouldnt correct their mistake. Probably would have taken 30 minutes. So all in all, this dealership has ruined the paint on my car and refused to take ownership of their mistakes, and engages in unethical behavoir on the regular. BMW corporate has no power to make dealerships own up to their actions, so you have to be extra careful where you take it. I would highly advise going anywhere else besides this dealership. This is not only the worst BMW location I have ever dealt with, it is the worst location out of any mechanic shop I have been to. You risk having your car damaged, and getting stuck with the bill. Moral of the story don't risk it with Bill Pierce BMW.

    I had never bought a vehicle from a dealership before, so I was a little apprehensive going into…read moreit, but I'm really glad I ended up buying from Corwin. I worked with Hunter, who was patient with me throughout the process and helped me find a 2019 F-150 that had everything I was looking for. His manager, Andrew, also came over and introduced himself, which I appreciated. There were a few very minor issues with the truck, and Hunter told me they would take care of them. I didn't get anything in writing; I just took his word for it. I wasn't totally sure what to expect, but Hunter followed through on everything they said they would do, and then some. They really went above and beyond, fixed the issues, and clearly care about their customers and their reputation. It was a much better experience than I was expecting, and I would buy from them again.

    We recently purchased a vehicle from Corwin Ford and worked directly with Kevin Intiso. Kevin was…read moreprofessional, steady, and thoughtful throughout the process. He communicated clearly, followed through, and conducted himself in a way that inspired confidence. Our broader experience at the dealership was more mixed. While the transaction ultimately concluded, certain aspects of the process did not align with the standard we had hoped for. We will leave it at that. We do, however, want to recognize Kevin for the manner in which he represented himself and assisted us.

    Muscle Motors is one of the best places to check out if you're looking for any type of vehicle. I…read morereally appreciated the honesty and care that Mr. Russ Martinez showed, even while I was just browsing. He's clearly knowledgeable about cars and provides excellent customer service. This is definitely a trustworthy place, and I highly recommend it.

    While the dealership might be great, Zander was not. I was helping my son out and we called last…read moreweek about a specific car. Zander answered my questions, until I asked if they would take a certain amount. He said he would get back to my son. He didn't. He texted about something and when my son said he appreciated his help and did he ask about the amount. His response was "I did bro". Are we 16? We called about it today. He couldn't talk to me since it's not my profile. Kid was sitting next to me. He said he would call us back in a few minutes. We waited 30 min and he didn't. We called him back and then he placed us on hold forever. Still not real sure why. Funny enough, came back he just sold the car. I understand that can happen, however it's still on their website. Offered to send pics of the same car just a year newer and then hung up on us. My son called him back, he said oh that car's getting detailed. He had lots of those cars and to pick one. He wasted our time, was unprofessional. Left a voicemail on my son's phone where he said, "Calling for ***,this is Zander" and hung up. It's really to bad for Zander that he went about this sale, communication, and overall experience with this dealership poor, because my son has cash to spend.
