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.

Service people incredibly rude. Treated us like peasants. Would not recommend. Would not even waste time trying to get service.

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.

I'm pretty annoyed…read more Walked in, yes no one was available but zero greetings or acknowledgment. So I went to the service department and asked the guy what do I do and how do I check in for my appointment. He was so kind to go in the back and then came up to let me know someone will be with me. I don't remember the guy that helped us but his answer to everything was "it's on the app, well it's in the app, it should be on the app". Look here dude, I have looked on the app and I have attempted, that's why I'm asking you. Anyways, he couldn't figure out why he was unable to deliver the car to us and he made me get out of the app, refresh the app, and even sign onto my account on their computer. In the end, he still said on his side it's showing something needs to be completed on my end on the app. At this point I just gave the guy my phone and told him to have fun. I felt he did not care or at least his cop out answer to everything was essentially "go to the app and don't talk to me". He even asked me if I had found my car yet. No, because I can't access anything nor did I drive around and snooped. It was dark. He ended up needing help from someone above him and the guy just told him to manually deliver the car to me otherwise we'll be there all night because that's all they needed and it's not showing up for some reason I will tell you I was pretty irritated dealing with sheer lack of professionalism. I guess it's not needed when they're not commission based? But at this point it was borderline incompetence because his answer was always go to the app or it's on the app versus "here let me show you on the app". No brand new car pictures, no do you kneed anything else, just nothing. When the other person had me signed his phone to release the car to me, they walked me to the front where the cyber truck was and said here's your car and they walked back in. Honestly one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a car dealership. But hey at least they had refreshments and it was clean.

I had such a wonderful experience with Tesla Service and wanted to take a moment to share how…read moreimpressed I was with the entire process. From start to finish, everything was handled so smoothly and professionally. The team was incredibly helpful, communicative, and made the repair process completely stress-free. They kept me updated throughout the service and made sure everything was taken care of with great attention to detail. I especially want to mention Francis, who is truly one of the nicest gentlemen. He made me feel so welcomed from the moment I arrived and went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of. That level of kindness and customer care really stands out. They even provided me with a beautiful Model X as a loaner, which made the experience feel seamless and honestly pretty exciting as well. It's clear the Tesla team really cares about their customers and takes pride in delivering excellent service. I'm incredibly grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown throughout the entire process. Thank you again to Francis and the Tesla service team for going above and beyond!
