He knew the car and features inside and out and fully charged it before we came. I bought a BMW 330e from BMW of Monterey, CA in October of 2025. I had such a great experience. This is after nearly buying from Mercedes of Walnut Creek who added costs to the final price. Or BMW of Mountain View, where they tell you must give them a 9 or 10 out of 10 for their ratings, and hound us with sales emails. Conversely, Joseph at BMW of Monterey was very respectful of our time, and never gave us a sales pitch. He did not add any costs to the price. The vibe at BMW of Monterey is one of teamwork and customer first, Sales people don't fight to claim you as their customer once you walk in the door. It was a huge relief to work with Joseph and his dealership. I am very happy I went bought my car at BMW of Monterey.

Broken promises and incompetence... At every level. We saw a car online and called them to ask if…read morethe car was available and ready, we were ready to buy and we didn't even want to negotiate the price, so the whole process should have been done quickly. I also had a pre-approved loan for the total in-hand and ready to go before we walked in. We got trapped in the dealership for a total of 4 hours, they made us sit in the lobby for over 30 minutes waiting for nothing before any paperwork showed up. Something that should have prepared while we were making our way over. After telling us how much they appreciate the service of our military members, they then let us know that they will not accept checks from Navy Federal Credit Union. We were forced to go with one of their lenders, even though I already had the check in-hand. That would have been nice to know before I already spent an hour in-store! So I had to take an extra hit on my Credit when really I should have just walked out. Luckily my credit score is high enough to take it. We sat for an hour waiting for them to find a loan for us, and we got a lot of rejection letters only because we ALREADY HAD THE DANG CHECK FROM MY BANK so of course new lenders aren't going to want to accept to give a second loan to someone! Whatever, we had already been there for so long, I was not leaving without this car at this point. We then sat there for another 90 minutes while they "finished the paperwork..." but didn't give us any idea of how long that would take so we could have used that time to do something other than sit there and do nothing! (This is hour 3 of trying to entertain our kiddo while we wait by the way). After that 90 minutes we went into some other guy's office and re-hashed all of the information from the past few hours all from scratch. It should have been an email or that other guy should have been present the whole time! He was just walking around the store we saw him several times just strolling! At the end of the transaction when everything finally went through, Walid, the salesman, said we would have to wait another 30 minutes for the car to be detailed. WHY in the last 4 hours was the car was not cleaned?!?!?!? Crazy. After we walked out we discovered that one of the two keys had a dead battery. I asked Walid if he could help get us a new key battery and he said he would "look into it." Fine. I waited a month and then emailed him about it, and he replied over two weeks later saying that he would ask the parts department if they had a key battery for us. It has now been six months and we haven't heard from Walid or BMW at all! All of their claims about caring about their customers are false. They got their money and now they have no interest in continuing to provide service, even after they say they will.

The finance people don't want to do their jobs after you've bought the car and realized how much you got scammed. Instead of simply answering your questions in a timely manner, they let your emails go unanswered for multiple days, leading into weeks. Then when you call for answers, they have attitude and interrupt you. I'm talking about Erik in particular but I've had nothing but terrible experiences here, from sales, to service, to finance, and am so glad to have moved closer to a different Toyota dealership, even though I'll be trading this overpriced POS in for a much better, yet cheaper, car. Trust me, it's way worth to drive somewhere else instead of going to these lying, sexist, lazy people.

*I wrote to long of a review so AI was used to pair it down. I have a detailed 3 page…read morereview/timeline* Two experiences -- and a two-month follow-up ordeal -- sealed my decision to never return. JANUARY - OIL CHANGE: I had an appointment and waited 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged me, while a manager sat visible in his office. After a delayed check-in, I was told it would take about an hour. Two hours in, my truck hadn't moved -- everyone had gone to lunch without telling me. I finally got it back 3 1/2 hours after my appointment. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and didn't write a review. FEBRUARY - TRUCK WOULDN'T START: AAA towed it in for a ~10 AM slot. By noon the mechanic had just pulled it in. Diagnosis came end of day; no one could get the part. Communication was like pulling teeth -- texts went unanswered, calls unreturned. Jason, seemingly the only service advisor, was always upbeat when he did answer. He's clearly overworked, and I genuinely appreciate him. The cause: a fried receiver box from a known, widespread rear glass leak. An extended warranty exists for '19-'21 Rams -- mine didn't qualify. Fine. But the warranty department took until Friday to deny a claim I'd called about on Monday. When the truck was ready, I waited 5+ hours for a shuttle that was supposed to come "within the hour." The truck was returned in an awful state, see pictures. Everything on the floor was pulled from under the seat, tossed around, and walked on. Then their key programmer broke, so I had to return Monday for my second key. THE FOLLOW-UP (February-April): Two months of unreturned calls and unanswered messages just to get a second key programmed. In March they told me my previously working fob was now broken -- their problem, not mine. By April, management offered a 60/40 split on both the sprayers and the key. Hard pass. I came in with two working key fobs. On April 15th I finally reached the Service Manager, Carlos, who was unaware of my case but resolved it quickly. The 16th was the first time I've ever seen two employees at the front desk. Bryan greeted me immediately, Carlos (the new manager) came out personally, and I left with two working fobs in 39 minutes. That visit alone would be 5 stars. FINAL NOTE: Rather than pay ~$300 for the sprayers, I pulled the hood liner myself. A hose had simply come off -- also during a prior dealership visit that had already destroyed most of the liner. My sprayers work fine now. I hope Carlos runs a tighter ship. I won't be back to find out, and I wouldn't recommend you find out either.
