Really cannot speak highly enough of Berry Thames Ditton and the salesperson, Rod, who went the extra mile to get the best deal possible. I've visited four other dealerships looking for the right car and value. Professional, friendly and most of all, I did not feel under pressure. Thank you so much

Great Experience with dealer

I purchased my BMW M135i from Berry Thames Ditton BMW.

I enquired through the BMW website and very quickly heard back from Jonathan Davison who made me a video and put together a couple quotes for me. I received a phone call advising me that someone else was interested in purchasing the vehicle but, he wanted to ask me what I wanted to do first as I enquired first which i appreciate very much! I went ahead and bought the vehicle and travelled all the way down from Scotland to collect. What a stunning vehicle, didn’t notice until I got home that the locking wheel nut was missing however, it was quickly rectified and a new one was ordered, wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for Jonathan.

Great service overall!

Every contact with Berry Thames Ditton…

Every contact with Berry Thames Ditton Mini was painful, disorganised, unnecessary and difficult. From the original sales meeting which was on the back of an ‘offer’ weekend where there were no offers. To the handover at the wrong time with the wrong people and the wrong information. Everything including the final spec, drive away insurance and the after care. All really bad. Would recommend avoiding using Berry at all costs since they are just very very poor at looking after the customer.

Highly recommended used car purchase.

I recently bought a used car from this dealership. I can’t speak for the others, but James Hunter was amazing. He was not pushy in the slightest and made the process or part exchanging/ buying really stress free. Brilliant aftercare service as well with any questions I had on the car.

From my personal experience, I would highly recommend buying from this dealership and if you get James, you’ve done well.

Avoid - they haven’t a clue

Booked car in to get a fault diagnosed. £150 they said to diagnose. By the end of the day they had the car the (unauthorised) bill had reached £1000 and the car still wasn’t fixed. This included tyre and brake checks I hadn’t asked for as well as various parts replaced that didn’t fix the fault. Nobody called to discuss until after the bill had been incurred. Summary: the much-advertised genius diagnostics don’t work, they ignore the customer but ratchet up your bill whilst they guess what the fault might be. And then they tell you to collect it and let them know if the problem has actually been fixed. Can’t decide if cowboys or gangsters. Either ways, not going there again.

Expectation of a softer approach

I called today to book my car in for a service and MOT . Have previously used your services which I found very professional. My first call today, I spoke to a gentleman named Michael, who appeared very helpful, unfortunately the call was cut off.I phoned straight back, this time a female answered, I found her manner not at all customer friendly. Very very direct, no simple apology for being cut off.

Bought used car from here

Bought used car from here. Great experience. Very knowledgeable salesman, James. Not pushy at all, felt very at ease with him telling us all about the car and the part exchange. Would definitely recommend using Berry Thames Ditton

The absolute worst service

In 30 years of car ownership this 'dealership' ranks as one, if not, the worst i have experienced. The whole customer journey was diabolical. Communication was dire, with me chasing constantly, if any beggar answered the phone. I was lucky if 20% of calls were actually answered let alone being able to speak to anyone who could help. Don't bother with emails; never responded to or even read. Collection dates moved several times due to 'workshop issues' and it took nearly a month to get the car. When it was collected it was in a right state. It was covered in swirls and these morons had ceramic coated over them along with numerous scratches and polish residue! One of the doors had been repainted by Berry's and it's shocking - completely orange peeled. I viewed the car inside and failed to see the poor paintwork due to the light conditions. Clearly this was not an accident by the salesman. I, stupidly, trusted that a main dealer would not operate in this way - how wrong was I. It's going to cost a packet to get the paint corrected. My fault for not having it moved outside. The inside was dirty and it was clear their valet service was the equivalent of £5 back street car wash. I spent £50k cash and got Poundland service. These cowboys make the appalling JLR service look good, and i never thought I'd see that. Edit - 3 months after accepting my part ex i get a letter stating these useless lazy lot have not even bothered to notify DVLA of it. These lot really are a complete joke!

Poor Service

I don't think they understand what service means.

Multiple problems over the space of 2 years, we have decided to go elsewhere and we'll never buy another BMW again.

Examples Of The Problems.

1. Car booked-in to fix an oil leak so parts had to be ordered up - we took the car in and found out at the end of the day the parts hadn't been ordered! so the car had to go back in again. Originally the staff member blamed a faulty new part but one of the other staff members let it slip the part hadn't been ordered.

2. Booked the car in for a services over the phone only to receive an en email 5 days later telling us "we are unable to fulfil this due to a high volume of requests for this date" mistakes happen but we've had this problem before.

3. Picked up the car from a service to find the adblue light on - did they really do a service ?

4. Also had problems with staff calling back.

Poor, shoddy service. Stay clear to avoid disappointment.

Poor work & Customer Service

Poor work carried out in Bodyshop
Unable to provide consistent valuation on car when bring asked for a value to sell back to them. Then stated that had provided a evaluation on vehicle, not a value that would buy back. Generally patronising in explaining to customers. Poor at responding to call backs.

The worst BMW customer service in London

The worst customer service I have ever experienced!
I had a no fault accident and the car was allocated to this branch for service, It took so long, they never contacted even once during the works and I had to chase them several times. But the worst was that they said it's ready, I went there on Saturday and after over an hour of wait, I was too the car is not cleaned! So I had to take the morning off today to go again, and this time I realised they had damaged the little back light!
They were not even apologetic, but very rude, and the manager called Chuch treated me as if I was lying! The car was still dirty, and when I asked, they said we don't do a valet, only in and out! But the inside is full of dust! Obviously they haven't cleaned inside at all! And now I have to go back AGAIN for the light they damaged!

Avoid this place as It's the worst BMW branch you can get!
