A Ferris Bueller's Day Off Experience
A Ferris Bueller's Day Off Experience. The BM Centre clearly know their way around a BMW mechanically. However, after leaving my car with them for a major service, when it was time to collect it, I was notified that it required a new MAF sensor and one would need to be ordered from Sytner for Monday morning so I left the car with them over the weekend so they could sort the MAF as soon as it arrived; big mistake. When I delivered the car for the service (E46 330ci Sport Convertible) it was totally clean with a near full tank of petrol. When I collected it I noticed that the car was covered in sandy rain blotches and wheel arch mud splatter, light tree debris on the roof, heavy brake dust coating the wheels and slightly over a quarter of a tank of fuel used; they also reset the mileometer to zero, which I never do between fill-ups and when I went to wash it the following day I found a paint star blister the size of a 50p coin on the top section of the rear bumper with a distortion bump in the underlying plastic below it, and the bumper is now slightly loose, so it had clearly been reversed into something or visa versa. So yes, they know what to do with a BMW spanner but unfortunately cannot be trusted to look after your pride and joy believing instead that they can do what they like with it. Just because it was left in their charge over a weekend, does not give them the right to wrag it around for personal use. My bill from them was over £900, and now I have to pay a body-shop another £350 to fix their damage. One has to wonder, If you cannot trust them to look after your property, can you trust that all of the work was done correctly if at all?
