  • "All staff were very friendly."

Cons:

  • "Terrible experience. I booked my M2 for MOT via online got it confirmed a day before by email & SMS. Got to the showroom no staff available so I had to use the kiosk to drop my key."
  • "Very poor appointment process. I was given the wrong information on the type of loan car and the wrong information on cost of the work."

Facilities and Processes

  • "The service at the front desk was very good, with no waiting and a polite but pleasant greeting."
  • "The new showroom and workshop is a major improvement to the facilities."

Cons:

  • "All fine except vehicle not washed 'due to covid' which I didn't understand."
  • "Location now appalling. Customer service level has gone from an 8 or 9 to a 1 since the location move."
  • "Whereas the work was carried out satisfactorily, it took 2 hours longer than I was advised and the car was not ready for collection when I was advised it would be ready."
  • "This was my first experience of the new Barons location and of visiting during the pandemic. I didn't like it much!"
  • "With the exception of the front door receptionist, Service Desk unfriendly."

Cost and Pricing

Pros:

  • "A big thank you to Group 1 Hindhead BMW for their truly outstanding customer service!"

Cons:

  • "Only complaint is a £15 charge for ‘insurance’ for a loan car. This is not credible. £5,475 per year? Just be honest and say it’s an admin charge for the loan of the car or better still don’t charge."
  • "I had to either leave my car there and have the work done at my cost or drive the car away with the warning light on."
  • "Hugely expensive 750 pounds for a standard service on a 4 Series do not answer phone calls took six attempts to get through Also very unhelpful when it came to an issue with a BMW electric bike would not recommend."
  • "I get presented with a bill for £175 instead of the £95 I was quoted."
  • "They charged me a whopping £175. Definitely wouldn't go there again, OR buy a BMW!"
  • "Purchased a car with complimentary Auto glym care and Wheel seal.. this is a lie as they charge you for it after and do nothing about it."
  • "My car needs a new tyre and was quoted £204 by Baron's, but National Tyres can do the exact same tyre for £125! Come on main dealers we are not all stupid!"
