Review: Calgary BMW - Jesse Farhat

[InRich]

I just wanted to post a quick review, as I was just at calgary BMW getting my rims switched over from summers to winters, and since they'll change em for 40 bucks, you can't go wrong but to take em there every season...

So my car was booked in for 1:30, the last time I had my car serviced at calgary BMW, with a booking, it took them almost 2 hours before they even took my car into the shop, which, for someone like me who sits in their show room during the entire process is just plain disrespectful. If I have an appointment at 1;30, I expect them to take my car in around that time, not 2 hours later, I sat there for 4 hours like an idiot last time. and, they didn't even do anything to make up for it either, which pissed me off even more.

It was alot different this time. I came in, and the shop was just swamped. I couldn't even park my car indoors, cause it was so over crowded. As I pulled up Jesse literally ran out and apologized for the inconvenience, and asked if I could just bare with em and park my car outside, and that he would attend to me asap. so I did.

I walked in, and Jesse took me on immediately. told me, that my car would be taken in promptly and that he would phone me when it was done. That was exactly what happened this time, car was taken in within 7 minutes of me arriving and done relatively quickly.

There were issue's with my car, Jesse explained everything to me, I had to have a tire replaced, and my car needed balancing. course... me being me, I kinda lost it on him, why this wasn't covered under warranty etc, I was giving him a rather hard time about it too. he kept calm and told me to sit tight, and started running around the entire shop.

When he came back after about 10 - 15 minutes later, told me he felt sorry for me that I needed to have the car balanced, so he told me that BMW would be happy to cover it this time around ($370). ok great.

I just wanted to write this review cause I felt like this guy truly went out of his way to satisfy me, he even gave me a free bottle of rim cleaner because of the shit that happened the last time I was in there as a thank-you for coming back. (best rim cleaner ever btw)

If you need to have your car serviced, or just need some good decent quotes on repair, give this guy a call, he'll take care of you.

10/10 dude, good job, u made my Rolodex.

Its when you have a really fat driver, they add weights to the passenger side so the car drives straight. Common on Kia's.

[roll_over]

Oh, because that much for tire balancing is just outrageous

[Willie Bobo]

I couldn't imagine being a service writer for BMW. This brand has to have the highest percentage of entitled, douchebag customers of any manufacturer out there.

Coles Note:

- Inrich was an asshole
- They appeased him with a free service they mark up by 300% over industry standard

[CanmoreOrLess]

Why would any of that be covered by warranty? Looks to be normal wear. What's German for "pound sand"?

you take the bus for $2.75 right?

maybe when you step up to a 100k+ car that's still under warranty, purchased with all the extra service packages, and it's constantly in need of re-alignments you'll understand.... mmmk. now take your shit else where.

This is the 2nd time it's needed a re-alignment in the 3 years I've owned it. and I treat my cars like gold, never ever hit anything with it, or curb'ed it. its frustrating, to me anyways.

All i'm saying is it was nice of them to cover it, even though they didn't need to.

According to your Beyond neighbor, you drive pretty hard. You dont need to hit something to get your wheels mis-aligned, when constantly taking corners hard.

Where to even begin? There's so much wrong with this that I won't even comment so as not to be disrespectful. But I can't resist with the last comment:

Didn't read all comments in the thread but... $370 for an alignment / balancing ?? What the fuuuq? BMW gets away with that???


I just paid $110 at Precision and they did an awesome, awesome fucking job specifically meeting my JDM specs. In and out within an hour. :dunno:

$370 for an alignment!

[7thgenvic]

Well this thread officially killed 5 minutes of my morning coffee..


I somewhat agree with InRich.. Sometimes you have to act like an official douchebag to get things done at that dealership.

According to Jeremy Clarkson, they're all moving over to Audi.

Awaiting InRich's "Just bought a $100K Audi" thread.


This whole thread is full of win. I think I laughed at each post one after the other. Thanks.

More than you can afford pal, BMW

[Hallowed_point]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why anyone would spend 100 K + for a BMW..is that just a total exaggeration or did you tick off every box on the options just to be able to tell people how much you spent?

Gotta max out the HELOC somehow, might as well do it in one stop

[ExtraSlow]

Some people are proud of how much they spend, and some people are proud of how much they save.

LoL. I think you guys forgot he owns a business. Probably leases his car for deductions as well as the benefit of no taxable gain/loss upon disposition of the car when the term is up.

[austic]

InRich: I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

Veronica Corningstone: Really.

InRich: People know me on beyond.

Veronica Corningstone: Well, I'm very happy for you.

InRich: I'm very important. I have a 100K BMW and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

That or it's "rented".

LOL at people that drive $100k cars and think they are entitled to everything. Take your fist out of your butt.

[JRSC00LUDE]

Come on guys, cut him some slack.

I don't know how any of you expect people to know how successful and important you are if you don't make sure to tell them. :dunno:

And why shouldn't you get preferential treatment if you're the only guy at the dealership who bought an "M" version ? Why the fuck should you have to wait when they're busy? Or pay for a service?

Get real. Peasant losers.

[Blue]

InRich youre my hero.. no joke.

Options sure add up! I know my 135i was $59500ish all in when the original owner bought it, it has every package/option except iDrive and an automatic transmission. And that's for supposedly one of BMWs cheapest models to buy. It had around $13-15k of options added on from the base 135i.

I am glad I did not buy new, and likely won't buy a brand new car ever, the depreciation is nuts!

You have no idea what you are talking about. I paid for my own car and my car is completely different from my parents. My mom has a 2010 she purchased new, I have a 2008 I purchased used with no help from my parents, and no I did not pay cash, I financed.

I take my car into Calgary BMW for alignment all the time and they charge me $165 for a 4-wheel alignment. Not sure how they would charge you $370 or does the alignment cost differ based on model?

Anywho, as a previous poster here had said, please dont categorize all of us BMW drivers with Rich, clearly he's a different level of class that only us regular BMW folks can aspire to :rofl:

No... all douches, but on a scale of 1 to 10, InRich cranks it to 11.


Enough with the HELOC jokes guys, InRich bought his *gasp* half a million dollar (http://forums.beyond.ca/st2/cardel-construction-new-home-rant/showthread.php?s=&postid=3115849&highlight=half+million+dollars#post3115849) house in 2010... he clearly doesn't have the equity there to HELOC 2 $100k cars. (and if he did, he'd be a chump to pay $200k into a sub 3% mtg and HELOC it back out).

I had the opportunity to work with/around some of the wealthiest people in Alberta and all i can say is the ones who have REAL money dont say a word about it. They dont need to. The ones who finance a $100,000.00 car to go tell everyone about it are the patented Calgary "30K Millionare". Leveraged to the tits but god I look rich. Holt Renfrew credit card cowboys... The wealthiest people i know wouldnt be caught dead wearing a gucci belt buckle or wearing Louis V prints. They rock the "subtle" fuck you products... pair of wrangler jeans and a basic button up with a $50,000 watch. I get a kick out of the guys who boast about what they drive to elevate themselves to a prestigious class structure. You may think youre at the party bro, but youre on the outside looking in through the window...:thumbsup:

I don't understand why people get upset over other peoples finances.
The vast majority of rich Canadians put in time and effort to get to where they are.

Who cares how he spends his money.

The guy was posting a review and suddenly we're talking about home prices and HELOC's???

...and BMW owners are not assholes either.
