One of the better BMW sales and service centres. Superb staff, genuinely interested, happy in their job and just want to help you. Certainly not pushy in any way and in all these years never been met by anything other than 100 percent honesty. Good coffee too!

In early October I took my car to the centre and I went to check if anything was wrong with my car. They then found alot of problems and the cost was over £1,000 so I decided to take my car to show another provisional mechanic. When I started my car there was smoke everywhere and the gas leaked everywhere so that time, my son was scared that the car might catch fire. so I called them back to tell me what happened with my car and they said they would call me back to discuss and repair my car but unfortunately they never called me back and they have ignored me. Then I took my car to another garage for the repair because they broke something on the engine and it costed me £400 then I decided to not trust them anymore. And I asked for the repair remember? which they said was over £1,000? I asked the garage and they said it would be £500-£800.

The BMW Dealership at Colchester in every aspect really care about the customer and their vehicle and are passionate about the brand. They are an absolute pleasure to deal with, whether its sales or the service team. Members of staff are very personable and attentive. I also appreciate honesty, transparency and straight talking and this is what I have always experienced with BMW Colchester. I'm very OCD with the cars I own and that's why it's important that I have 100% confidence with whom I buy a new/used car or when the vehicle is serviced. I'm sure others will find as I have, the professionalism and courtesy that BMW Colchester extend to all their customers.

My car was given a complimentary clean, when the car was returned it was deeply scratched where they had tried to remove bird poo (bird poo still there). I was told they had taken a video of the car so would be able to see if the scratches were there before, I was then told they had not taken a video of that part of the car. The car washer is good and experienced and did not make the scratches..so good he left the bird poo on the car 🙄, they are not taking responsibility for it nor will the manager speak with me. Terrible company with even worse customer service. AVOID
