My husband & I have purchased 13 BMWs over the last 25yrs under different Colchester ownerships I have got to say the current ownership does not offer the same personal level of service that we always experienced when we went there mid May 2026 we were completely disappointed we were told to go round the back of showroom where a range of different cars were for sale with BMWs amongst them A salesperson took our details in a waiting area we were ready to make another purchase of a car that was 5 weeks ago we haven’t had a call since just poor customer service We definitely won’t be giving our time or money to Group1 Colchester again

First BMW service experience. I chose to go with the official representatives rather than local garage. I received a warm Welcome at reception, immediately offered a drink and told to wait for a short period. Thereafter was introduced to my hand over assistant, Helen Smith. Helen quickly identified my lack of knowledge and patiently explained what to expect when getting a service by BMW directly. I appreciated her calls throughout the day to update me on service and MOT progress. I'd like to thank her, receptionists, engineers, valet professionals for being flexible and accommodating towards my family.

I have given five stars, due to the level of service and professionalism, given by Amy. I have used this dealership for years and Amy has always been polite, friendly, helpful, great at communicating and always willing to assist with any queries. Amy is an asset to the dealership and I hope her manager takes note and the time to bare this in mind. Great customer service goes a long way!
