I just want to say how incredible the staff are here, Neil in Sales was brilliant and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. He brought three different cars over from their yard for us to view, we ended up buying a beautiful red X1 which I am in love with. Everything was dealt with quickly and we picked it up the following Saturday, they had the car sat in the showroom ready for us to collect and it just made it so much more special. My Husband has never had a new car so for him it was completely foreign and he loved it. Thank you for everything and truly being the easiest purchase we’ve ever made

Disappointing - took my car in for a recall on the airbag. I know that other customers have been given a complementary valet for the inconvenience and to acknowledge that we’ve been driving with an airbag that’s potentially lethal. I wasn’t given a valet, so just wouldn’t expect consistent service from this garage. On the positive side, the airbag replacement was quick and easy to book in.

Brought an M340 from this dealer, assisted the whole way by Chris. Safe to say what an excellent service that he provided and really recommend that you do business with them.

Absolutely fantastic from from start to finish. Dealt with Chris Wilson, who is honestly the nicest and most accommodating (without being pushy in any way) car sales person I have ever dealt with. When I got the car home I noticed a defect in the paint. Chris arranged collection and repair within a week. The courtesy car was delivered by Paul, who is another huge asset to BMW. Paul also went out of his way to deliver my car back to be on Friday evening rather than the scheduled Monday ETA, so that I would have it for the weekend! The car itself (BM3 X3 M50 XDrive) is incredible. Group 1 Colchester will have my future business!

Brake fluid service at a very competitive price. Bobby ensured the work in its entirety was completed in line with my own requirements timeline wise. Excellent.

The customer service at this dealership is truly exceptional. This is my local BMW and they are always attentive and take time and care when dealing with customers unlike other BMW garages. In particular Amy who usually deals with my services and queries, Connor and Reece who helped me today with some parts and topping up my coolant, and Neil from sales who took his time dealing with me when I was in the market for a car. All of them plus the receptionists take time and they actually care about their customer service. Connor came and checked a problem for me and managed to help me straight away, without having to wait and get it booked in. Most other dealerships would’ve had me waiting for an appointment to get it booked in. After having a dreadful experience when buying a car from Stratstone BMW Milton Keynes, I’m glad that I’m local to a proper dealership that cares about their customers.
