Bill DeFouw BMW went above and beyond to assist us

Our experience with Bill DeFouw BMW has been incredible. We had a unique situation with one of our purchases so we ended up working directly with Matt Martin and Grant Gernhart (in additional to Roger Salazar who is our sales agent). The entire experience was beyond our expectations. They worked tirelessly to ensure we were satisfied with every aspect of the situation. I would recommend Bill DeFouw BMW to anyone interested in buying a car. We have been buying our BMW's there for 20 years and we will continue to do so, regardless of where we live. They are the best!

Choose Your Salesperson Wisely

Our experience with Dan Landes is why I can only rate the CS at 2 stars. Dan attempted to sell the vehicle we wanted, knowing we were coming in the next morning to purchase the same vehicle. I told him we wanted to work with Joe Atkinson, since Joe had been with us since the beginning, but we'd be in the next morning. No mention was made of putting a deposit down to hold the van. Dan wrote up the sale for the other person after our discussion. The only reason we were able to buy the van, is because the other buyer had poor credit and Joe kept working with us.

Nice dealership, people were friendly from salesman to finance department. Facility was clean and with COVID it was a very safe place my wife and I felt. Would recommend to friends

DeFouw = a circus of a BMW Dealership

The most unprofessional experience ever in tying to buy a car!!! No words can describe this circus of a BMW car dealer. Save yourself the hassle and shop elsewhere.
