Losing confidence in local dealer

Rick Hill BMW....Kingsport, TN
Right front wheel repair x 2 - still feels rough and oversprayed
Right rear wheel flat, tire replaced - dealer scratched wheel and repaired it with same unsatisfactory result. Lots of overspray on wheel ans clearcoat just not right. Car returned with dirt on seat and armrest every time. I suggested they put plastic cover over seat and paper mat on floor like the General Motors dealership, and they about laughed me out of the building. I guess i will have to go to Asheville or Knoxville for service. Any thoughts?

Hate to tell you this but almost everyone on this board hates going to the dealerships. I am one of those and it is very rarely that I go to a dealership and don't feel like they are trying to pull one on me. I went in to have light bulb work done, waited an hour and a half on them to fix an angel eye and came out got in my car and the damn warning light was still on. This was after I had brought it in a previous time for the same thing and they had to order "new sockets", turns out the second time when I was in they didn't replace my sockets and that was the problem.

I suggest you loose the confidence completely so that you don't get disappointed in the future... I also suggest you become less obsessive about the car... I have been and know how you feel but unless you learn to let little things go that car is going to be more of a head ache than an enjoyment.

I hate going there, everytime I pick up my car grease monkey gets his finger prints in my car. Beige interior. Last time there was a water dried drip stain on my start button that dripped all the way down to my floor. Who are these mechanics?

My dealership in Austin, Texas on McNiel Drive is pretty awesome.

my service advisor is cool as shit also. I have a feeling that some of you guys who hate dealerships are probably dicks when you enter

Me and my service advisor are on a personal level. I ask about his family and he asks about mine and takes care of me with no questions asked. My car is obviously slammed and can't be lifted on a regular lift and he makes sure his guys use floor jacks to lift my car when their doing work and he also doesn't mind my mods
