Easy to book Knowledgable and well mannered staff Work completed on time Excellent waiting area with refreshments
Very courteous and professional.
Still waiting for someone to contact me re damage to paintwork to inside bumperwhich i found to be present from the 1st time I washed the vehichle 2 weeks after i took delivery
The car was returned in perfect condition but took a little long at the end.
Was dealt with today by one of the experienced service advisers who's knowledge and organisation of the repairs etc made it a smooth experience
All was done efficiently and in a friendly manner and just within the time allocated.
My car only went in for its first service. The experience was what I would expect from a premium car centre,and nothing else. Always happy with the experience at Bowker. This is the reason why I travel to them when I live in Cumbria.
Major service; valeted in 3 hours.
Jack Wilson did his very best to resolve the problem I had with my connected music after my car had been in for a recall (which I have now lost) I now understand the problem
There was a mix up with the appointment date , when the date was changed It was not updated on the system. after being told that I couldn't have the required date the team eventually sorted things out and the required date was achieved
Just the arrival and return delays
I trust that all necessary checks were carried out by your engineers
STRAIGHTFORWARD AND QUICK
Everything was done efficiently and with minimum fuss.
He clearly explained what was needed, how long it would take then did it.
Waited 9 hrs. for the replacement of one rear spring.
No delays, and all as agreed in advance. Polite staff.
The level of attention to both the car and myself were of a very high standard
Service was completed in the advised time, service report was fully explained and the price was lower than quoted.
Not heard anything and the car has been in nearly 4 weeks
Everything was good as free recall.
Polite, helpful was offered coffee and was kept informed!
Ok however you gave my key back to me with it reporting battery needs changing. Would like to think you would of replaced this for me
I am satisfied with all aspects of the dealership other than the coffee which is a bit sub standard. I have purchased 7 vehicles over the years from Kinders of Ashton to Bowker so doesn't that tell you something ?
work carried out on time and to expectation. Car was returned fully valeted which is always a nice touch
The work was carried out within the time specified and to a very high standard.
I booked a fast lane service as there was no option for my car to be collected. The service took 2 hours and fifteen minutes meaning I was late for a work appointment.
All done to a high standard but screenwash was identified as an issue and wasn't topped up despite me being on a service plan. When I pointed this out, however I was offered to bring it back whenever I wanted to have it filled up for free.
I was a bit disappointed about the amount of work needed for an MOT and service with gearbox work and engine cover work needed on a low mileage car. Also I am unsure why my MOT was £54.85 when my husband had his MOT the week after and it was £39.99?
Full explanation as to what was done and what needs doing in the future with regard to the amber readings.
After three visits the rattles have just about been fixed. I booked a loan car an X1. I was considering the car for my wife. When I got to the dealership despite all the notes saying to have an x1 available they gave me a 3 series. I was not happy
Job completed car returned on time clean and tidy
The technician support was great! However seemed to be an annoyance rather than a customer, things were / seemed rushed. VHC app is a great idea, if explained by the service representative to expect it and actually complete the authorised work.
The service was great and everybody I dealt with was friendly and polite
Kept informed at every stage; appointment reminder; other jobs done whilst ordering & delivering spare parts; provisional quote for cost of work; wash & valet; phone always answered; lively staff
Pleased with the check and the clean state of car on collection - but no PIN has been provided to access follow up data!!
I've had 4 BMW's over a period of 12 years and have never experienced any issues with either the vehicle or the service. This time though when booking the car in and being told it would be ready by 4pm, I didn't drive away until nearly 6pm!
The matter is now resolved at a local level. I have been provided with a refund for additional work undertaken at M.O.T. and Major Service for which prior agreement to go ahead had not been made.
Waited to long to be seen
Great to have my car collected and dropped of the same day, thanks Carl great service.
The MOT took longer than the 90 minutes promised, then the car wash broke and I was offered to wait another 30 minutes, but I had already been at BMW for two hours. The final problem was my drivers floor mat had been removed and needed collecting.
Bowker preston listened to my concerns and delt with them in a professional and timely manner.
Well organised with new car sales as combined with a test drive of a new car
Courtesy car with empty fuel tank, confusion with another customer with same surname. No discussion on monthly schemes to prepay services as arranged prior. Advised unnecessary brake renewal.
vehicle was ready earlier than previously advised it would be and work completed to satisfaction.
Everything went to plan. Timings. Surroundings comfortable to work in during service.
Very helpful and friendly team. Excellent knowledge, and kept me updated on the progress with my car. The centre takes good care of you during the 3-4 hours wait. Excellent facilities for customers - comfortable seats, TV, USB points and coffee
I have always had first class service from all departments at Bowker. My most recent service experience related to the EGR cooler re-call. This was dealt with brilliantly and the car was given a wash and vacuum too. Good back-up leads to future sales
Slightly long than expected wait time especially the valeting service
Good service from start to finish
You supposedly replaced the sensor and in the afternoon after picking up car it happened again.You took the paperwork evidence of what you had done from me and said you would put in post ! I have no evidence of what you have done.
Reluctant customer service.
Everybody helpful all done quickly and updated on progress. Car gets a good clean as well.
Brilliant place,people friendly and helpful
The M.O.T. took much longer than anticipated but I did obtain an explanation and an acceptable discount for the delay.
customer service is good however i would apreciate a phone call when my car was ready to pick up.
Standard of customer service
Everything was fine and finished in the time stated.
Poor service. The car was booked in for a known fault and we were told it would make 1 day. Only when I rang at 17:00 was I told it would not be ready. It was very inconvenient not having a car and we ended up not having it for 3 days.
Everything completed on time rung as soon as service completed discounts offered and given promise of further work to be looked at soon as is necessary
Prompt Efficient Pleasant
Everything was explained to us clearly what work was going to be carried out and the car was returned to us on time and was also nicely cleaned for us
Quick, thorough and friendly
Service time ran late, staff apologised, and customer service gave me a discount, very helpful and thoughtful
My latest experience is very disappointing. A week after being advised a spare part would be in 'tomorrow' and asking for contact details of the after sales manager to discuss an issue under guarantee, nothing has happened.
Everthing was done for us that could have been done.
the service as in car work was good, the experience in the waiting aerea was poor. On arrival was called BUD, my name is not bud, was a bad start.
Very professional and speedy service. Knowledgeable staff who explain the procedure being taken out on your vehicle.
Disappointed that my vehicle check report was not provided and ? if even undertaken
Attitude/service I received on collecting my vehicle was substantially under par - I am in direct contact with Bowkers on this
Long wait to collect the car. This must happen every day at peak times. Surely some staff management at these times would alleviate the problem.
One of the faults notified was not fixed and car will need to go back in, also another fault has now appeared since the work. Finally, for a service with other dealers you get a report on the car with tread depths etc., all I received was an invoice.
They go the extra mile to keep the customer happy
Automatic courtesy car made available. Almost new X1, our vehicle ready on time and queries dealt with.
Efficient staff and very helpful
Staff at Bowker Preston were friendly and professional. Definitely would go back soon.
100% great, lovely reception, attention from staff professional and courteous yet personal
mostly ok, tried to replace parts that weren't broken for £270
Well informed about the service and cost ! Kept updated at all time
Had to wait nearly 30 mins for a 90 min fast service
The car went in for a major service under the service pack. Everything was done on time without hassle and the car was valeted before collection. The courtesy car was good. Couldn't really ask for more.
Been taking my old bmw to Bowker for over 10 year i always get good service
It's the first time I've used Bowker having used Bateman Lakeland BMW for the past 18yrs. I was happy that the service still had a personal touch.
Staff excellent couldn't be more obliging
Very happy with the service provided
The experience was great and importantly the price was competitive.
the survey says it all completely satisfied
Helpful staff Test drive on new z4 Well explained
Good service, friendly staff
Did a full health check even though I went in with only a query regarding the thermostat.
All my questions were answered quickly and I was made to feel special which was genuine.
Completed in accordance with booking dialogue.
Smooth service (and MOT) - courtesy car was fine and service completed on time.
Car came back clean,and I have a service pack so I don't need to pay for servicing,which nobody likes to do,especially when 3 cars needed doing this month.
Everyone we came into contact with was helpful and pleasant.
happy with the service although still a bit on the expensive side
Staff are helpful and polite
On this occasion very little work required. Initially was expecting to do brake discs after previous years warning, after a mixed message saying needed discs & pads. Then told neither needed. So have had some minor communication problems
The car was serviced and cleaned (the screen inside wasn't which was a surprise). The report you now provide after the service with a RAG status is very useful and a great idea.
They completed the service as stated and also carried out ancillary safety checks to ensure the perfect performance of my car
One telephone call to Bowker Preston to discuss problem with car hesitating at low revs. Car booked in, loan car arranged and car repaired in one day and also a full VHC report completed.
As per first question, Sue listened to our needs ( and wants) and delivered! Sue made the whole process very easy, she was good fun as well, thank you sue .
The experience was somewhat rushed in order to help the Dealer quarterly sales. at the end of July. Already make comments to the Sales team.
I enjoyed my visit. The coffee was great.
Good from start to finish
Alison really listened to our brief. She made the transaction very straightforward. She handled us well and when the BMW system did not permit us to complete the sale, she skilfully kept us 'on side'. We are delighted with the outcome.
Completely satisfied Joel who we dealt with at Bowker was excellent to deal with
Explained every detail throughly
As above everyone very helpful and friendly
Well treated by knowledgeable staff who were eager to help and delivered good advice and couldn't do enough to help me make the right decision with good opportunities for test drives provided
Tom Aitkenhead was excellent throughout
Very professional and courteous service.
The handover was great. My car was waiting in a private area, all controls shown and explained. Joel even came out with me for a short drive as I have not had an automatic before.
All happened within a week. The documents were all set very quickly and the car was ready for me to collect on the date and time I wanted it.
Loved the car and the passion for the cars from the sales team made it an easy choice
Tom Aitkenhead was especially attentive to our needs. His manner was professional and yet reassuring that the purchase we were making was suitable to our needs.
Nothing was too much trouble with all questions and queries dealt with efficiently.
The salesman Simon Dickason was excellent. He was helpful, knowledgable and very patient with me.
Old x5 had a fault for 2 years that could not be fixed, new x5 was faulty when collected. This is a product problem not the fault of the centre.
Plenty of stock to understand models and options. Well explained. Final finish on the car left a few streaks and micro scratches but team were quick to pro-actively address when spotted.
