Good efficient and professional
Competitive pricing when compared with independent specialist, and although I have dealerships much closer to my home address I have always found bowker to be a nice easy experience, professional, friendly helpful staff, with work carried out swiftly
The staff are knowledgeable,courteous and efficient .
took a little longer than I was told as no one took over from my service contact when he went on lunch break but still very good service.
Job and faults done quickly
Price is always a big factor for me. I look for value for money
Very quick service with the representative having ab excellent knowledge.
A very good job was done very happy
Service has always been good. Only reason why only 4/5 is that on one occasion the vehicle interior clean had made a streaky mess of both front & rear windscreen. As I left in direct sunlight it showed up particularly bad. Other than that very good.
On collecting my vehicle I was made to wait a long period of time with customers arriving after myself being attended to ahead of me. This was despite advising I wasn't able to wait around as I was due in a business meeting. I just needed to pay.
Eoghan really did a great job making everything happen for us
Bowker have done their best.
Because I booked in weeks in advance and asked for a specific part to be fitted. I confirmed it all in great detail but the Girl in service had ordered me the wrong part. A rear sensor not a front sensor. So the damaged one had to be re fitted.
Problem not resolved but staff and other services are good
Failed to follow up tyre replacement
All work done as promised.
Recently had the M4 in for its first service and it was booked in for 09:00 which was fine as I was told it would take all day, I felt a little annoyed that according to my app it wasn't started till 14:30 and ended up me leaving it over night
Service excellent however car registered in late September, spoke to you as out of country at time to see if ok to be a couple of weeks past date told no problem, looked on I drive service record and says 2 months late a little unhappy.
Delays at reception kept to a minimum, work completed as required and car cleaned before return.
the service has been disgusting and appalling from people not ringing when they said they would even with my car having to be returned 7 times in 6 months I am so disillusioned by the fact it is even BMW
I've never been to Bowker Preston!
Good customer care and advise
Car was collected from & returned to me, at my home. Telephone feedback on the points I highlighted in advance.
No fuss. Friendly and efficient
Bowker care, I've been buying vehicles from Bowker for 25 years & they've never let me down!
Included collection/return of my car, and the car had been (unexpectedly) cleaned.
I had my son with my after school pick up and he was having an autistic meltdown. The service staff were extremely helpful and helped ease the transfer from courtesy car back to my own car and offered to help in any way I needed.
Attention to detail and courtesy nature
Everyone is very courteous. They explain everything clearly and most importantly do what they say they will do. They make you feel like a valued customer
I received a brochure through the post, I have no idea where it came from, it might not have been Preston
The customer is made to feel very welcome and looked after
Had a few issues regarding tyres but overall good
All my expectations were met by a very professional attitude from the service staff.
I have been extremely dissatisfied in the past, phone call to say car is ready to collect then having to wait 40 minutes for it to be washed/cleaned. Completely satisfied on this visit though.
Knowing that the car is in tip top condition.
Very satisfied as I know the job will have been done well
The service desk staff are helpful and friendly. The service technicians did not take sufficient care in their work.
Work completed in good time.
Car in for its first service, came back gleaming!!
I would have given full marks had the service counter opened at the advertised time
I have always been 100% satisfied with the repairs and service requirements carried out on my BMW over the years.
Really friendly and professional service and the credit for this goes to Lee who cold not have been more helpful on the day.
When attending for general maintenance of car the service experience has been satisfactory but trying to book in for any problems possibly where the cost is not retrievable has been met with some reluctance and excuses.
I was told the software would take 1 hour. It took 2.5 hours and was late for business appointment. The software update made no difference to the car so why upgrade.
Great service done at a good price. Great customer service.
Work and staff always good and efficient.
great service and kept informed of progress
I was told that a quotation would be sent either later same day or following morning. At the point receiving this survey (12.02pm) there had been nothing received. Subsequently at 16.15 I received a phone a phone call apologising for no reply.
Service was good but I needed 2 visits on a Saturday and a Tuesday for work to be completed
Fairly easy to.book service and satisfied with the outcomr
They did everything as promised
Service completed in the time as promised
The gentleman who looked after me was friendly and efficient and got my car ready under the estimated time
Everything was completed to my satisfaction
On taking delivery of my BMW, I immediately noticed that one of the tyres was losing pressure. I was too busy to bring it back to your garage, so I topped up the pressure myself. When I returned the car, I was charged for a new tyre -not happy.
No major issues,was informed about potential problem needing looking into.
The installation work I asked to be done was completed very neatly and within the time promised.
Long, unnecessary wait to drop off and pick up.
Car was in for a recall, they were able to sort quickly and arrange transport for me to get to work.
vehicle still has a vibration, not sure whether this was reported as part of the work by Hitachi
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
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
The car was returned in perfect condition but took a little long at the end.
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
Everything was done efficiently and with minimum fuss.
He clearly explained what was needed, how long it would take then did it.
STRAIGHTFORWARD AND QUICK
Waited 9 hrs. for the replacement of one rear spring.
The level of attention to both the car and myself were of a very high standard
No delays, and all as agreed in advance. Polite staff.
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
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
Everything was good as free recall.
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 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.
The work was carried out within the time specified and to a very high standard.
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?
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
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 centre was always welcoming and attentive, from the receptionist, the sales and business team and the BMW Genius right through to collection and post collection to ensure I was completely satisfied with my new car, which I am.
All very easy and smooth.
Very pleasant staff and all went to plan re ordering my new car with the specification that I wanted through to the collection with the help of your genius .
Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Felt a valued customer.
Communication challenging at times. I got the impression that the sales person had limited knowledge. Eager to take my order but slow to respond to questions thereafter.
Sue was attentive, knew everything that was needed and saw the whole process through.
friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff.
Excellent service again, staff very helpful & polite. Explained & walked me through how the vehicle worked inside. Ensured me if any problems or questions to get back in touch.
Cannot think of any to complain about
Brilliant nice place and brilliant staff
Tom Aitkenhead at Bowker Preston made the experience of buying a car the pleasure it should be, he looked after me - answering questions patiently (sometimes multiple times!) and at a level I was happy with
I was totally satisfied with the service.
Kept up to date at all times hassle free.
Alison looked after us extremely well. She tried so hard to get what we were looking for and got there in the end. The whole experience was an enjoyable one, mainly because nothing was too much trouble for her.
Was very happy with the deal and the service I received from Joel who kept me updated throughout
Service excellent. Picked up 2 cars simultaneously. Very professional and easy.
The sales rep understood our needs, our budget and we completed a deal on a higher spec car than I initially wanted for a reasonable price
As always, first class service, this is the third time we have bought from Bowker Preston and will recommend them to anyone.
Bowker BMW Preston are flawless in customer service. They made the collection of the vehicle a special experience and I would recommend Bowker Preston to anyone interested in a BMW.
Only had the car just over a week but so far all great!
Bowker BMW put customers first and despite a few issues with BMW Financial Services, the dealership was fantastic.
Kept in touch all along the way.
The sales aspect, support and the vehicle have all been first class.
The sales representative Alison Prowse contributed enormously to our experience as she was professional, knowledgable and friendly.
Couldn't fault the service.
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 .
