I've been living in Western Maryland for about four years and I have visited four BMW dealerships to have my 325xi serviced. I usually never leave reviews on websites because my expectations are rather high and not often exceeded. When I am disappointed, I choose to forget it and let it go. Russel BMW has actually made me a fan.\r

The locale is similar to others I have visited. The waiting area was a bit nicer, but nothing fancy. The service costs were explained to me and I felt very comfortable about the process and it didn't take too long. The whole experience felt a little above average, at this point I was planning on returning but I was not a fan yet. Within a couple of days after they serviced my vehicle, I received a letter from BMW North America about a recall. Coincidentally, one of the things I had done on my vehicle was the recall and I got charged for it (the letter said it was a free fix.) I got a hold of Jamie and Jeff and they were nothing but helpful and accommodating. They respected my time and worked with me to get the refund. It wasn't much dollar wise, but they have earned a loyal customer by dealing with this rare case with professionalism and common sense. And I got a refund check last week!\r

I admit most BMW Dealerships do a good job as a result of all the training they get, but Russel BMW in Baltimore performs at higher level. I will definitely be returning and I recommend them to anyone.\r
