    Review: Kelly BMW in Columbus, Ohio.

    I cant say enough about how cheerful and glad to have my business this place was. :down:

    To start, I called this dealership for a few odd parts. Some washers and bitch clips. Seemingly not a big deal. I get on the transfered to Mr. Fun himself. I said,
    me: "Hi, I have an inquiry as to some parts you might have".
    mr.fun: "Ok.....(long pause)"
    me: "I have the part numbers"
    mr.fun: "Ok..... (long pause)"
    me: "Are you ready"
    mr.fun: "Ya"
    me: "25xxxxxxxx, and 25xxxxxxxx"
    mr.fun: "Yeah"
    me: "Yeah, what?"
    mr.fun: "Yeah, we stock em."

    I hang up. I was pretty put off by this prick, but as soon as I arrived at the dealership, It was evident what a group of happy campers these people were. I go to the parts window, where I sat for a minute before the receptionist decided to stop playing solitare, and page what I believe to be Mr. Fun himself. He arrives from his dark cave. I say Im here for some parts, and he stares at me for about 20 seconds. It was like the phone convo all over again. They give me the parts, I give them my Credit Card, they cut me a reciept, and I was the only one that said, "Hey, thanks, etc..."

    I didnt even mention anything about how put off I was, but my girlfriend lets lose about how abrasive these people really were. I find it tough to believe that these people lead such sad existence when they deal daily with some of the most incredible cars on the market.

    In short, I dont think I would ever buy a new car, much less any part there ever. Why make such an investment and run the risk of being dealt such a poor customer service hand.

    Granted the $7.00 I spent on hardware was probably the least of their worries, if they cant get that right, why would I or anyone else want to buy a car there?

    MAG and Kelly are one in the same. MAG used to be great when the employees worked there because they enjoyed it.

      I called there the other day with a vin to check if a car was factory optioned with lsd, and i was told that they were unable to do that, that it was "impossible". I was completely dumbfounded. So i called mag and got the answer i needed.

      I sat there for a minute, reflecting on what just happened. So I called them back:

      me: "hi, im calling back because (explained situation) and the person who just answered the phone was too big of a dick to be bothered to help me out"
      jackass:" i don't know anything about that, it wasn't me (though it sounded just like him)
      me:"I'm not sure that i have ever called a business and gotten someone so rude..."
      jackass: "well im sorry about that and I would be happy to do that for you..."
      me: "no, fuck that. MAG already did it
      *click*


      And i just want to add, i was overly polite when i asked the first time, i know its probably not very common or even required for them to help me, but its customer fucking service.

      Oh and joe, angry sweater dude works at carquest N. High

                  I once went to the local dealer when I lived in Puyallup to ask about some small parts I needed. I didn't have the PN's, so I was going to need him to look them up. He asked what year and model, and I replied, "'89 325i". Before even inquiring about which parts i needed, he asked, "Have you checked a junk yard yet?"

                  Then I left.
