28 December 2024
Everything done on time and to plan. Daniel went above and beyond in ensuring all paperwork was signed off and finance finalised so the purchase ran smoothly and quickly. The car tour/handover also very professionally completed.

02 March 2025
When I made the booking I let the person on the call know I needed a new battery to then be charged £180 for bmw to tell me I needed a new battery. I was contacted 10 minutes before closing time to tell me to come collect the car.
28 February 2025
Timely service with transportation support to & from City allowing us a day out whilst car serviced
27 February 2025
Great communication. All staff encountered were professional and friendly. Morgan provided regular updates and promptly responded to queries.
27 February 2025
Given regular updates
25 February 2025
Great and cheaper than quoted. Only slight issue for me is how it took until 1pm to get my car in for service after bringing it in at 8am as asked, would be great to have slightly more accurate time estimates!
25 February 2025
Key area addressed promptly. Comments above about car washing are the only feedback.
25 February 2025
See above
25 February 2025
The service was completed by mid-day. However the MOT then somehow managed to take until 5pm and I even had to ask them not to wash the car in order to get home in time.
24 February 2025
Couldn't have dealt with anything better.
24 February 2025
Tried to over charge me and me had me waiting a long time when collecting. Tried to send me away without invoice
23 February 2025
The video of my car's free health check was very poor due to a great deal of background noise making it extremely difficult to make out what the mechanic was saying. I advised Holly who was handling my booking that day and she assured me all was fine
23 February 2025
The service experience was provided to the high standard I have become accustomed to.
23 February 2025
As above - good service and clear, regular updates from Morgan

Realy good service
18 February 2025
Thé service experience was wonderful
18 February 2025
Easy to get booking and very friendly staff. Helen Briggs is just great.
18 February 2025
Service advisor, Helen Briggs, was excellent. Fault was diagnosed as requiring reprogramming but that failed to cire the issue. A new part was required to be ordered and fitted which meant leaving the car at Eastern over the weekend.
17 February 2025
all done as arrnaged
17 February 2025
I needed a new tyre and dealership were great at sorting with my lease company
15 February 2025
Two issues stopped me giving a higher score, both relating to attention to detail. First issue was the engine bay not being cleaned of a coolant spill during the EGR recall process, second was wrong mileage on the invoice by some 60K miles!
14 February 2025
Initially, I felt the service poor, with sales personnel changing without notice and 3 delays in the car being handed over. Communication with sales people was patchy. However, my frustrations were eventually addressed in a goodwill gesture.
13 February 2025
Work carried out efficiently and quickly and to my surprise price for the tyres was not as expensive as i thought.
13 February 2025
Not informed or kept up to date with progress on recall fix, no offer of refreshments, vacuum and internal clean extremely poor, felt and was ignored. Will probably change garage in future.
12 February 2025
Morgan, in collaboration with the warranty manager and technicians overcame many difficulties including non-availability of parts due to age of vehicle.
11 February 2025
Rating down to problems still showing with Drivetrain warning light seemingly sorted and after drive home from garage the Engine Warning Light also illuminated!
11 February 2025
Staff and service at Eastern BMW are unfailingly polite and helpful.
10 February 2025
Issue was fixed
10 February 2025
I needed help in a hurry and got it.
10 February 2025
Very happy with all round experience
09 February 2025
In comparison with other big companies BMW win hands down on treatment of customers. The girls were all lovely and accommodating. I misread how payment should be made there was no problem and i was not made to feel foolish. Very refreshing and kind.
08 February 2025
Kept informed.ed of car status throughout day. On collection Customer service excellent.
08 February 2025
All good apart from the silly charge to dispose of the brake fluid
07 February 2025
I was given all information as my car was getting serviced
04 February 2025
Well, I'm not a car mechanic, but every time I've gotten my Baby X back from repairs, I've never had to return the next day shouting at anyone! Considering my sort-fused-Mediterranean-temperament, that's quite an accomplishment and a win in my book!
04 February 2025
All work completed within time frame
04 February 2025
Kept up to date,
04 February 2025
Couldn't fault anything
03 February 2025

03 February 2025
Very professional staff from reception to servicing. Looked after me very well, great communication keeping me up to date and the coffee was excellent ??
03 February 2025
Almost completely, on this occasion the problem was not rectified so I will now have to book the car back in for the third time. I accept these things happen!
03 February 2025
Poor communication from dealer no phone calls just the odd text message were they didn't even identify who was sending the message.
01 February 2025
Great communication on MoT progress.
01 February 2025
Oil and filter plus microfilter service required, booked in at 9.30am didn't get my car back till mid afternoon which I thought was a bit too long a wait for a small service other than that very satisfied.
01 February 2025
Great service, shown great empathy for my situation. Problem resolved quickly with great communication. Can't thank them enough. Morgan was the best servicing rep I have dealt with over many dealerships.
30 January 2025
I can't give any other score. I was without my car for three weeks. The text updates were helpful. I asked the Service Manager to contact me. Two weeks later he did, left a message and said he'd phone me back. That didn't happen.
30 January 2025
The actual MOT and health check were fine however on this occasion the communication was poor. I left my car first thing in the morning and I had to phone 1pm ish to find update. Eventually received a text message at 16:45 saying car was ready.
28 January 2025
Nice staff. Good service at showroom. No follow up when I asked for a chance to discuss the findings at the inspection both on picking up the car and afterwards by email.
28 January 2025
Generally very good, recomended a new rear wiper blade on health check, but I was not asked if I wanted it replaced, had to go and get one myself, would have been nice to get this done at the same time as the service.
28 January 2025
You did everything you said you would within the timeframe you said
27 January 2025
Kept informed at all times during the service process
27 January 2025
I like the text message updates as it's easier when I'm at work and I'm meetings

26 January 2025
Was keep informed about my car and very good service team

Lady at reception and service advisor were both very friendly, polite and helpful
24 January 2025
First class service. Will not be going anywhere else apart from here for my next car
24 January 2025
Advisor side completely dissatisfied due to not answering my messages. Service to my car average from it going in till me getting it back a week and half to carry out the work. Left the garage onboard service not updated.

20 January 2025
An excellent customer experience from start to finish. Amazing friendly reception staff, clear communication throughout the day and car nice and clean to collect. A problem with a charging cable to was efficiently resolved as well.
19 January 2025
My vehicle was dealt with immediately and returned like new after being cleaned inside out.
19 January 2025
Good information, time spent and Ewan really listened to my needs
18 January 2025
Car valet was of shocking standard, demonstrating lack of care. Service manager stated same when he came out to inspect warranty claim. Gemma provided excellent customer service, I'm hopeful to hear back on warranty claim soon.
18 January 2025
Always a great experience with the service from eastern
16 January 2025
Helpful staff but they are handicapped by poor parts stock at the dealership and poor UK supply for my BMW i3. It feels like so many parts need to be ordered from Germany, on a vague and unpredictable timescale.
15 January 2025
I was not waiting as long as l had thought and my dirty car came out clean and fully fixed.
15 January 2025
Excellent customer service
15 January 2025
Always great attentive well informed process.
14 January 2025
All of the staff at Eastern BMW were keen to see that I was well looked after while waiting on my car. This doesn't cost the garage much but makes a big difference from a customers point of view
14 January 2025
Great communication from team Great service
14 January 2025
Morgan Timmins and the reception staff were excellent
14 January 2025

Great to deal with
14 January 2025
All the commitments for the new part were kept and service was completed as explained.
13 January 2025
Top service. I knew exactly what was happening with my car and when. Went out their way to help me when I had issues with commuting back to work. Also left me a few bits in my car which I ever knew about until I got my keys which was a nice touch.
13 January 2025
I was completely satisfied. They sent a detailed summary of the service, and the car came back all washed and valeted. Thank you.
12 January 2025
Excellent communication and prompt service

10 January 2025
First time had dealings with eastern must say the guys are brilliant
10 January 2025
We were very satisfied especially with your tec person who was very good at explaining how technology worked in car.
09 January 2025
If something as simple as wiper fluid was missed, it raises serious security concerns about what else might not have been done.
07 January 2025
Car sorted. All good
06 January 2025
Delivered what was promised on schedule.
06 January 2025
superb service

05 January 2025
Courtesy car provided and everything explained. All went smoothly
02 January 2025
Never disappointed when my car is in eastern bmw. Always go above and beyond.
30 December 2024
The work was completed within the expected time and you did wash and clean the car (unlike the last visit). The costs were as expected. I waited for over hour for the service staff member to come and talk to me though and had to chase him.
30 December 2024
Easy to deal with, well looked after and updated on progress
30 December 2024
Disjointed text messages with updates rather than calling.
30 December 2024
I think your staffing is as good as the cars you sell
30 December 2024
Straightforward and proactive engagement
28 December 2024
Will never go back
16 March 2025
Awesome from start to finish. Ewan Swanson was a class act & he kept me informed regularly regarding delivery etc.
