09 April 2025
The sales people were keen to find a car that meet my needs and kept within my budget, I found them friendly and informative.
05 April 2025
Our experience at Stephen James BMW Blackheath was special and we are extremely happy with the service we received from Hayley and Lewis. The car is stunning and we are very happy with our new purchase.
04 April 2025
Very satisfying dealing with all the salespeople
03 April 2025
See above.Lewis was very helpful
03 April 2025
As above excellent vehicle and service
30 March 2025
1) Seamless Paperwork on delivery 2) hard work from Peter, Andy and James to get the economics done and 3) easy swap of the old X5. The final delivery of the car in elevator with background music makes the family happy
30 March 2025
Great salesman Robert Smirk
29 March 2025
I didn't feel like I was just another customer, I felt valued and was treated with utmost respect and professionalism.
27 March 2025
Wes again gave us a fantastic experience and we drove away with smiles on our faces (despite our cheesy choice of music)..
27 March 2025
Everything went well, from first contact to collection of the car. I highly recommend the Woolwich Sales team, especially Peter and the Sales Manager/Head of Sales, Andy
25 March 2025
Seemless purchase and very punctual delivery. Kept up to date from purchase to delivery.
24 March 2025
Everything went to plan
06 March 2025
I was kept informed of progress and the delivery process took me though all I needed to do to get the car and BMW App set up to my requirements.
05 March 2025
Good communication throughout. Kept me updated during the whole process and explained all situations promptly
25 February 2025
Clearer communication would have led to a more informed decision. In the future, we'll customise our car from scratch and wait a few weeks rather than buy from stock-only to realise later that it wasn't exactly what we were offered in the first place
19 February 2025
Peter was amazing throughout the process. He made sure the car delivery was a special moment.
06 February 2025
All went as expected

Very satisfied as they've always done the job accurately and on point
05 April 2025
Real professionals this branch is run by management who care
05 April 2025
Generally excellent, good comms, polite. Deducting one star because my app still shows that a vehicle inspection is due, yet the vehicle inspection took place per my invoice so something was missed in updating the system to flow through to the app.
04 April 2025
Easy to access
04 April 2025
Again the service is very good ??

Paul Dawes, the service manager, is attentive, professional, and makes sure everything is handled promptly and thoroughly. I always feel confident leaving my vehicle in his care.
26 March 2025
Failed to receive any videos of the car check and given hardly any notice to collect the vehicle.
26 March 2025
Getting the car washed by BMW was a terrible mistake. Car back with dirty swirl marks. Worried it may have caused minor surface scratches. Back seats had indentation marks on as if something was left there for a while

18 March 2025
The pre-appointment info I had sent in took a long time to retrieve, and the car was in the workshop for a considerable amount of time.
18 March 2025
10/10
17 March 2025
My rep was Khalid Multi who went above and beyond to assist my requests.
17 March 2025

Work needed completed, car cleaned , and returned to me. A well organised firm.
07 March 2025
PROFESSIONAL.approach, job done on time, efficiency, courtesy - what more would I want? Except price! I need another job doing but you are maybe 25% more expensive than an independent BMW-only specialist.
07 March 2025
Always kept informed

Courteous and efficient.
22 February 2025
My bmw was booked in at 8:45 gor a simple battery change. Got seen at 12:45. Didn't clean the vehicle after

21 February 2025
Although I was disappointed that my issue was not covered under warranty I was very happy with the service that the team provided. Tanvir Mohshin and Steven Treais were both excellent and a credit to your business.
20 February 2025
I want to say thank you to Khalid for his customer service and patient and the way he took care of my car, even though I couldn't fix it yet but I was impressed by the way my car was taken care of, I was really happy when I received my car.

The service has a personal touch. I like that the person I dealt with was interested in me and my car

Car was taken in for diagnostics, issue was resolved quickly.
19 February 2025
It was my first time there at this branch - Woolwich and service was poor , they struggled to locate the appointment, delayed at pick up, diff pple handled receipt and handover , confused invoices and left the car unwashed, blamed all system issues
18 February 2025
They tried their best to work within the given time
18 February 2025
Due to above reason
17 February 2025
The customer service representative was very helpful and guided me throughout the entire process.
17 February 2025
Impressive staff
17 February 2025
The main issues we needed sorting were sorted. However, we were told that the headlamp would be on back order to then find out its not under warranty yet. Then when it came to handover it was really bad. Not the experience I have previously had.
17 February 2025
Everything was no issue and great customer service
17 February 2025
Polite staff. Couldn't find the problem but had a good try ! Don't talk down to you

13 February 2025
Wonderful experience
12 February 2025
Stephen James must promote Samuel Manford to be a manger asap! This guy was willing to go out of his way to help a customer like me. He was able to organise any query I may of had then and there. Wow 10 star service! Sam manager asap or bmw is ????
12 February 2025
Disappointing that on a cold winter's day your coffee machine was not working. Given the prices you charge, a free coffee should be the minimum of creature comforts on offer!
12 February 2025
£363 to change the transmission oil. Robbery!
12 February 2025
Really great service and nice polite customer care
12 February 2025

My service was handled by Tanvir - he was professional, easy to do with, clear on costs and timing, and very efficient. In short, everything went very smoothly.
20 January 2025
3 stars given for early accomodation of service due to battery issues. 2 stars knocked out as I was told the car will be cleaned outside & inside and it wasn't. 2nd time this has happened at your service center. Recommend not offering a complement
19 January 2025
Standard of service provided
19 January 2025
Always receive exceptional service from Niran & Glen at the Woolwich centre. It's very important I think to maintain the continuity of a particular service manager/staff with each customer, makes the whole experience feel more personal.
19 January 2025
Both Niran & Glen provided excellent efficient service: Polite and friendly keeping adequately updated during the servicing of my car
19 January 2025
Attitude
19 January 2025
Thorough explanation of recommendations and work works completedby service team naran At the desk, Roy (I think thats his name, the English gentleman) was exceptional in the way he looked after my 3 year old son. Very rare these days.
19 January 2025
Very good service.
19 January 2025
They serviced and MOTd the car, made suggestions of possible work, which I agreed to, all without putting on a hard sell like some other place do.
18 January 2025
Great customer service from Ray, very friendly and professional. Great information and support given and a very efficient, quick and easy experience.
