Look for Aaron Buckhard or Richard Kim.

Two of my clients got their vehicles red flagged over there for light mods...

Just recently that is...

When i was in the market to get a JB4 my friend told me that the most mod friendly place around me is Beverly Hills BMW and go speak to Jaque, Laidback tall black guy. I sadly never got the JB4 because of the thought that my warranty would be voided and also because i got a speeding ticket and don't need another one. GOod luck!

Well "a lot" has changed internally over there, they got bought out by Penske group several months ago. I have two high school friends that are technicians there but unfortunately they say the shop foremans make the ultimate decisions and have the shop under close watch(rightfully so). The shop foremans then document the vehicles with modifications and send off their reports to BMWNA.

Anyone have any experience with Rudnak or Bob Smith BMW?

SourD · 06-01-2015, 06:42 PM

Save yourself the hassle and just go see Charlie @ Mckenna. Best pricing, service, and always willing to go the extra mile for their customers. Just to give you an idea, I drive out 30+ mins to Mckenna even though I've got 5 bmw dealerships within a 10 mile radius. Strictly service... can't vouch for sales.

Forgiven · 06-01-2015, 07:15 PM

Yeah I met charlie@mckenna too. He was a real cool dude.

I will see you again for next upcoming service.

Charlie@McKennaBMWService · 06-02-2015, 05:21 PM

Thanks for the kind words fellas, truly appreciate the feedback! I will constantly do my best to thrive in nothing but exceptional customer service!

TheInnerG · 06-03-2015, 06:47 PM

I am glad I found this thread, I never want to take my car back to the dealer I got my car from. I'd rather give my business to someone who is highly recommended like Charlie.

Would there be a problem if you have a catless downpipe?
