Had the Z in the dealership yesterday for a couple of little things.

Initial thoughts after yesterday weren't great, they didn't really do what I hoped and charged me alot more then I felt reasonable for doing very little. After the last couple of times I've had it in with them I was very disappointed in what is usually an excellent dealership.

Just had a phonecall from Mike, their aftersales manager. He's apologies, talked through the issues/experience, refunded me nearly 50% of the costs and is giving me a generous, discounted as much as he can, quote for all round brakes and pads which need doing at some point.

So all in all a bit disappointing to start off with through a number of reasons not all to do with Batemans themselves, but given the chance to make amends they've kept a happy customer and will no doubt be getting more custom off me in the future.
 
Oh and btw...

You know you've got a problem when you get the quick detailer out on a courtesy car.

All dealers mess up sometimes - lots of staff that can have good and bad days - the key is that it's not lasting damage and they make amends.

A (expensive!) restaurant double booked my table for 6 once, as an apology for us having to wait an hour for a free table, they gave us an unlimited tab in an adjacent champagne bar, and free food and wine all evening. We left a very generous tip, and we've since been back 5 times in a year...
 
Just had his quote back for 4 x OEM discs and pads... 500quid fitted.

Ouch if that's discounted id hate to see the normal price!

You would hate to see the price for a full set of M brakes!
 
Don't go upsetting Batemans Ste.
I want my free tea and biccies when we visit at the National Meet next year. :-)

I think parts alone from ECP come to about £250, add the BMW tax and fitting, £500 sounds about right (without a discount). Like you said, an undos counted price must be shocking!
