Recent Customer Reviews: BMW Motorcycles of Miami

Dismal-Weakness9426 — Reddit r/bmwmotorrad — July 2025

Posted to r/bmwmotorrad with photographic evidence. G310R recovered post-theft and sent to BMW Motorcycles of Miami for insurance repairs. Over months, the dealership uncovered issues in fragments (battery, tire, electrical). When the bike was finally returned, the rider discovered: brakes that nearly caused a crash, license plate held by a shoelace, missing mirrors, front light hanging loose, and missing screws, nuts, and bolts. The rider had to take it to EPC Motorcycles in Doral and pay another $600 to make it safe. BMW corporate's reply was described as a polite brush-off with no ownership and no offer to reimburse. The rider posted photo evidence of the license plate hanging from a shoelace. A Reddit account tagged as "Dealer" attempted to discredit the post, which the rider addressed directly with specifics. Read the full thread on Reddit.

Goose D. — Yelp — June 29, 2025 — ★ (1/5)

After a stolen motorcycle was recovered, Goose D. brought it to BMW Motorcycles of Miami for insurance repairs. The process took several months, filled with miscommunications and false completion dates. When the bike was finally returned, the brakes were not functioning properly, and the rider nearly crashed the same day. An additional $600 had to be spent at a different shop to fix issues that should have been addressed. The service was described as careless, unprofessional, and dangerous.

Bmw R. — Yelp — April 3, 2025 — ★ (1/5)

Expected a higher standard from BMW, but the experience at BMW Motorcycles of Miami was deeply disappointing. The service process lacked communication, follow-up was poor, and concerns were not taken seriously at any point. A pattern of similar complaints from other customers was noted.

Jose Suarez — Google Maps — March 22, 2025 — ★ (1/5)

Disappointed by the lack of regard for customer service. Noted the place only exists because there are no other BMW shops near Miami. Despite purchasing bikes, ordering parts, and having service done there, the customer service was described as lame with a snobby attitude from ownership and employees. Work takes forever to get done.

Gonzalo Suarez — Google Maps — March 4, 2025 — ★ (1/5)

Reported very bad service. When a motorcycle broke down and was towed to the dealership, they refused to accept it immediately, requiring a scheduled appointment. The rider had to take the bike to an independent mechanic who resolved the issue in one hour. Also noted the dealership began selling lower quality motorcycle brands, seen as neglecting the BMW customer base.

Rod Hernandez — Google Maps — February 18, 2025 — ★ (1/5)

Attempted to use warranty service but found it nearly impossible to drop off the bike. When calling service, staff said they were busy and would call back. Instead, a WhatsApp message was sent. When a staff member finally called 24 hours later, the rider was told to keep the motorcycle at home to avoid scratches or dings at the shop. After this experience, decided not to use their services at all.

Eduardo Rey — Google Maps — November 11, 2024 — ★ (1/5)

Described the service department as terrible. Always having issues with mechanics, inability to keep scheduled appointments, overcharging, and attempts to pad the repair bill by suggesting brakes, tires, and service that were not due.

Danny Mendes — Google Maps — July 11, 2024 — ★ (1/5)

While acknowledging the store itself is a level above, the service area received a firm recommendation against using it. Issues attributed to the store's policies rather than individual staff. An independent service workshop behind the store was recommended as a better alternative.

Augusto Zapata — Google Maps — June 11, 2024 — ★ (1/5)

Described the worst service department ever experienced. Had a conversation with the general manager (Garcia). Despite purchasing two motorcycles there and servicing them there, stated he would not purchase or service there going forward. Zero regards for customer service.

Brad H. — Yelp — April 19, 2024 — ★★ (2/5)

Nice selection of bikes and accessories, but customer service is described as really bad. Called several times for the service department and went to voicemail every time. No return calls received.

Max M. — Yelp — May 22, 2023 — ★ (1/5)

Purchased a new bike but the salesperson didn't know anything about it and rushed the sale. First service appointment was three weeks out. Arrived at 9am, waited seven hours. Service department doesn't inform you of anything. First service for a Royal Enfield was $420 despite being told it would be around $200.
