03 June 2026

Karina was amazing. Listened completely to what we were after and helped us secure a great deal. After purchasing, she kept me up to date on progress and then did the handover. Amazing service end to end

29 May 2026

Chad the salesman was friendly and helpful. We couldn't find one in stock with the right spec, we had to order one. It wasn't ready in time for our wedding day so he arranged for me to borrow one of their fleet cars for the weekend! Amazing!

28 May 2026

Absolutely no issues whatsoever, staff were very helpful and understanding. Nothing was too much, very courteous and patient and no pressure applied into purchasing a vehicle. I would definitely recommend this branch. Kye and Chad are exemplary

18 May 2026

Overall the experience was good but it was spoilt by the over reliance on IT systems which had not been properly thought through to manage the car purchase - too many disclaimers to sign. No advance notice on various payment methods before handover.

All The Staff We Deal With At Group 1 BMW Bedford Are A Credit To The Brand

10 May 2026

I dealt with Abbey at Group1 and had been dealing with Sytner group. Sytner were poor communication and pushy when a car was found. Abbey kept very good communication and had the right balance on sales and support and was a pleasure to deal with

04 May 2026

Because they listen and treat you with respect

03 May 2026

Exemplary service throughout - see below.

30 April 2026

20 April 2026

Nothing too much trouble.Everything explained clearly.Excellent service.

12 April 2026

Everyone was pleasant, helpful. constantly ensuring that we were comfortable with the process . The lead sales communicator was outstanding. Sunil Duggal was the difference between a local purchase and a northen lease specialist.

09 April 2026

Very good customer service

03 April 2026

Fast effecient

02 April 2026

The two members of staff went out of their way to make sure my purchase and handover went smoothly.

01 April 2026

Extremely careful, considered and customer oriented service. Always kept in touch and available for any questions.

31 March 2026

Kept up to date by Jahmal. Collection was very professional.

30 March 2026

The customer experience was excellent from start to finish. Cameran Akhtar was extremely helpful throughout the process. His friendly low/pressure approach coupled with his excellent product knowledge was critical to my purchase.

27 March 2026

I had one of the best experiences buying a car at BMW. Abbey was amazing and listened to everything I would liked and answered all my questions.

24 March 2026

PHEV car not charged at all, otherwise a good service. Understand there was issues with chargers at the garage, but seems a priority to get the new cars charged

24 March 2026

Chad Eldridge was attentive, supporting and very professional to deal with

18 March 2026

Couldn't have asked for a better experience buying my new BMW from Group 1 Bedford. Jahmal was fantastic from start to finish - friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely made the whole process feel easy rather than overwhelming.

17 March 2026

Sunil and Carl were so helpful during the whole process

16 March 2026

Very happy with service and my experience. I went in thinking I could only afford a used car. Met Cameron who calmly talked through options, I drove away with my dream car. He was brilliant, not pushy and very helpful. Very professional.

15 March 2026

The whole process, from my initial contact through to collecting the vehicle was smooth and professionally managed. The staff were polite and answered all my questions in a timely manner.

06 June 2026

The work the car was booked in for was only partially completed. The brake fluid service was completely overlooked

06 June 2026

Always top service

06 June 2026

First class service many thanks

04 June 2026

Efficient

03 June 2026

Everything was efficiently calm with very good results

03 June 2026

The plastic trim that was a new part for the IX3 ev fell off 2 days later. I suspect this is a design problem rather then the fault of service dept.

03 June 2026

No coordination between the contatc centre booking my repair and the centre meant that I had a completely wasted trip. the advisor who sorted it out was brilliant but the overall experience is awful. Can we go back to calling the location?

02 June 2026

Helpful and professional throughout the process.

31 May 2026

I was immediately received and directed to the job (MOT). Wait was comfortable and wifi enabled. It took 2 hours but it was already stated to me.

31 May 2026

MOT has taken far too long to include extra work. 4 days was unacceptable. I have complained about the additional cost that was not budgeted for. I had a meeting directly with service manager. I firmly believe I should receive a part refund.

31 May 2026

Always a smooth service from start to finish. Friendly and professional staff.

31 May 2026

Everything has become too impersonal, too automated. would prefer more customer engagement from staff.

29 May 2026

Easy to book and drop off.

29 May 2026

Service not completed fully. Very inconvenient that the equipment had a fault meaning I need to return for the oil service warning message to be removed.

28 May 2026

Service advisor was very helpful but the washing vas not to standard. There were a lot of flied on the front bumper and the door shuts was mot clean.

28 May 2026

Smooth booking, check in for the service efficiently, hire car available and good communication

27 May 2026

Completed on and at the agreed time

27 May 2026

Easy check-in. Friendly greeting on arrival. All work explained clearly. Prompt communication.

26 May 2026

Because I was looked after so warmly and attentively by Nick, who was a very kind and friendly gentleman.

26 May 2026

I can wait the moment when I can offer 5 star, but on the last visit I receive the car unwashed, I can understands if it wasn't available this service, or no one asked me, but you have this option, I have been asked and I chose to wash my car.

25 May 2026

Lovely staff very helpful and actually listen to you.

21 May 2026

I had a first service booked in which I was waiting for, when I ask if the recall for the filter wiring issue had been done it hadn't, so I had to wait a further 45mins. I would have thought all technicians would know information regarding recalls.

21 May 2026

Excellent service and Karl took me home

20 May 2026

Efficient service . Staff friendly and helpful.

20 May 2026

Tried to give me electric courtesy car known for well, but my car was petrol, then proceeded to try and give me a car which had a crack in the windscreen

20 May 2026

Did precisely what was promised.

19 May 2026

Efficient, on time

18 May 2026

Service was fine but the price is very expensive for a very basic amount of work, oil changes should be price reasonably to also encourage customers to have an interim oil/filter change at 7.5k mile intervals as 15K miles is far too long.

17 May 2026

All good and professional and explained the re call after my visit

17 May 2026

They didn't fix the annoying rattle that I reported (which the vehicle has had since delivery from the factory), and the dealer didn't telephone or give me a chance to explain the issue further; they just informed me when I was collecting the vehicle

17 May 2026

I have had an ongoing problem with my car for over 1 year now. It's a shame that one of there halo cars still has a remaining issue that at present there seems to be no answer for , although details of the fault are now being recorded.

16 May 2026

Simeon went above and beyond in terms of effort and he also demonstrated great communication and management.

16 May 2026

All good.

16 May 2026

Excellent service. Job done well

15 May 2026

Super seamless, trust in the garage and staff team

14 May 2026

Very quick and I received a call promptly when everything has been completed.

14 May 2026

My car was in for a brake fluid service on 8th May. Your service tech presented 3 attention items. Front brake pads said to be 92% worn. Last MOT in Oct 2025, since when less than 1700 miles have been driven, showed 20% wear. So my trust is low.

12 May 2026

The MOT and brake fluid change were done on time and with no issues. I was called when my vehicle was ready for collection

11 May 2026

Car came to you just after being cleaned and was returned filthy on the outside, extremely dusty, with greasy spots on the front windscreen which were hard to remove. 50 miles had also been added to the odometer between drop off and pick up.

09 May 2026

No set diagnositic price and very unclear updates. Basically told diagnostics were £250 an hour and then could be endless Incredibly disappointed by the service and will avoid the main dealer wherever possible

06 May 2026

Did the job as specified and within time.

06 May 2026

Very satisfied nick ventrone the service advisor was so helpful from start to finish explained exactly what parts would be replaced and what checks would be done.

05 May 2026

Always a pleasure to be helped and serviced by your co.

05 May 2026

Great service

04 May 2026

Very polite and quick

04 May 2026

It was a quick factory recall to replace driver side airbag. My wife took the car and was pleased it was completed so quickly and that she could wait in comfort. I appreciated the under body inspection video and recommendations.

03 May 2026

It was a positive experience every step of the way.

03 May 2026

Outstanding service.

02 May 2026

Identified an unkniwn issue with a front tyre and got it resolved quickly. Cost covered by insurance.

27 April 2026

Excellent service

27 April 2026

Given that you only allow 250 characters, you're clearly not that interested in and appears to be just a shameless attempt to find positive experiences. Very poor, rude cocky receptionist, dreadful value, untrustworthy. Won't be returning.

26 April 2026

Very good service

25 April 2026

I have a ceramic coating on my car and wanted to have car vacuumed but not washed. This was not possible as you had to have wash and vac or nothing. Would be good if it can be offered oil future or better still offer a specific wash for ceramic cars

23 April 2026

All good. On time.

21 April 2026

Excellent service all round

21 April 2026

I was promised that the change of two tires would take an hour. I scheduled my day around the appointment. In the event, it took 2.5 hours. I was supposed to be first on the list of cars to be seen. The engineer prioritised another job.

21 April 2026

No reason not to

19 April 2026

No problems and finished on time.

19 April 2026

Really disappointed with my experience. I currently have an ongoing case and was told I'd hear back within 48 hours - it's now been four days with no response at all. I've even had to escalate it to BMW HQ myself. To be honest, the whole situation h

15 April 2026

You had my car for 5 weeks while waiting for a part

15 April 2026

Service was fine but it cost more than I anticipated for an electric car. Not the best value for money considering how little needed to be done. Also disappointed that they recommended changing perfectly safe tyres with plenty of tread left on them.

15 April 2026

Very professional throughout. Explained costs etc

15 April 2026

They were very accomodating, In and out service.

15 April 2026

As always the team is great, helpful and it is a pleasure to drop my car off for service. Special shout out to Nick!

13 April 2026

Very easy to drop the car key off at the secure drop box in the service reception and nice to receive text updates about the service. The service and car wash were completed within the 2 hour time slot I'd pre-booked.

13 April 2026

Excellent service from start to finish. Staff were professional, communication was clear, and the work was completed on time to a high standard.

12 April 2026

Excellent help and service just the cost that stops 5 stars.

10 April 2026

The bonnet of my vehicle came back with two scratch marks. Went an email immediately I saw this and still awaiting for someone to exain what happened and how they will sort it out

09 April 2026

What an awful non friendly website and (lack) of service. No point in trying to navigate this feedback and have no desire to purchase another BMW and / or use the service of any main BMW Dealership.

09 April 2026

Happy

08 April 2026

EWverything was good. Polite and efficient treatment throughout.

06 April 2026

50% of the tasks that were booked were not able to be completed. And I had taken a day off to attend the dealer I feel left down I was offered a second date to complete the booked works but I do not work close to the Bedford dealership.

05 April 2026

Booking the service, checking in online and dropping the keys off in the deposit box was fine. When booking I was asked if I wanted a complimentary car wash. Didn't happen. I have a service plan. The staff member initially asked for payment.

04 April 2026

Easy arranged, prompt service and good customer service.

01 April 2026

Wasn't told I needed a new tyre until I had got home now have to wait 2 weeks before I could get an appointment

Good service, efficient.

30 March 2026

23 March 2026

Very satisfied. Simon was very accommodating whilst I dealt with an unexpected family medical emergency.

21 March 2026

Team were very supportive as my lease company did not provide a hire car and as such no way of getting home so the works were completed ASAP to minimise disruption to my day / a long wait

21 March 2026

Car in all day and booked work not carried out

21 March 2026

Everything was good, Ash kept in touch throughout so I knew the timings etc. As it took a bit longer, some money was taken off the bill.

18 March 2026

MoT with some minor service requests executed on time curtesy car provided. Took the opportunity to obtain an explore possibility trading in my 5 series for a smaller model this was carried out in a professional manner.

17 March 2026

good job no complaints

17 March 2026

Excellent timely service. All good.

17 March 2026

MOT was brilliant, the 'complimentary wash' left the inside of my car worse off than when I left it.. I had to clean it again myself.

16 March 2026

Staff are always efficient and pleasant. Work finished ready to collect car when expected.

15 March 2026

When collected, the car had not been valeted as promised.

15 March 2026

Everyone was very helpful and polite

15 March 2026

I have been waiting since 3rd of March to have 2 new tyres fitted due to no stock and tyre machine not working. I am in for the third time on 17th of March so far I have clocked up 90 to get this done.

14 March 2026
