That is disappointing to hear, I've had nothing but great experiences with this dealer since the change. I recommend seeing SA Jeff Doss when you go back - very professional and courteous. It may not change the shop fee, but he is a good dude, in fact I was so happy with his service I wrote the ne GM of the dealership (former GM of Tischer BMW) a nice note, to which he replied promptly. I will ask aboout this rate and so-called shop fee next time I go in for service.

Jeff's always been good. I knew him back when he was a store manager for Starbucks years ago. I have a lot of positive things to say about any number of the members of their team (Jeff, DAngelo, Bill, etc), but there are few things I hate more than wasting time. They eventually worked it out and knocked the price down to a similar price to that which I had been charged historically, so no qualms with service there. Just be aware that you may be seeing a larger bill than you did before if you're heading in for an oil change. I will still go there for warranty service and possible future work, but I will definitely be asking for an up front quote henceforth (even for little stuff).
Overall, I would say the change has been positive (despite a few growing pains in the beginning and the increased margin expectations on low dollar invoices). The loaner fleet is certainly 100% improved. Nothing wears on a guy like dropping off an x5 for warranty/service and being handed the keys to a Toyota echo by the enterprise rep :-)
