Bay Area Stealerships- Allison Sucks!

[Ed Wodzienski <general@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All:

Is any dealer _acceptable_ for service in the Bay Area? I was all ready to
goto Allison, then the "synthetic oil/car wash" horror story was posted by
one member definitely nixed that idea! And I had a friend of mine "deal"
with them as well. (I've enclosed her horror story below.)

So, the question is. Any advice for an _acceptable_ dealer service
department in the Bay Area?

Anybody have anything to say about the following dealerships?:

- -Weatherford BMW in Berkeley, CA
- -Peter Pan BMW in San Mateo, CA
- -Steven's Creek in Santa Clara, CA

Thanks for the bandwidth-
