BMW Service FAQs

How often should a BMW be serviced?

For those looking to follow BMW’s exact suggested servicing schedule, the service intervals set for your BMW are determined by its age, with BMWs manufactured before 1995 using a mileage-based system, and post-1995 taking on a digital display taking into account how the vehicle is used. Many newer models are able to directly advise when a service is due.

As a standard, Bosch Auto service recommends an interim, or ‘bronze’ service be performed every 5000 to 7000 miles in order to ensure the roadworthiness of your BMW between full or ‘gold’ services. Regularly servicing your BMW will help keep it safe, reduce repair costs, and ensure it is performing at its best. Book your BMW service with us online here.

Will servicing my BMW with an independent garage invalidate my warranty?

Warranty retention is often a big concern for owners of newer BMWs – especially where servicing is concerned. Though dealerships often state that vehicles must be serviced at BMW registered locations in order to keep warranties intact, EU legislation introduced in 2003 states that vehicle owners are not obliged to have their vehicle serviced by a franchise dealer during the warranty period. This legislation is, however, subject to certain restrictions;

In order to retain a warranty whilst receiving service from a non-franchise dealer, the manufacturer’s recommended schedule must be followed, and only manufacturer-approved parts may be installed.

Auto Service & Tuning Centre guarantees our use of quality or manufacturer-approved parts and recommended schedules in our BMW services. Book with us today.

Do I have to get my BMW serviced at BMW?

According to 2002 EU ‘block exemption’ regulation, completing your BMW’s service with an independent dealer or garage will not invalidate your warranty – so long as the manufacturer’s schedule is followed. This means you are able to service your BMW at any reputable garage you’d like.
