BMW servicing should be of paramount importance. That at least is the line spun by the mighty marketing machine of the German giant. Nevertheless, you have to ask yourself one essential query: should I trust them? May I not be able to find a better deal with my local garage.

First of all let's look at the reasons for suspicion. Anytime you're becoming advised to stick with BMW servicing, the person doing the telling is nearly always a salesman. Should you trust the worlds of a sales person? Does Satan skate to work? No, of course you should not. They are interested in maximising aftersales value and making certain you stick with them is the best way to do it.

However, just simply because he's biased does not imply he's not telling the truth. As anyone who has used a car mechanic can inform you, it is a constant lottery. Whilst there are many who offer a decent and responsible service - who will not charge you unnecessarily - there are other people who will.

To illustrate let's use this instance. For a few years I've been driving my reliable used Bimmer. It hardly runs smoothly, but then once more it is almost as old as I am, which is a considerable statement. So when I took it for its normal MOT I barely raised an eyebrow when it clocked up a hefty charge in servicing.

Then one day I took it to a local council. They do not receive a penny from any repairs and so have no incentive to find faults other than to quit me ploughing off the road and into a group of pedestrians. The bill when I used them?

Absolutely nothing, not a jot. It just goes to show. Even seemingly trustworthy mechangics are not averse to pulling the odd quick one.

To additional promote the idea of BMW Servicing, you can opt for the Service Inclusive option. For an upfront fee you cover the costs of servicing for the first five years or 60,000 miles (whichever comes sooner). On the one hand this is a price which you might not require. Nevertheless, at least you know the full cost in advance. There will be no unpleasant surprises.

Equally as important. Using official dealers means all parts will be genuine BMW and you'll get a full service history. All that indicates great things for resale value later on. So, to sum up, is it worth sticking with BMW servicing? Yes - completely.
