Why Service Your BMW at the Dealership?
Why Service Your BMW at the Dealership?
Posted on November 19, 2021
No matter how little or how much your drive your BMW on a weekly basis, eventually, it will need to be serviced and have regular militance performed in it in order to keep it in peak condition. The question most owners have, however, is where to take their vehicle to get serviced. Should you take it to a BMW dealership, or can you just take it to any local mechanic?
The short answer is that it is always better to take your BMW to a certified dealership. To better explain why that is the best solution, here is a look at some of the benefits of using a BMW service department.
1. Expert Knowledge
When you take your car to the dealership to get serviced, your vehicle is being handled by a team of professionals that have experience working with your specific type of car.
For instance, here at Brian Jessel BMW, all of our technicians are certified to perform diagnostics and repair any BMW vehicle. This means that each and every person that works in our service department has been specially trained and understands all of the complexities that can be found on BMW vehicles.
2. Special Tools
When you take your car to a local mechanic, chances are, they will have a set of tools that are designed to work on a broad range of motors and parts. This can be a good thing, but this can also be a bad thing for your BMW.
Many BMW parts are specially designed and are slightly different than any other automotive part on the market. A general tool may not fit a certain bold or screw well. This could end up causing damage to your vehicle in the near future.
Here at Brian Jessel, all of our tools and equipment are specifically designed to repair and replace BMW parts. For the most part, you won't be able to find our specialty tools at any hardware or parts store.
3. OEM Parts
At our service department, we carry a large selection of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Every OEM part was made only for a BMW vehicle. This means that it will fit better than other after-market parts, and it will last longer as well.
In some cases, your warranty could be voided if you do not use OEM parts on your vehicle. Many times, a local mechanic will not have any BMW OEM parts on hand. They may be able to order an OEM part, but without being a certified BMW dealer, it will cost them (and you) a lot more money to purchase the part.
