At Partridge BMW, servicing is carried out by BMW-trained Technicians using Genuine BMW Parts and manufacturer-approved diagnostic equipment.

What Is a Vehicle Service?

A vehicle service is a routine inspection and maintenance appointment designed to help keep your BMW operating safely and efficiently.

Unlike an MOT, which checks whether your vehicle meets the minimum legal road safety and environmental standards, a service focuses on maintaining your vehicle in line with the manufacturer's recommendations.

What Happens During a BMW Service?

The work carried out during a service depends on your BMW, its age, mileage and servicing requirements.

During your appointment, a BMW-trained Technician will inspect your vehicle, carry out the maintenance required at that stage of its servicing schedule and complete any applicable checks in line with BMW's recommendations.

Does Every BMW Receive the Same Service?

No.

BMW servicing is designed around your individual vehicle. The maintenance required will depend on factors such as the model you drive, its mileage, age and servicing history.

Your retailer will explain the work recommended for your vehicle before it is carried out.

What Happens If Additional Work Is Required?

If your BMW requires work beyond its scheduled service, your retailer will discuss the findings with you before any additional repairs are carried out.

This allows you to understand the work recommended and make an informed decision before authorising any additional maintenance.

How Long Does a BMW Service Take?

The length of a service can vary depending on the work required.

Your retailer will be able to provide an estimated completion time when your appointment is booked.

Can I Book My MOT and Service Together?

Yes. Many BMW owners choose to book their MOT and service during the same visit.

While an MOT checks whether your vehicle meets the minimum legal standards, servicing helps maintain your BMW in line with the manufacturer's recommendations.
