How to get my used car Checked by maintenance! HELP

b1gmac88 · 08-30-2009, 05:27 PM

Hey guys,
So i bought a second hand 335. It has 20k miles on it but i want to bring it into maintenance to make sure everything is ok.

I made an appointment for next weekend because i said that my alignment was off because my car kept steering left. its not drifting that badly but i thought itd be a good excuse for them to look at it.

My question is: Will they check to see if anything else is wrong while its in there for the alignment? My computer says 1700 miles untill i need a service so will they check everything then?

Thanks

Probably not unless you ask them.

Just to let you know, some cars are aligned with a slight leftward bias to compensate for the crown going down the middle of the road.

I would just asked them to look everything over when you drop it off for the alignment.

They're going to charge you for the alignment anyway. A whole lot of money. Maybe they'll look the car over too.
