The 1st one you are on about is a vehicle inspection , you take it to the dealers and then they check it over, think the charge is around an hours labour, they will I form you if anything needs doing.

Vehicle check service due

Does BMW have to carry out the service check? Or any vat registered place so you can continue to use your extended warranty...?

[KM79]

This is a bit of a grey area.Its meant to be any vat registered garage using genuine BMW parts but I think someone on here put up the AUC documents and it said it had to be at a BMW dealer only.It will certainly affect any goodwill claims in future( out of warranty)

Yes mines on aswel, now actuslly -150 miles, if i book it in for a service will they check it then? Or do you have to pay an hours labour then have a service done on top?

The hours charge is the inspection mate.

So i have to pay for an hours inspection for them then to say you need a service which i already know?

[blues n twos]

Mine came on last week for vehicle inspection and it's due a service in 3000 miles. I will probably get the both done together next month.

No you pay an hours labour for you're 'Vehicle Check' which is an inspection of the vehicle and diagnostic check.The light gets reset and that's it done.

[newmanman]

Thanks all,

What are they checking for or is it an opportunity for them to say,, Er you need this and that done Sir £££££££

[KM79]

Yes basically.On normal servicing it's 'quick in quick out' so levels etc/ tyre pressures/don't get done but do on this one.Its called a 'vehicle check' as it's getting a check over lol

[Hulla the Hulla]

Has anyone got a tick list of what they actually check, is it a physical thing, suspension, bushes, bodywork, tyre wear, brakes, levels etc or is it the usual, plug in the computer and then try and charge you $$$$$$$$$ for something you probably don't need ?
