Reliability
Regular visits to the workshop
for routine servicing are
strongly recommended even
after the warranty period has
expired. They are the only way
to be genuinely certain that your
BMW is being kept in perfect
working order.
For generous treatment of
claims submitted after the war-
ranty period has expired, evi-
dence of regular maintenance
by an authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer is essential.
Certain signs of wear, moreo-
ver, may otherwise not be
noticed until it is too late to put
them right at moderate cost.
The staff in the authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer’s workshop
know every detail of your
motorcycle and can take reme-
dial action if necessary before
minor faults develop into seri-
ous problems. By having the
necessary repairs done prop-
erly and in good time, you save
time and money in the long run.
…serviceYou can obtain accurate advice
in all cases, and make appoint-
ments with a firm completion
deadline which we will comply
with punctually. But the most
gratifying feeling of all is that
your BMW is in genuinely good
shape when it leaves the
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer's workshop – and above
all, safe.
