Reliability
Regular visits to the workshop
for routine servicing are
strongly recommended even
after the warranty period has
elapsed. They are the only way
to be genuinely certain that your
BMW motorcycle 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 may oth-
erwise 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.
