BMW 3 Series service questions

How much is a major service on a BMW 3 Series?

Between R3 244 and R6 220, depending on the engine. Each price is the total for parts, oil and labour, with no charge for the 21-point inspection.

How long does the service take, and where does it happen?

At your home or your office. A Michanic mechanic arrives with the parts and oil for your specific vehicle, does the service on site and hands you the inspection report before leaving. You do not drop the car off and you do not wait at a dealership.

Will servicing outside the dealer void my BMW warranty?

No. Under South Africa’s automotive aftermarket guidelines, a vehicle still under manufacturer warranty may be serviced outside the dealer network by an accredited provider using parts of matching quality, without the warranty being voided. We record every part fitted so your service history stays complete and provable.

Which parts do you fit on a BMW 3 Series?

BMW genuine parts, or original-equipment quality from Bosch, GUD Filters, FRAM, NGK, Shell, Castrol and Elf. You are told exactly which brand goes into your car before any work starts, and the price you were quoted is the price you pay.

Does my car need a major service or a minor one?

A major service is the full-interval service: oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, plugs or fuel filter, and the inspection. A minor or interim service covers oil and oil filter with a safety check and costs less. If you are not sure which interval you are due for, tell us the mileage and the last service date. See major service or all our prices.

Can I claim this service from a service plan or motor warranty?

Yes. Michanic is a Motorite partner and we process Motorite service and warranty claims, along with claims from other providers. Send us your plan or policy details with your booking and we handle the paperwork.

Do you service the 3 Series in my area?

Enter your suburb in the booking form and you will see straight away whether we cover you and what date is open. Michanic is fully mobile, so there is no workshop to drive to. We come to you.
