Reliability
Regular visits to the workshop for
routine servicing are strongly re-
commended 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 warranty peri-
od has expired, evidence of reg-
ular maintenance is essential.
Certain signs of wear may not
otherwise 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 moto-
rcycle and can take remedial
action if necessary before minor
faults develop into serious
problems. By having the
necessary repairs done properly
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.
