Does independent maintenance void my factory warranty?

No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects your right to independent service, provided factory schedules and specifications are followed. We perform to spec and document everything — your warranty stays fully intact.

How do I know what service is due?

Your service indicator gives part of the answer, but the full picture comes from the factory schedule for your VIN and mileage. Call us with both and we’ll tell you exactly what’s due — and what isn’t.

Why does oil specification matter so much?

German engines specify oil standards (BMW LL-01, MB 229.5, VW 504 00, Porsche A40) engineered for their tolerances and intervals. The wrong oil accelerates timing chain, turbo, and bearing wear even if the viscosity looks right.

Is dealer maintenance better than independent?

The work is identical when performed to factory specification — same fluids, same checklist, same resets. The difference is price and communication. We’ve been Boca Raton’s dealer alternative since 1972.

What happens if I skip scheduled maintenance?

German engines are less forgiving than most: extended oil intervals sludge timing components, old brake fluid corrodes ABS units, and overdue coolant service leads to overheating. Skipped $300 services regularly become $3,000 repairs.

Factory Scheduled Maintenance in Boca Raton, FL

Manufacturer-recommended service intervals for German vehicles — performed to spec, documented for your warranty, and reset correctly every time.

Schedule Maintenance Call (561) 392-1662

Follow the Schedule. Keep the Warranty. Avoid the Big Bills.

Every German manufacturer publishes precise service intervals — what to inspect, replace, and reset at each mileage point. Following them is what keeps a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, or MINI reliable past 150,000 miles; skipping them is how four-figure repairs happen.

Our Boca Raton shop performs factory scheduled maintenance exactly to specification: correct-spec fluids, OE-quality filters, the full factory inspection checklist, and proper service-indicator resets (CBS, ASSYST, and service reminder systems). Everything is documented, so your factory warranty stays intact.

Not sure what’s due? Bring us your mileage and VIN — we’ll pull your maintenance schedule and quote exactly what the manufacturer calls for, nothing more. See also oil change service and mileage-based maintenance.
