Service after 1 year
I'm taking my BMW in for oil service which they do after one year. (warrenty)
The also suggested that after 1 year, I should have a 4 wheel alignment done. The cost of the alignment is about $250. Does it sound necessary? Seemed like a good way for the dealer to make a few extra $$$ to me. Only 13k on the car and no unusual tire wear or excessive hard driving. 128 2012 Msport - auto ... Rob |

What a rip off. My service advisor did an alignment on mine for $149. They also told me not to get an alignment unless I notice abnormal tire wear, which I had at 22k miles in the rear.
I see this all the time on the BMW forums. Dealerships charging wildly different prices. Someone told me the other day an oil change was $140 at their dealership. Mine charges $88. |

This doesn't make sense. I thought all service was covered for 4 yrs / 50k miles, right down to wiper blades?
So if a 4-wheel alignment is required after one year then they should pay for it. I'm about to go in for my 1-year service (will have ~12k miles), though I have the oil changed at my expense at 7500 miles. And for the record I paid $150 for that oil change.

I'm heading in for my 1 years service in 40 minutes, I'll let you know how that turns out. Oh, And I also had oil changed at my expense at 4000 miles , Hendricks charged me $89.00
Ok , 1 1/2 hours, no mention at all of needing four wheel alignment. Replaced wipers oil and filter. No charge |
