BMW is recommending changing the oil every 15,000 miles....Could it be that the reason for the long interval is the fact that it is free? We advise changing the oil a little more often(every 10,000 miles)to better protect that very expensive engine....We have seen sludge build-up with these long intervals...

Happy Motoring!

People have been coming to us for second opinions more and more lately...Why? They are starting to feel uneasy at some of the local dealerships....We have found that many of the advised repairs were not even needed...."scary"

We are always happy to give you a second opinion. We do this many times while the new client waits. We can show you exactly whats going on, with the vehicle up in the air....We will give you the real story.

Our intention is not to slam any other repair facilities....

Regards,

Mark

Tire Care Basics - simple way to improve safety, improved fuel economy and better handling characteristics....

Tires can lose 1 psi (pounds per square inch) per month under normal driving conditions. Additionally tires can lose 1 psi for every 10 degrees temperature drop...

10 months - net effect can mean your tires are 10lbs low....not good!

Low pressure increases heat dramatically....This can be a good reason for unexplained blow outs, with a perfectly good tire....I think you get the picture.

Buy a good tire gauge and take control. Consult the manufacturers recommended inflation chart and adjust as necessary. Check tire pressures cold not hot.

Most people have know idea how to check tread depth. Place a penny in the tire tread groove. if you can see Lincolns head, replace the tire....

Some vehicles (especially Mercedes) have inner tire wear that is very difficult to see....Do not assume your tires are good by only looking at 1/2 the tread face.

Hope these tips are useful

Happy Driving
