Looking for the best automotive repair shop for your BMW?
Head over to Oceanworks today!
There are plenty of reasons why drivers all over the world invest in luxury, high-end, and stylish BMW vehicles. From their premium quality design and engineering to longevity and performance excellence, everything is a class apart. Nevertheless, these vehicles are still vulnerable to wear and tear.
Oceanworks Berkeley offers BMW owners in Berkeley, CA with excellent repair and services at fair prices. We have an entire team of certified technicians who are knowledgeable about repairing the BMW line, including the 1- 7 Series, M, X, Hybrid, and Z4. Here are some of the automotive services we offer to BMW car owners.
Oil Change
Regularly changing your oil is one of the most important things you can do for your BMW’s health. It can potentially save you from spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on an automotive repair shop later on. According to the BMW Owner Manual, you should change your car’s oil every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. However, this can lead to carbon build-up in your car’s intake valves, which can result in severe consequences.
We recommend changing oil every 5,000 miles to help avoid this problem. 5,000 miles might seem too early, but this can help bring your vehicle to a ripe old age.
Tire Rotation
It doesn’t take long for tires to get worn down or require repairs. To extend the life of your BMWs tires, we recommend the following rotation schedule:
- Regular BMWs – Rotate the tires after every second oil change.
- Crossovers and BMW SUVs – Rotate the tires after every oil change.
Rotating your tires consistently promotes even tread wearing and helps maintain proper vehicle safety, handling, and traction.
Engine Inspections
BMW needs a complete vehicle inspection around every 20,000 miles, and your vehicle will notify through the CBS when it’s due.
This complete BMW inspection needs almost an hour and is much more complex than a simple visual inspection.
Cabin And Air Filters
BMW suggests changing the cabin and air filters after every 20,000 miles. As an additional safety precaution, the CBS system alerts you when a new cabin and air filter is due.
At Oceanworks, we recommend checking the status of these filters at each service to determine their health rather than replacing them only upon mileage. This will ensure that air passes properly through the engine, leading to possible failure and engine problems.
Antifreeze and Coolant Replacement
Antifreeze, also referred to as coolant, should be flushed and replaced every 40,000 miles or whenever a coolant system part is replaced. Coolant system parts include the thermostat, radiator, heater core, hoses, etc.
Tiny particles of debris accumulate over time within the coolant system. If left unattended, they start to clog and restrict the flow of coolant. This can cause significant damage.
