75k service on E46 M3

[turbo-gp]

Newbie here, so I hope I've posted in the correct section. :fencelook:
My M3 needs her 75k service and I needed a bit of advice, which dealerships on the east rand you guys rate or slate?

Auto alpina are ok , but find them unprofessional.

Rather use Bruma.

Anyone use Alberante in Alberton? they around the corner from my workplace.

 

[Gizmo]

I use Alberante for all my parts orders, friendly and helpful. I can recommend them.:thumbs:

 

[pempimpin]

Weird u say tht gizmo as I had endless problems with alberante and pretty great service at auto alipina @ prini....

 

[jeff_denning]

What needs replacing/ fixing for R75k though?
I'm fairly sure you can get off a bit cheaper without paying stealer prices

Jeff, read again.
75k service = 75000km service.

Is the car under MP still? or is this coming out of your pocket?

If you are paying its going to sting like a mofo if you go to the agents.

Auto Alpine they a k@k they were exposed on tv for bad service, a car (e36) had a bad crank sensor and they claim it was dme, when the dme arrived they couldn't allign it with ews2. An Indy sorted out the car, if you were in Pta I would recommend Club motor fountains. Best of luck and welcome

Try making an appointment, and still waiting 45min while they chat away :nonono:

I still order parts from there as they are the closest, but not my servicing.

 

[Gizmo]

I service my own cars but I buy all my parts from Alberante so I have never used their service team before.
In my eyes, all dealerships are useless...

I personally find Auto Alpina great - I have serviced all my cars their, I have tried others that where close to my place of work, but always go back to Auto Alpina.
If you have any issues with the workshop Speak to Luis - tel him I sent you, and he will attend to any probs professionally.

Why not take the car to Gizmo if you out of MP?

 

[turbo-gp]

My car has very low mileage for the year model and went out of motorplan on 25k (varified this with BMW) The previous owner never extended the motor plan so I guess I should just get the service done privately by a reputable guy .Thanks for the advice guys.:thumbs:

Auto alpina are ok , but find them unprofessional.

Rather use Bruma.

Bruma & Auto Alpina are owned by the same family!

 

[Gizmo]

Don't let those dealership monkeys fuck your car up, bring it to me instead.:thumbs:

+1000 take it to Gizmo!

Interesting but they both have different management and employees. Employees can ruin your reputation, if they dont put the customer first.

I have been to JSN a few times also, now that is service!! I didnt mention it before because he was looking for a dealer in the East Rand.

Gizmo sorted my slave cylinder on the E36, and some stuff on my friends car. Excellent work!

I have only had good experiences with AutoBahn in Isando :thumbs:
