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?

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.

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.

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!

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!
