BMW Car Service North Shore

BMWs tagline is ‘The Ultimate Driving Experience’. Famous for its trademark handling, innovation, safety and luxury, every part of every BMW is designed with the driver’s experience in mind. Built for the joy of driving, this German-engineered glory does indeed offer the ultimate driving experience. Of course you want the ultimate in servicing for it as well.

At Autoactive Car Solutions, we offer exactly that. Our high quality BMW car service, repair and diagnostics service across the entire range of BMWs from our convenient Artarmon location in Sydney’s North Shore will ensure your BMW maintains its high performance status – without the high price.

Premium BMW Car Servicing

It is said that once you own your first BMW, you will never want to own another brand again, and we can see why. The precision engineering, power, efficiency and reliability of a luxury BMW is second to none. BMW’s innovative engineering is designed to need a minimum of maintenance, which means less scheduled services than ordinary cars. It even monitors its own condition and will let you know when a service is due.

Of course this means that once your BMW is due for a service, it’s important to schedule one. It is well-known that if you take care of a BMW, it will take care of you, but neglecting regular maintenance is a sure road to expensive bills further down the track.

A brand new BMW will not need much attention, but if you have an older version of this classic marque, it will definitely benefit from more regular services and timely repairs. And certainly if your beloved Bimmer has a rattle or hiccup that doesn’t feel right, make sure you bring it in to sort it out. A quick hook-up to the computer or a small repair can save a major hassle and a lot of money in the long run.
