Regular servicing keeps your car reliable and protects its value. As an independent BMW and Mercedes specialist, we follow manufacturer schedules with the same grade parts as the main dealer. The same applies to every other make we work on.

DEALER-STANDARD SERVICING
BMW and Mercedes servicing is our core work. We update BMW iDrive and Mercedes digital service records at every visit so your history stays complete. The same team handles all makes to the same standard.
We also service ZF automatic gearboxes, DSG units and VAG Haldex 4Motion systems. Timing belt and water pump replacements on VAG engines are done to manufacturer spec.

WHY NOT GO TO A MAIN DEALER?
Main dealers charge premium labour rates to cover franchise overheads, showroom costs and brand marketing. The work itself often uses the same OEM parts we fit.
At Aline Motor Care you get the same quality parts, proper diagnostic equipment and digital service entries, with independent pricing. Your manufacturer warranty stays valid under block exemption rules when servicing is done to the correct standard.
The difference in practice:
Main Dealer
- Labour: £150 to £200/hr
- Pattern parts unless specified
- Long waiting times
- Brand markups on every job
Aline Motor Care
- Labour: Independent rates
- OEM parts as standard
- Same-day where possible
- No upselling. No surprises.
