BMW repair guarantee

keynote2017 · 01-21-2018, 04:25 AM

Hi guys, well BMW recently changed some seals on my car. At a cost of almost £3000 (not paid by me) I thought it was sorted. But with the recent snow it seems there's still a leak coming from the front pillar.

How long is the work guaranteed for? Will they try to charge me for this? Any advice would be welcome before I go back to them.

Thanks

Genuine BMW parts come with a two year warranty

But what if the part is fine? im thinking maybe the seal they put in is fine but the actual work done wasnt correct.

From memory, parts is 2years. Workmanship is 1year (weird, i know)

Personally I don't think it matters, as I'd still be taking it back and getting them to rectify it free of charge as their original fix hasn't sorted the issue. Whether it's parts or labour, they need to get to sorted.

Called the dealership, service manager has requested pictures and is booking the car in
