Hi guys, I am a Canadian that purchased a US car and brought it into Canada. It surely saved me a few bucks but now that my factory warranty is about to expire I was thinking of going to the closest BMW dealer in the USA to use the maintenance plan to change the oil and hopefully brakes and maybe clutch if needed. I have a good rep with my dealer here in Vancouver and all their support and he advised me to take advantage of the service because they dont cover maintenance here in Canada but my car is valid in the US. Unfortunatley my SA doesnt know anyone in the Washington area so I am on here for your help.

I dont know what to expect going into a new dealer butI do want to take advantage of the maintenance plan that is still valid on my vehicle. Before I take the car in I wanted to ask if anyone on the forum has a good relation with any SA or Manager that can help me out with all the work I need done. I know dealers can be harsh sometimes but my warranty is about to expire so I want to get everything checked out and all wear tear items that need to be replaced which is understandable.

To be honest with you, all the SAs I've encountered at BMW NW and Bellevue weren't the "hook up" type. But Bellevue has always been consistent on pricing with me, and always has good coupons for service. I just got a $99 oil change, which BMW NW wouldn't accept. So I would say good luck, you would think they would try to do as much as they can since they still get paid on warranty work. But again, SAs are almost as worst as car salesman. You also can try Seattle.
