BMW Maintenance
Does your BMW fall short of a German engineer’s highest expectations for performance? Or has its odometer just clocked another 5,000 miles, which indicates that it’s time to bring it in to the shop? Bimmer Rescue is standing by to perform the routine maintenance any BMW needs in order to remain fuel efficient, navigate the roads safely, and avoid the need for costly repairs.
In addition to brakes, tires, transmissions and turbochargers, we specialize in maintaining BMW vehicles’ most technologically sophisticated systems. You may not understand precisely how your BMW’s VANOS or xDrive work, but you’re sure to appreciate how much better it handles once the Bimmer Rescue team has optimized those systems’ performance!
BMW Maintenance Schedule
We advise having your BMW professionally serviced every 5,000 miles (although adhering to 4,000-mile service intervals is advisable if you regularly sit in traffic jams or traverse bad roads). Doing so will help keep your high-performance vehicle in peak working order, as well as prevent premature wear and tear on all of its moving parts.
- Every 5,000 miles – engine, brake and cabin air filter inspection, engine oil, brake fluid and coolant check, tire rotation (if necessary); plus comprehensive vehicle inspection
- 10,000 miles (or 1 year) – engine oil, oil filter and coolant replacement
- 20,000 miles (or 2 years) – fuel filter inspection/replacement
- 30,000 miles (or 3 years) – transmission fluid replacement (manual transmission models), brake fluid replacement (after initial replacement, brake fluid may be replaced every 60,000 miles)
- 60,000 miles (or 6 years) – transmission fluid replacement (automatic transmission models), spark plug and engine air filter replacement, brake pad and rotor inspection/replacement
- 90,000 miles (or 9 years) – timing belt and hose replacement
BMW maintenance does not necessarily follow a set schedule. Computer diagnostics may reveal the need for preventative maintenance at any mileage/time interval, which is why it’s so crucial to bring your BMW in for regular maintenance every 5,000 miles. Once our team has scrutinized every facet of your BMW’s performance, we will determine whether it requires replacement of any of the following:
- Coolant
- Oil filter
- Engine oil
- Brake fluid
- Brake pads
- Spark plugs
- Transmission fluid
- Power steering fluid
- And everything else your BMW needs in order to perform flawlessly
BMW Condition Based Servicing
In addition to fluid levels and performance, your BMW’s Condition Based Servicing (CBS) system constantly monitors wear and tear on the vehicle’s moving parts. It informs you when your BMW requires maintenance – not just at regular time/mileage intervals, but also when something has gone wrong and requires a mechanic’s immediate attention.
Your BMW’s CBS system automatically alerts you four weeks ahead of each regular service interval, and also reports which components need checking. Pay close attention to these alerts! They indicate when it’s time to bring your BMW in for maintenance, and will help you avoid costly repairs down the road. Whether you own an iDrive or non-iDrive model, your BMW’s CBS information is always available on its Control Display.
Don’t postpone such an important part of BMW ownership. Schedule an appointment for maintenance at our locally owned garage today!

Audi Maintenance
Audi has a reputation for building extremely reliable vehicles. But no Audi is so well made that it doesn’t need regular maintenance.

Our high-tech tools and highly experienced team take care of all the routine maintenance Audi recommends for its vehicles.
Audi Maintenance Schedule
Your Audi’s recommended maintenance schedule depends on the year it was manufactured.
If your vehicle’s model year is 2017 or later, your scheduled maintenance intervals begin at 10,000 miles and reoccur every 10,000 miles:
- 10,000 (or 1 year)
- 20,000 (or 2 years)
- 30,000 (or 3 years)
- And so on
If your vehicle’s model year is 2016 or earlier, your scheduled maintenance intervals begin at 5,000 miles and reoccur every 10,000 miles:
- 5,000 (or 1 year)
- 15,000 (or 2 years)
- 25,000 (or 3 years)

German engineered cars are Bimmer Rescue’s specialty, and we take great pride in keeping our clients’ happy while they’re in our shop and on the road. Schedule an appointment today if your Audi’s odometer is creeping toward a number that ends in three zeros!

Tesla Maintenance
When it comes to Tesla, there’s so much to love! From its lightning-fast acceleration to its commitment to the environment, and not to forget those excellent safety features. Plus, it’s packed with bumper-to-bumper high-tech goodies, including autonomous driving. However, it’s worth mentioning that maintaining a Tesla can be a bit different from what a typical auto technician is used to.
Tesla Maintenance Schedule
- Every 2 years – replace cabin air filter and check/replace brake fluid
- Every 4 years – Replace AC desiccant bag
- Every 6,250 miles (or when tread depth difference is 1/16″ or greater) – rotate tires
- Every year (or 12,500 miles) – clean and lubricate brake calipers (if you drive where roads are salted during winter, such as Virginia)
Your Tesla’s tech won’t impress you very much if you fail to maintain your vehicle. Make sure you’re fairly representing the future of driving while you’re out on the road. Schedule an appointment for Tesla maintenance or repair at Bimmer Rescue today!
