Servicing Your BMW, Mini, Mercedes, Smart, Lexus, Audi
  BMW automobiles are our passion; whether it’s the latest M-cars to the classics we can service them all.

Mini Service Raleigh NCThe Car Place’s Master Technician, Tom Foster has a passion for BMWs . Anyone who knows him will tell you, he can’t learn or know enough about what it takes to keep your BMW running right. An ASE Master Technician for many years Tom spends countless hours training and researching the cars he loves whether its his meticulously cared for M3 or your pride and joy he’s the man you want maintaining your vehicle. Make no mistake, Maintenance is one of the most important aspects of trouble free ownership. So don’t trust you beloved Bimmer to the guy who might know a “little bit” about your car, let Tom and the folks at The Car Place keep it running just right.

Still receiving BMW’s Free Maintenance? BMW’s free maintenance is a wonderful benefit of owning a newer BMW, however do you relly want to drive 15,000 miles between oil changes? The Car Place highly recommends an intermediate oil and filter service. Even with modern filter and synthetic oil technology, 15,000 miles really pushes the limit of their capabilities. In our experience a BMW that has the oil changed in between the “FREE” service has a much fewer problems now and later in its life. An added benefit, when we change your oil we will provide a free inspection that can alert you to issues you may want to bring to the dealers attention while the car is still under the free maintenance program or new car warranty.

We would hate to see you have to pay for a repair that would have been covered by BMW…. if you had only known sooner!
