How often should I bring my car for maintenance?

For BMW and MINI vehicles, we recommend following the factory service intervals, typically every 8,000 to 12,000 km or once a year for routine oil changes and inspections. However, if you notice warning lights, performance issues, or unusual sounds, it’s best to schedule an appointment sooner.

Can I get an estimate before any work is done?

Yes! At Nixon Automotive, we provide a detailed inspection and estimate before any work begins. Our team will discuss your options and ensure you have a clear understanding of the necessary repairs and associated costs.

Do I need an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?

We highly recommend booking an appointment to ensure the fastest service and availability of parts. However, we do accept walk-ins based on availability, and our team will do its best to accommodate urgent repairs.

How long will repairs take?

The repair time depends on the complexity of the service. Routine maintenance, such as an oil change or brake service, can often be completed the same day, while more complex repairs, like engine or transmission work, may require additional time. We always strive to complete repairs efficiently without compromising quality and will keep you updated throughout the process.

What Our Customers Say About Us

First time visiting the shop after my service warranty expired at the BMW dealer. Amazing service and a real honest review of what is needed and what could wait for the next time. My 230 cabriolet runs amazing and will definitely be my go to shop.

Karim Hirji

Great experience with Nixon Automotive BMW specialists. They replaced my battery the same day I called and provided excellent customer service. I'll definitely be back.

Lisa Bernath

Was told by the dealer my X3 has rusty shocks that need to be replaced. Brought my car to Mitch, the team did a thorough inspection and confirmed no replacement required. I will come back to Mitch and team for my X3 from now on. Job well done!
