Redbrick Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Curious about cost of 6,000 and 12,000 services on R models in your area....About $500 for a 6,000 and $700 for a 12,000 in our area.... Phil.........Redbrick Link to comment
TomfromMD Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 About $300 & $500 at my dealer near Washington, DC. Link to comment
Mike05 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Got curious and looked it up; $280 for the 6k, $350/12k. Seems reasonable compared to you but then again, paid $470 for a set of tires! Now buy, mount and balance myself. First time paid for the equipment. Link to comment
luf Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Mike, I noticed you are from Highland Village. I live in Denton. Did you get those prices from BMW of Fort Worth or from the dealer in Plano. I bought my 07 RT from the dealer in Fort Worth. I paid $450 for the 600 mile check. That's why I was wondering which dealer you got those prices from. Jimster Link to comment
Mdcruiser Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Just had my 6K done. $457 at Battley's in Gaithersburg. Breakdown was 4 hrs labor @$85, plus $93 in parts, silly "shop supplies", and $5 sales tax on the parts. No cylinder guards to remove, by the way. Cheers, Michael Link to comment

Phil.........Redbrick I paid $167.00 for a 6K service. That didn't include parts since I supplied my own oil and filter (I had originally planeed to change oil myself but didn't have time).

That's why I was wondering which dealer you got those prices from. I can't answer for Mike, but will add in my own experiences. I use BMW of North Dallas. My 600 mile service was similar to yours ... roughly $450, but I also had a Centech fuse block installed during that same service. I just had my 6K service done about 3 weeks ago, $280 for that. I'll let you know what the 12K service costs me in a little less than a month. Link to comment

Mike05 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Jim, Sorry I took so long to answer your question; I simply forgot to get back to you!! My bad. Bought my bike and have all the service work done at BMW of North Dallas (actually located in Plano). There mechanics are very knowledgeable and do a great job "wrenching" on the bikes. The gentleman who runs the Parts Department, Robert, and his assistant, Chase do a wonderful job as well & will get whatever you need, even if they don't normally carry it. All-in-all a good place to go. That being said, I've learned to do a lot of the required maintenance myself, mostly as a result of this Board & folks I've met here via "Tech Daze" and just riding together. Kinda part of the deal & it funds future "farkles" to boot! WE ride a lot of weekends; pm me if you'd like to join us. Gotta like pie thou.... Link to comment

Phil.........Redbrick Phil, there have been some prior threads on this same topic - from what I recall you've got the highest prices I remember, but not by much. Prices do vary a lot with region. I just did my 6K with a local shop which specialized in Beemers but isn't a Beemer dealer. I figure the $$$ I saved on the service will go back into some new riding gear at the dealer. I'm doin' my best to keep BOTH shops open! Cheers, Greg Link to comment
Jim VonBaden Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 If the price and inconvenience of having a dealer do it is a big pain to you, and you have some basic skills, just do it yourself! I have since the beginning, and never had a warranty issue refused. Jim Link to comment

Dick_at_Lake_Tahoe_NV Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I bought a set of Conti Road Attacks from an Internet supplier--$220 including shipping. Took the wheels into a local independant motorcycle shop for mounting and balancing for $25/each including tire disposal fee of 3-bucks. Link to comment
gasser Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just had my 6,000 mile done on R1200RT at Grassroots BMW in Cape Giradeau MO (100 mi south of St Louis) and they charged me about $150 but I changed my own oil and filter before I got there. I was mostly interested in TB synch and fault codes. They did the whole job, plus changed two tires--more for that--and I was able to talk to the tech as he worked. This dealership is awesome. If you get the chance to ride through this area, they will treat you right. Their attitude is to take care of the customer and the customer will help you care or the business. For me it's worth the ride to get the service! Link to comment
