Breaking CPO Warranty?
All -
Quick question ... I have an '02 X5 (3.3i) and I'm going to need some CPO work done on it (see below) next week from the Dealer. However, I'm going to have an oil change done from an independent shop the day before for a few reasons (see below). Question is: Will having the oil change done by an independent break my CPO warranty in anyway? My CPO is a Warranty, not a maintenance Warranty, so the CPO doesn't cover oil, brakes, etc. Backstory: So on Tuesday I took my X5 into the dealer to have a nail removed from RR tire and also have them top off my oil since the light was coming on. They did all this and then came back with the following items that they said needed to be fixed (soon): 1. Replace belts ($193) 2. Replace Front bushings ($261) 3. Replace C.V. Boot ($1,000) 4. Fix Power Steering leak ($234) 5. Replace both Front ($680) and Rear brakes ($548) So I asked them, "I was in for my Insp II in March (7,000 miles ago), wouldn't this stuff have been discovered then?" The answer, "Well, it's been all summer, blah, blah, blah" So basically, no answer. I then asked, "Isn't some of this covered under my CPO?" (which runs out in December) and he goes, "Oh, yeah, well the CV boot and the Power Steering would be covered." I'm thinking, well ... gee, glad I asked since that alone was $1200. So I set up an appt to do just the CV boot and the Power steering next week since those are under the CPO and will only cost me a $50 deduct. I then called a local shop, Autohaus Bayern here in Beaverton, OR and talked with them. A buddy at work has used them a lot and likes them. Basically they can do all the other stuff (brakes, etc) for a lot cheaper. He said, "bring it in for an oil change on tuesday and we'll look at the other stuff mentioned and I'll let you know if a) it truly needs to be done and b) when it needs to be done. He said, the brakes for example, I might have another 6 months on them as the light is not even on yet. (note: the dealer recommended getting them done, but didn't say that "had" to be done right this minute). So I just want to make sure that getting the oil changed by the Indie dealer on Tuesday doesn't screw up my CPO warranty for the CV boot and Pwr Steering work being done by the Dealer on Wed. Any input would be great. Nothing like going in for a flat tire fix and coming out with $2800 worth of work to be done. ugh. |
