uniquely personalised approach
Truly amazed by the friendly service at Accelerate. They were punctual, kept me informed and kept below the quote for the job - even better! There is no doubt I will be back again and will recommend Accelerate to others. Having owned Audis, Mercs and now BMWs, what I experienced at Accelerate was far superior to anything from these top European car brands.

How often should I service my BMW?
Keeping up with regular servicing is essential to ensure your BMW continues to deliver the performance and reliability it's known for. Most BMW models require servicing every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first, though this can vary depending on the model and your driving habits. We can help you follow the correct service schedule to keep your BMW running at its best.
-
Do I need genuine BMW parts?
You don’t necessarily need genuine BMW parts, but we recommend using either genuine or high-quality OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) components. These parts are specifically engineered for BMW vehicles, helping to maintain their performance, safety, and resale value. We use trusted parts that meet BMW standards, so you can drive with confidence.
-
Does booking in at a non-dealership avoid my warranty?
No, your warranty stays intact as long as your BMW is serviced by qualified technicians using the correct parts and following the manufacturer’s service guidelines. We adhere closely to BMW’s requirements, which means your warranty remains protected without the higher cost of dealership servicing.
-

Testimonials
What our customers are saying
Amazing experience!
I booked my A5 in to be looked at after Audi Centre Fortitude Valley said I needed new brakes all around and 7k worth of repairs.From the beginning, the experience was fantastic. From booking and being offered a loan car to arriving and being offered a coffee, it really is the small things that lead to an amazing experience.
Turned out nothing Audi had found was correct and I was shown video proof. All the car needed was some new front brakes. Cannot highly recommend these guys enough!

Efficient, thorough and I left feeling I understood the problem. The token to get a fabulous coffee from the barista outside. Can not recommend Accelerate Automotive highly enough. As a woman who knows nothing about motors and cars, the Technicians took the time to explain it, so I understood it.

Service and supplies you won’t get anywhere else
A lot of later-model BMW's require specialist parts like oils that can’t be found in most garages and workshops. As a European car mechanic, you can be confident your car will be serviced with the highest quality and correct supplies required to keep your BMW running perfectly, while ensuring we don’t compromise your warranty. Be warned – going with a generic alternative as a ‘cheap’ one-size-fits-all solution can be an expensive mistake.
