18,000 for First Service Light

So after having the car for 22 months and 18,000 miles my service light finally came on! Is there anything special I should ask for when I take it in? Like stuff they won't give you unless you ask?

Side question: Does anyone know if they do state inspections for free? Just curious if that is something included in the 'free' service...

Are you saying you went 18,000 miles without an oil change?

no, I took it in on the 1 year anniversary...although they acted like I was a problem when I got there and I should wait until my service light came on.

State Insp is not included in pre-pay maint' from MINI

BUT

I have known dealers to cover it gratis .... never hurts to ask.

I'm at 22 months and still 1400 miles out from "first service"
