Scheduled for second factory maintenance.....

I scheduled an appointment for next week for the second factory maintenance from new. The first was at 8K and now mostly 18K.

No major problems aside from various interior trim rattles. I cannot complain much aside from a seat bolster to be checked and a lightbulb to be replaced.

This is just time consuming to go to Seattle and waste a day traveling when you have a busy schedule.

What is the maintenance to be performed by the dealer at this time?

I am also concerned because Seattle Mini seems to be a small dealership with an overbooked service department with one service advisor that never return your phone calls and they just have a girl taking appointments barely knowing what she is talking about.

I would guess they would do a brake fluid flush, replace the microfilter, coolant flush and oil change. If the JB+ is installed you will want to remove that before taking it in service to save yourself any issues with the car being under factory warranty. Plug it back in after your service visit.

What issues? It went for the first service when plugged in. I don't expect it will be a problem the second time.

The JB+ will void your engine warranty. Your best to remove it as it leaves no trace that it was installed if you have any engine faults.
