Annual check up... what's done?

My service center is telling me that all that is done is to change the oil and I was wondering if anyone can confirm this?

Thanks in advance.

Annual check? Versus a mileage count...?
What's the previous service history on the vehicle?
How many miles on the car?

My wife's car was due for her servicing at 15,000 miles and my car was within 1000 miles so they went ahead and changed the oil because we live 150 miles from the closest dealership. They still need to fix a few things on my car and when I called to inquire about ordered parts and any additional services I was told the oil change is all that is done. I would think that there would be a number of things that are done every 15,000 miles so any help would be appreciated. The biggest problem is that we are surrounded by rough "chip 'n seal" roads and my rear seats make noises on bumps and I have a buzz in the B pillar that I can't get to (I think it is glass behind the driver). Thanks.

You get a free oil change once a year or when the computer asks for it. First major service ie tune up isnt till 30k.

If you are having trouble with the car, tell them. They won't seek out the problems unless u point them out.

When my first service (as called for by the OBC) was done, I got an oil change, all fluids were topped off, air filter changed, cabin filter changed, windshield wiper blades changed. I didn't have to ask for any of it to be done.

If you are getting the free oil change that MINI will do at one year (because you haven't hit the mileage yet), then I think they do limit it to just an oil change.
