Rolls-Royce Motors of Goodwood, UK., is a storied brand of British motorcar that is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMW Group. Owned by the German automaker since 1998, it has been the exclusive manufacturer of Rolls-Royce motor cars since 2003. Although the company has been building cars since 1906, in years prior to 2003, the automaker’s ownership was fraught with confusion due to Rolls-Royce PLC (maker of aircraft engines) selling the rights, designs, and nameplates to Volkswagen AG, while at the same time selling the Rolls-Royce name and logo to BMW AG. Eventually a deal was struck that gave Volkswagen the Bentley brand, with BMW receiving the Rolls-Royce brand.

Just because your Rolls-Royce lives in the Ultra Luxury segment doesn’t mean it is a super car in every other respect. It still need and deserves respect and servicing like every other vehicle on the road. This simple act leads to years and miles of driving pleasure.

Rolls-Royce Maintenance Guidelines

Condition Based Servicing System

All modern Rolls-Royce vehicles incorporate parent company BMW’s Condition Based Servicing System which uses sensors and algorithms to determine when the car’s oil lifespan has been reached. It also tracks other vehicle parameters, such as brake pads, fluids and more to keep you ahead of the curve as far as Rolls-Royce vehicle maintenance is concerned. Using Rolls-Royce TeleService, data will be transmitted to Rolls-Royce and your local dealership will call to arrange an appointment.

Rolls-Royce Service Inclusive

Every new Rolls-Royce vehicle comes with a 4-year/unlimited mileage factory warranty, known as Rolls-Royce Service Inclusive. For the first four years, Rolls-Royce will cover the costs of all maintenance issues including oil changes, engine and cabin air filters, spark plugs, tire rotations, brake pads and disc replacement, windshield wiper replacement, and more. Roadside service and other extras are part of the included warranty package.

Extended Warranty and Maintenance Plans

For an additional length of time as well as piece of mind, buyers of new Rolls-Royce vehicles can extend the factory warranty by a length of time ranging from an extra two, three or five years. Through this added price program and the individual terms, buyers will have 24-hour/365-day-a-year roadside support with towing, and “onward mobility” options, which we assume to mean trip interruption coverage. They will also receive digital map updates, vehicle updates and both passive and active emergency call abilities. The plan is also transferable to a subsequent buyer.

Rolls-Royce Provenance also offers a warranty for its certified pre-owned vehicles. Following an extensive inspection and subsequent approval by Rolls-Royce trained specialists, Provenance vehicles are repaired or refurbished as needed, and road tested so they drive as well as the day they first drove off the Goodwood assembly line. As a result, and depending on the vehicle age, new owners will receive one or two years of servicing and warranty, along with roadside assistance. Prices depend on the model and are agreed upon at the point of sale.
