| Luxury vehicle expertise | ✔ BMW, MB, Audi… | ✔ Own brand only | ✘ Often limited |
| Same-day service | ✔ Typically 1 hr | ✘ Days to weeks | ~ Varies |
| Upfront pricing | ✔ Always | ~ After diagnosis | ✘ Bait-and-switch risk |
| No subcontractors | ✔ Guaranteed | ✔ Dealer staff | ✘ Often outsourced |
| All-keys-lost — no original | ✔ Done on-site | ✔ At dealer only | ✘ Usually not possible |
