Bentley Repair in Simi Valley

Expert Bentley Preventative Maintenance and Repair in Simi Valley

Bentley vehicles have an uncompromising approach to luxury, quality, and performance that really has to be experienced to be fully understood. To put it in a nutshell, there’s a reason that people have been coveting these cars and trucks since 1919!

That kind of precision engineering needs a specialized level of care and at The German Auto Doctor, we’re happy and waiting to provide it.

Located in Simi Valley, California, The German Auto Doctor offers premier European auto repair and preventative maintenance and since that’s all we do, we’re both prepared and experienced when it comes to your Bentley.

Let’s take a look at some of the service offerings that we can provide to help keep your Bentley running at its best!

Preventative Maintenance To Keep Your Bentley Primed And Pristine

With a fine vehicle like a Bentley, you want to make sure that your performance is never compromised and that your investment in this luxury vehicle is kept as pristine and perfect as possible. Below you’ll find some examples of preventative maintenance that your Bentley requires to give you an idea of the proper upkeep we can help to provide:

  • Tire maintenance and rotation — Proper air pressure in your tires seems like a small detail, but it directly affects performance, handling, and your mileage. With a Bentley, you want to get that checked every 5000 miles. This is a little more frequently than most vehicles, but then a Bentley definitely doesn’t fall into the ‘most vehicles’ category!
  • Periodic health checks – many modern Bentley’s have an OBD-II port, short for ‘onboard diagnostics’, that allow us to do a little additional health-checking from time to time to get ahead of any potential issues. We know this and will certainly take advantage of this edge, applying years of expertise to the results to help keep potentially nasty surprises at bay.
  • Fluid checks – Topping off fluids is standard for any vehicle, but with Bentley’s especially you’re going to have model-specific recommendations that will be vital to maximizing your mileage and protecting your investment. We won’t apply a ‘one size fits all’ approach to your Bentley, because that simply won’t do for these vehicles.

Full-Service Repair From Experts Who Know Bentley Vehicles

Bentley cars and their newer truck models need an expert hand to repair and maintain. While a ‘general’ mechanic might be able to fix a thing or two, you want someone working on your vehicle who knows the design of that model and brings actual experience with it to the table.

Below are some examples of common repair issues that we deal with on a regular basis with Bentley vehicles:

  • Continental GT issues – With some models, like the Continental GT, you’re dealing with an engine compartment that is extremely organized and compact – there’s not a lot of room to work with at all, so it is vital that your mechanic knows the design by heart. At The German Auto Doctor, this sort of thing is everyday for us, but someone who has not worked with one of these vehicles could do a lot of damage!
  • Air suspension issues – That trademark ‘glide of a ride’ that your Bentley provides is the result of a complex suspension system. If it feels like your Bentley is sitting a little low in the front or you notice any other suspension oddities, then it needs to be addressed soon before it can cause wear and tear in other areas.
  • Electric window issues – With some Bentley models, electric window problems do tend to pop up from time to time. Rather than a warning light, you’ll often hear a hissing sound when a window problem is in its infancy, and if you get it to us then we can get it fixed before you end up with a window stuck down in the rain!

The German Auto Doctor Bentley FAQs

Do Bentleys require more maintenance than other vehicles?

With the exception of the Continental GT, which needs a little extra care, most Bentley’s won’t require more maintenance than other vehicles. It’s just a matter of model-specific checks that need to be done, but the maintenance frequency won’t feel very different on your end at all!

Do Bentley’s really use more oil than most other vehicles?

Bentley’s require more engine and motor oil when you get an oil change, which has to do with the larger tanks that are part of the design. The amount that you need will depend on the model, but we can tell you right away what to expect with your own Bentley.

Why should I choose The German Auto Doctor for my preventative maintenance and repair needs?

At The German Auto Doctor, European vehicles are our specialty, and this makes a huge difference in the time it takes to get you back on the road and how much you’ll spend. While a generalized mechanic might be able to fix an issue, if they are unfamiliar with your import then there is no guarantee you’ll be getting your issue fixed right the first time and any ‘experimentation’ they need to do is going to show up on your bill.

We work with these vehicles each and every day, so we’re going to know what they need and what’s more, what your specific model needs. Give us a call or stop in sometime and you can see for yourself first hand – we look forward to earning your business!
