Preventative Maintenance Tailored For Your Vehicle's Specific Needs
At The German Auto Doctor, we know that European imports have very specific requirements when it comes to preventative maintenance. While frequent visits to have various components serviced can be a lot to keep up with, we can take the headache out of that for you by helping you to schedule regular preventative maintenance for your specific model’s needs.
Below are some model-specific examples to give you an idea:
- Porsche – Porsche vehicles need a lot of regular checks to maintain those amazing performance levels, although two items that get checked the most regularly are your oil and your tires. It’s kind of a must with a high-performance engine in a vehicle that everyone wants to drive a LOT, but we’ve done our homework so that you won’t have to and we can make sure your Porsche is taken care of!
- Volkswagen – At 10,000 miles your Volkswagen won’t need much checked. You’re usually looking at an oil and oil filter replacement, an AdBlue fluid check, an Airbag system and wiper blade inspection, and a Headlight cleaning system inspection. Volkswagens really don’t need a lot of attention most of the time, but routine maintenance is a MUST to keep it that way.
- Audi – With an Audi, your 5 most important checks really boil down to regular inspection of the brake systems, oil and oil filter replacement, Cooling system maintenance, Transmission inspection, and maintaining your tires. There’s certainly more to it, but these are the core 5 that you’ve really got to keep an eye on – and we will.
Full-Service Repair You Can Rely On
Dings, scratches, and full-on fender benders can really cramp your style and if you’re using a shop that doesn’t know your vehicle, then you might be off the road a lot longer than you’d like. At The German Auto Doctor your vehicle is a specialty of ours, so we’ll be able to get to the root of the problem and make your vehicle beautiful and whole again with a quickness.
Below you’ll find some examples of some of the most common repairs we do all the time and to keep it simple, we’ll use the 3 European brands from our previous example:
- Porsche – The AOS – short for Air Oil Separator – is there to separate oil from the gasses in your Porsche’s crankcase and when there’s a problem, you’re definitely going to notice. Symptoms like white smoke, seal failures, oil leaks, and sudden problems with the emission system may often be from an AOS issue. We’re well aware of little issues like this and more that may occur with your Porsche.
- Volkswagen – As well-engineered as they are, if your Volkswagen is suddenly misfiring, losing power, idling rough, or just making odd, new sounds, then it might well be a timing chain issue. Some Volkswagen models have a known issue with timing chains, such as a few of the 2012 – 2014 model Beetle convertibles, some Passat Sedans from 2008-2010, and a handful of Jetta 2009 sports wagons.
- Audi – One of the most common issues with Audi that we get are electrical issues. Problems with erratic lights, digital dashboard display, and the Audi’s console are something that we deal with often. As such, The German Auto Doctor can fix those electrical glitches with a quickness that you simply won’t find anywhere else!
