Your Car’s Condenser.

We want you to be educated about your car’s climate control system…especially with summer arriving.  The compressor is the power unit of your vehicle’s air-conditioning system that puts the refrigerant under high pressure before it pumps it into the condenser, where it then changes from a gas to a liquid. 

A fully functioning compressor is necessary for the air-conditioning system to provide peak performance.  In most cars, A/C compressors are driven by an engine-accessory belt.  If the belt is worn, the compressor won’t operate at full strength. Compressors can also leak refrigerant, resulting in less cold air going into the interior.  Internal parts can also fail equaling no cold air.

At The German Car Shoppe we know that you can’t face a Denver area summer without a fully functional air conditioning system in your German or domestic vehicle.  Before things really heat up in our area, make an appointment at The German Car Shoppe for an a/c check-up by calling (303) 798-2287.  You’ll find us at 5115 Santa Fe Dr. in Littleton.

It’s Your Mercedes First Birthday!

Your Mercedes IS a bit like your child isn’t it.  And…just like a human baby it needs some TLC during and at its one-year anniversary.  If you care about your Benz as much as we do, you have consulted your owner’s manual and know exactly what a qualified Mercedes mechanic needs to do by the one-year mark.

Here are some reminders –

1.  Have the oil and filter changed.

2.  Clean and drain the air/water duct.

3.  Check the thickness of the brake pads.

4.  Correct the tire pressure.

5.  Adjust the cable slack on the parking brakes.

There are others, of course which are all part of the one-year maintenance of your Mercedes vehicle.  No one in the Denver area is better qualified to execute ALL of the steps than The German Car Shoppe.  They are located at 5115 Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.  Make an appointment for your Mercedes’ annual maintenance by calling (303) 798-2287.
