Give Me a Valve Job to Go.


Say what?  What constitutes a valve job in your German owned car?  It might sound a bit weird, but it is an important major step of automotive maintenance.  The reason is that most engines will last at least 80,000 miles before you might even need a valve job.  How can you tell when that time has come?

The condition of your engine’s cylinder head valves can have a significant impact on your vehicle’s performance. The valves take a lot of abuse from the extreme conditions in which they operate.  As mileage increases, your valves’ performance degrades from heat and wear.  This can cause your engine to experience lower compression and higher oil consumption.

Cleaning the valves is often an option.  After the valves are cleaned, the valve seats and everything else under the cylinder head should be inspected simultaneously.  That’s where we come in.  We are The German Car Shoppe…valve job professional mechanics serving Denver.  Call (303) 798-2287 for an appointment at our shop located at 5115 Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.
