It Sounds Like Fingernails on a Chalkboard.

It’s that annoying squeal of your car’s brakes going bad that makes you cringe.  Frankly, most of us know them when we see/hear them, but we try to say to ourselves…”they’ll last a while longer.”  Frankly that could be a dangerous conclusion.  Your brakes are your vehicle’s most important safety device.

Don’t ignore these signs –

1.  Simple one…the brake light is on

2.  Grinding, squeaking, etc.

3.  Wobbling and vibration when braking

4.  Fluid is leaking

5.  A soft brake pedal when applying

There are more, but you pretty much know when it’s time to have your brakes inspected and maybe changed.  One of the best brake replacement and repair centers in the Denver area is located at 5115 S. Santa Fe Drive.  It’s the home of The German Car Shoppe.  Foreign or domestic, trust your brakes to The German Car Shoppe.  Just call (303) 798-2287.

The Marvelous Valvetronic System.

What is the valvetronic system in your BMW and how does it work?  It is described as a variable valve lift system that in combination with variable valve timing that allows infinite adjustment of the intake valve timing and its duration.  So, why did BMW add this early in the 21st century?

Well, it is meant to improve fuel economy and emissions, and negates the need for a throttle body which is a tube containing a pivoting flat valve that is used to control the amount of air entering your engine.  It was first introduced in the BMW 316ti compact back in 2001.

It’s yet another of the dozens of reasons why you chose to drive a BMW around the Denver area.  Where to go for service on your luxury car’s valvetronic system is The German Car Shoppe…of course!  The German Car Shoppe is located at 5115 S. Santa Fe Drive in the Denver suburb of Littleton.  Call for an appointment at (303) 798-2287.
