A Smart Key in a German Car.

We have come a long way from the traditional key that opens doors and starts cars. Today, The Smart key is a fully computerized. It uses chips and sensors to open the doors of your German vehicle without the use of physical keys. It is just part of the system that we keep in working order here at The German Car Shoppe here in Littleton, CO.

Smart keys also start the engine by simply pressing the ignition button located right next to the steering column. These days, the tailgate gets lifted by waving a foot underneath the rear bumper, making it convenient to load baggage when your hands are filled with groceries or other things.

This is all quite obvious, but what may not be is how often simple things such as these can go wrong leading to frustration. When you need any service on your German owned vehicle in the Denver area you have one obvious choice…The German Car Shoppe, located at 5115 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, CO. Just call (303) 798-2287 or visit thegermancarshoppe.com.

Check Both Sides of Your Car’s Heating System.

Yes, it is about that time in the Denver area when we go from summer temperatures to a cold night that comes out of nowhere. You may have one of the newer heating and cooling systems, involving separate driver and passenger side thermostats. The German Car Shoppe of Littleton wants to make sure that they are working in proper order.

The heating system of your vehicle is run by a rather small part known as the heater core. Just like an old-timey radiator it creates heat for the passenger cabin during cold weather by diverting heated radiator fluid through the heater core. It then disperses the heat in front of a fan, which blows it through your car’s duct work into its cabin.

It all sounds rather basic, but if you suspect something may be amiss before heat becomes a necessity in your vehicle, then make an appointment at The German Car Shoppe, located conveniently at 5115 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, CO. For vehicles in the Denver area, count on The German Car Shoppe. Visit their website at thegermancarshoppe.com for a full view of their automotive services.
