A Sound you Will Never Forget.

If you drive around the Denver area long enough, you will hear the sound of a starter that just clicks instead of revs up the engine as it has done hundreds of times. The grinding of a starter that goes bad is an unmistakable noise. The mechanics at The German Car Shoppe in suburban Littleton want to help you avoid that!

You may dodge that bullet for a time or two, but here are the early warning signs -

1.  A grinding or clicking when you try to start the engine.

2.  Smoke emanating from the vehicle.

3.  It happens intermittently.

4.  It engages, but the engine won’t turn over.

If you are able, get over to The German Car Shoppe located at 5115 S. Santa Fe Dr. in Littleton. Denver area residents have counted on their repair pros for decades…regardless of what they are driving. The German Car Shoppe is adept at getting you back on the road ASAP after diagnosing the problem. Always call (303) 798-2287 if you can make an appointment. It is not surprising that their website is found at thegermancarshoppe.com.

O2 Oh My!

Your car’s O2 sensor is very important, and if it goes bad you will need a professional mechanic to look at the situation. Whether it is a German car or not, a great place to go to have it checked is The German Car Shoppe of Littleton. Denver area drivers know they can trust The German Car Shoppe to troubleshoot O2 problems with your vehicle.

What is an O2 sensor anyway? It is a measurement device that discerns the difference between the external air (which can be quite chilly in the Denver area these days) and the exhaust gas emitted from your car. It is programmed to change voltage depending on the difference between the two temps.

All in all, it can be complicated, and the professional mechanics at The German Car Shoppe know what to do. The German Car Shoppe services vehicles of all makes and models from its shop located at 5115 S. Santa Fe Dr. in the Denver suburb of Littleton. Call them for an appointment at (303) 798-2287.
