Warm it Up…or Not.

In the dead of winter (like now), the common wisdom for people who drive their German cars around the Denver area is that when you are gearing up to take your vehicle out in the cold and snow, you should step outside, start up your engine, and let it idle to warm up. contrary to popular belief, this does not prolong the life of your engine; in fact, it may well decrease it!

The explanation is this…When your engine is cold, the gasoline is less likely to evaporate. It needs to have the correct ratio of air and vaporized fuel for combustion. Engines with electronic fuel injection have sensors that compensate for the cold by pumping more gasoline into the mixture. Gasoline is an outstanding solvent that can actually wash oil off of your engine.

When you have engine problems in the Denver area you can always count on The German Car Shoppe located in Littleton. They will analyze your car and repair or replace what is needed without doing any unnecessary work. You can trust The German Car Shoppe with your finely-tuned engine. Visit thegermancarshoppe.com and call for an appointment (303) 798-2287.

Come to Denver to Dream.

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? It seems that it is the least 2020 can do for us. Believe it or not, there is barely more than a one-third chance that there will be one inch or more of snowfall on the ground on Christmas day in and around Denver. Of course, if snow is your thing, you know that the white stuff is always just a short drive away.

How many of you were around here in 1982? On that morning of December 25th, the people of our mile-high city awoke to a 24-inch snow depth! That seems to be overkill…just a few inches would suffice. Surprisingly, over the last three decades Denver has received measurable snowfall on Christmas Day only seven times.

Whatever this season may bring, we may be comforted by being one step closer to the end of a rather problematic 2020. One thing is for sure, no matter what challenges befall us The German Car Shoppe is always there at 5115 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton to keep your Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen on the road. Merry Christmas from the families of The German Car Shoppe to you and yours.
