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.

The Diagnosis Is…

Don’t hold your breath or live with uncertainty.   If you’ve got a 'Check Engine' light on your dash, staring at you the natural knee-jerk reaction is to wonder what it means.  You, of course, wonder how much it will cost you to fix.  Then you may think can I fix it myself…if only you knew what it meant!

The Check Engine light on your car is both useful and infuriating at the same time.  You know something is wrong (that’s a good thing, right?), but you don’t know what it is exactly.  The light could be an indication that there is a serious problem like a major engine issue, or it could be something as simple as just tightening your gas cap.

Just get it diagnosed, already!  If you want it done professionally, completely, and accurately trust the mechanics at The German Car Shoppe of Littleton, CO.  Whether your vehicle is German made or not the right choice for automobile diagnosis in the greater Denver area is The German Car Shoppe.  You may make an appointment by calling (303) 798-2287.
