Keeping your Benz in Top Condition.

You invested a great deal into your Mercedes Benz, now you need to follow the scheduled maintenance of this beauty to keep it humming along for years to come.  If you follow the regular Mercedes Benz suggestions, you can drive around Denver’s highways and biways for a long time.  This is not a trade-in car…it is a keeper!

For example, most Mercedes Benz models do not require major maintenance until they hit 10,000 miles.  BUT, if you have an AMG model, you should get it serviced at just 2,000 miles.  Services are different for AMG Mercedes-Benz vehicles because these were originally a sub-brand of Mercedes.

There is much more to know about the care and maintenance of your Mercedes Benz.  That is why you always trust The German Car Shoppe.  They are the Denver area’s Mercedes Benz maintenance professionals.  Follow the plan and make an appointment at their shop located at 5115 S Santa Fe Dr in Littleton by calling (303) 798-2287.

Does Your A/C Compressor Need to be Replaced?

Most automotive A/C compressors give clear indicators of imminent failure or problems with lubricant levels through a series of sounds and mechanical issues. Determining the cause of the A/C compressor issue, and determining if the compressor requires replacement, is the job of a professional…especially if you own a German-made car.

Here are a few signs –

1.  We will troubleshoot with how the compressor behaves when it is turned on.

2.  A can of lubricant may be applied to quell the noise.

3.  We will check for leaks near the compressor and its fittings.

As we get ready for a change of seasons in the Denver area thousands of German car owners in the area know they can count on us.  We are aptly named The German Car Shoppe.  Have your a/c checked before the hot weather hits.  Make an appointment at our shop located at 5115 S Santa Fe Dr in Littleton by calling (303) 798-2287.  

Understanding the DCT.

So, what is this DCT thing?  It is the abbreviation for a dual-clutch transmission.  It is also known as a twin-clutch or double clutch.  It uses two separate clutches; one for odd and one for even gear sets.  In your German vehicle, think of it as two separate manual transmissions working within one housing as one unit.

Perhaps a more technical explanation may be that A dual-clutch transmission eliminates the torque converter as used in conventional epicyclic-geared automatic transmissions.  Just to give you a sense of history, the first series road production of the DCT was in the 2003 Volkswagen Golf.

Enough already!  We just want you to know that at Denver’s premier German Auto Repair facility we know every inch of your German car.  To keep your prized possession in tip-top condition give us a call for all of your maintenance needs at (303) 798-2287.  You’ll find us conveniently located at 5115 S Santa Fe Dr in Littleton.

Owning a Pre-owned Luxury Car.

Nothing…we mean nothing holds up, looks better, and gives you more pleasure than a beautiful used (new to you) Mercedes!  When you go shopping for a new ride, why not consider a used Mercedes rather than a brand-new domestic model.  We think you may be glad you did, and not only can we show you some models, but service them as well.

Here are some things you need to know about owning a used luxury car –

1.  It is cheaper than you might think. 

2.  The less the initial cost, the more repairs that will probably be needed.

3.  They are easy to repair…if you know the right people.

4.  It is simply better than most cars on the road today.

We invite you to visit our lot located at 5115 S Santa Fe Dr in Littleton, CO and take a look at our inventory.  We are The German Car Shoppe and we take great pride in not only offering Denver’s best German car service, but some great used models for sale as well.  Come on in or give us a call for a service appointment at (303) 798-2287.
