What Does your Car’s Heater Core Do?

If you drive around the Denver area in a high-end German car it contains a heater core under the hood. The heater core is actually a smaller version of a radiator that keeps the cabin of your vehicle warm and comfortable. The cooling system's hoses circulate liquid coolant through the heater core. It is risky to drive around with a faulty heater core.

Here is yet another reason why The German Car Shoppe of Littleton is here for you every day! A failing heater core can lead to overheating and extensive engine damage. Even if your heater core is clogged, it can prevent proper coolant circulation, causing your engine to run hot.

If you witness the internal temperature gauge going up and up as you drive around the Denver area, please make an appointment at The German Car Shoppe located at 5115 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. Just call (303) 798-2287. To take advantages of the many auto maintenance services that The German Car Shoppe offers take a look at thegermancarshoppe.com.

Why Should the Oil be Changed Regularly in Even a High-Performance Car?

You may drive a Porsche, an Audi, a BMW, a Mercedes, etc. and think that you never have to change your oil…WRONG! Even high-performance engines are vulnerable and need to be kept clean for maximum performance. Just as you trust The German Car Shoppe of Littleton for the heavy lifting, you can count on them for regular maintenance, such as an oil change.

Simply put, when your engine’s oil is dirty, it loses viscosity. What does that mean? Well, it requires the engine to work harder just to maintain the same speed, and as the engine works harder it consumes more fuel…not at these prices, thank you. So, keeping the oil changed like you're supposed to boosts performance in this important area.

The German Car Shoppe serves all vehicles in the Denver area…especially high-performance ones. When you need an oil change or other routine maintenance on your car, drive on over to The German Car Shoppe located at 5115 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. You can call ahead for an appointment at (303) 798-2287. Don’t forget to visit thegermancarshoppe.com.

When you Sense Something is Wrong.

When should you have your car’s O2 sensor replaced? These days modern car engines rely on input from several sensors to regulate the engine’s performance as well as its emissions and other vital functions. When something goes wrong with your vehicle’s oxygen sensor, count on The German Car Shop of Littleton to put it right.

FYI (in case you didn’t already know) the oxygen sensor monitors how much unburned oxygen is present in the exhaust as exhaust exits the engine of your German made car. The O2 sensor lets the computer know if the fuel mix is burning rich (meaning not enough oxygen) …or lean (that equals too much oxygen).

When you trust The German Car Shoppe of Littleton for all your maintenance and repair issues anywhere in the Denver area you do so with confidence! The German Car Shoppe is located at 5115 South Santa Fe Drive. They will be there when you need them. Their list of services is impressive. Just visit thegermancarshoppe.com.
