4 Ways to Keep you European Car Working Great

Stephane Grabina • April 29, 2020

When you need service done to your European car, you need to take it to a mechanic that has years of experience working with European automobiles. European vehicles, as you know, require special care. Here at Excluservice , we provide residents of Rockville, Bethesda, and Washington, DC the professional auto repair and maintenance they need to keep their vehicle working great.

European vehicles have many more nuances to their mechanics than other vehicles, and it can often take years of special training to be fully proficient at the care and maintenance of these vehicles. While you should always have a professional do work on your European car, here are 4 tips for keeping it working the way it as meant to:

#1 – Know Your Tools

Using the right tools is very important when servicing a European-made car. Visiting a shop like Excluservice is how to ensure that the appropriate tools are being used on your vehicle. We also have the latest computer-aided diagnostic tools available to us to ensure that we are pinpointing the cause of any issues you may be having.

Repairs should be fast and accurate. Proper diagnosis, as well as the utilization of the correct tools for your vehicle, ensures a limited chance for costly mistakes and errors. No matter the year, make, or model of your vehicle, going to an auto mechanic that uses the appropriate tools ensures the longevity of your vehicle.

#2 – Certification

This one may be a bit of a no-brainer, but it is important to take your vehicle to a shop that is certified to service it. It can take many years to get the training for these certifications, so you can rest assured our mechanics are going to know the inner-workings of your car’s transmission and engine and be able to repair it appropriately.

#3 – The Correct Parts

It is important that the correct parts are used when replacing parts under the hood of your vehicle. A specialty auto repair shop will either have the part on hand or be able to source it for you quickly and at a lower cost than you would be able to do yourself.

When you use aftermarket parts for auto repairs, you not only run the risk of damaging your vehicle further, but you could also void the warranty if your car is still under warranty. It is important to ensure that you are using the appropriate parts when repairs are done to your vehicle.

#4 – Invest in Premium Gas

If you are looking to take your car to the shop less often – it is important to use premium gas if your car requires it. This will keep your car on the road and out of our garage – which means you get more time to truly enjoy the beauty of your vehicle.
