BMW & Mercedes Benz Preventative Maintenance

Timely maintenance is ever more important today than ever before, due to highly complex vehicle architecture in today’s high tech automobiles.

There is a lot of frustration and money can be saved by performing timely proper maintenance. Being many occasion model, or engine specific before bigger issues develop as the result of disservice or neglect.

Late Model Diesel Mercedes

Most late model modern diesels should have a regular carbon cleaning. Therefore at later stage, extensive scrub and clean procedure performed to keep everything working in optimal performance. However have over two decades of proven record of keeping this cars work for long periods after purchase.

Remember it’s your investment, if you shrug it off it will cost more to correct later.

BMW Mercedes Diagnostics Test

Our clients ask us often: Do we charge for diagnostics?

Issues with BMW that no Diagnostics Test Would Find Out

In short yes we do, but let me explain. There are 3 perfect examples of modern BMW, Mercedes issues which no scanner would ever find out, no matter where it was made or designed .

Case number one is a well maintained BMW X3 with random misfire, at idle only and only intermittently. At first we checked all the usual culprits like fuel and spark management. Just to be sure we checked again. We found everything in working order. The only thing left out is air management.

N52 BMW engine is Operated by Valvetronic System

The air gets in when the valve opens. There has been no misfire at cold start only. But as the engine started to slow down after cold start, the misfire would return.

This N52 BMW engine is operated by valvetronic system. It starts with a maximum lift of 8.5 mm of all the valves to aid in starting, then will reduce the valve lift to a single valve only to 0.3 mm .

Knowing how the system works is job#1. After shutting down the engine it goes into maximum lift, therfore when we disconnected the hall sensor for the valvetronic, she reverts back to regular engine operation by using the throttle body.

There was a smooth idle in that case which confirmed there is an air management issue at hand. Before going to check the eccentric shaft or rocker we removed the intake manifold to inspect the inlet port. Than we found a broken flap embedded in the intake port, blocking the air path into #6 cylinder hence the misfire issue at idle only.

A Seized Turbo Charger

The second case was a seized turbo charger pin to the wastegate where the owner got quoted 3 thousand to replace. It took a little effort and some time to unseize the pin. We lubed it, tested it. Passed the test and 3 thousand dollars is saved by checking the wastegate operation.

Case #3; The Lamborghini Aventador at above, wouldn’t start. Started with a low voltage issue which prompted a battery replacement. After all it was caused by the hydraulic pump which issue is promptly fixed and car is back on the road. Check our Facebook out for more Lamborghini’s photos.

This 3 examples I brought up, just to show you; We don’t charge for diagnostics, we charge for knowledge.

How can I keep my BMW running well for a long time?

The secret of keeping your car longer than average is in your hands. We often get the question how can I keep my car running well for a long time? Well it’s all about the maintenance and proper care of your vehicle. This apply for any cars, not just only for BMW.

We currently own a 2006 325-i with 406876 kms and running just fine. How’s that possible? The secret is regular maintenance and addressing issues before they escalate into an expensive repair.

This particular vehicle belonged to one of our loyal client, he drove it to 330 thousand kilometers without any major repairs, except we have done oil change at every ten thousand kilometers since 60 thousand kilometers onward. Also serviced the automatic transmission regularly at every hundred thousand kilometer. She still has it’s original automatic transmission, and its still works well. Naturally we use exclusively German made oils and fluids to keep components well lubricated for decades to come.

The funny part is, the manufacturer BMW never thought she will last this long as the service reminder refused to reset after 350 thousand kilometers.

This 325-i is in our fleet as a daily driver to randomly pick up small parts or supplies from our vendors.

Exotic Sport Cars in Our Shop

Lamborghinis At Techmax Auto Repair Inc .

Check us out on Facebook for more photos.

Finally spring is here, and exotic sport cars coming out of hibernation, if you ever wondered, yes we do service some of this automotive jewels.

We just recently had an Aventador which had an oil change prior at a quiet substantial price. According to the client cost him $1300.00 after all said and done unfortunately almost lost his engine as the oil filter has been left loose.

Owner noticed some drips under the car, lucky him being so attentive coming in early, just saved he’s V12 engine. The URUS had it’s first maintenance she is 2019 and sounds just as looks, fantastic.

The Urus is naturally related to Porsche and Audi with an Italian twist and the engine is the new hot V design with reversed cylinder heads and massive turbos in the middle.

The handling and the performance of the Urus is at elevated levels so is the sound true to it’s heritage as every Lamborghini is.

When the “bull ” is on the run you will need serious and special skills to tame it. It’s worth to note on this ultra high performance cars you must increase their maintenance for instance brake fluid flush should be performed every year due to elevated brake temperature if the vehicle is driven as intended.

The same applies for the yearly oil changes and for instance with the Urus one must use 508.00 specific synthetic motor oil as specified by the manufacturer as there is a serious reason for it.

Modern motor oils are engineered specifically to their manufacturers engine. All the special European oil approvals (ACEA ) and the manufacturers approval should be followed closely. This is no longer is just a simple oil change as it used to be.

We teamed up with a well known German tuner Noelle (Karl Otto Noelle whom used to be an Alpina engine builder). Currently we are the only Canadian Noelle authorized dealer north of the border.

Why did we choose Noelle? The experience and know how is the main reason, furthermore there are no data has been falsified, no add on or dubious parts added, no cutting, splicing, no messing with the factory installation required. It’s only meant to enhance and work together with all the other components, like transmission and active differential and stability control system unlike most other piggy back add on systems.

When all said and done a late model F90 – M5 will make 850 horsepower and 740 pound feet of torque, literally a 151 horsepower shy of the Bugatti Veyron at a fraction of the cost of the Bugatti. Also you can sit five people in the M5 comfortably, which can’t be said by most other cars in the same league.

The best part, it’s a clean effortless upgrade, and it’s emission legal as well. Noelle is so confident in their software enhancement, they will overwrite the remaining warranty on your BMW as long as you have it maintained on a revised more rigorous maintenance schedule at Techmax Auto Repair Inc. with specific oils and fluids to ensure drive train performance and longevity, even at the revised elevated performance.
