Proper Maintenance of European Cars

Maintenance is #1 to any machine. Proper maintenance to modern cars is absolutely essential.

Essential Maintenance

Performing the essential maintenance with the right fluids designed for the vehicle is an absolute must.

Naturally we do have a plethora of pictures of vehicles where the wrong fluids were used or maintenance was performed late. The damage is caused by it, could get really expensive to correct.

Here is a partially encrusted AMG engine with too late oil changes and wrong oil has been used to top up the oil level. It will have dire consequences in the long term.

Engine Oils & Manufacturer’s Recommendations

Let me explain please: If you use an oil in your car other than that specifically recommended by the manufacturer you will cause major damage to very expensive components in your car’s engine.

Today’s engines are designed and engineered with a specific way hence their manufacturer engine specific approvals, which may or may not similar to the oils being sold at retail stores.

The old viscosity and API approvals are long gone. Most manufacturers are very strict in their own special (concoction) a special chemical composition which is by itself is literally a science.

All this effort is being put into the goal to reduce friction, pumping losses and minimize engine wear on today’s super efficient but fragile engines.

On a high performance, AMG engine, one improper oil change can result in thousands of dollars worth of damage.

The other picture is a Mini Cooper S with a major and massive cooling system failure. Wrong fluid used to top the cooling system up, which caused a complete cooling system failure. The entire cooling system needed to be repaired. It took considerable effort to minimize the damage. The water pipe and water pump essentially removed. All the hoses to be cleaned and flushed multiple times.

Modern high tech European cars are designed with very vehicle specific lubricants. Fluids with an exact chemical composition are essential to have your fine car last and perform as intended.

Automobile Maintenance

Automobile maintenance defined by Wikipedia as: Auto maintenance describes the act of inspecting or testing the condition of car subsystems (e.g., engine) and servicing or replacing parts and fluids.

Regular maintenance is critical to ensure the safety, reliability, drive ability, comfort and longevity of a car. During preventive maintenance, a number of parts are replaced to avoid major damage or for safety reasons, e.g. timing belt replacement.

Thank you Wikipedia, all that above well said, but the question is the cost…

Does European import car’s maintenance cost a lot of money?

Sure it, does but cost a lot less than a new engine. Don’t you think?

We can prove maintenance pays dividends in the long term. With our no non sense regular maintenance you can maximize your car’s life.

Extending your investment beyond the average life expectancy of most fine European cars giving you years of reliable transportation.

A well maintained car, car engine, can go a half a million kilometers?, if looked after regularly.

Than there are the not so well maintained cars and engines, to keep those running cost much more the regular maintenance would cost.

The pictures speak of themselves. It’s your choice, it is your money, your car and your investment.

Took a little while to write this but here it is... a few months back my husband had an issue with his 2007 HONDA, would not start, seemed like a battery issue but was not as we changed to a new one and still the same problem. Called Atilla at Techmax with the off chance that he would be able to look at it as our normal car guy was not around and we had taken our Mini to Techmax previously and were very happy with the service. Unfortunately, Techmax was closing for a 2 week vacation in the next couple of hours. Atilla asked if we could explain the issue to him over the phone which we did and he diagnosed the issue told us over the phone how to fix it, thank gawd my husband is a little handy, and 30 minutes later our car was fixed. I am sure that had it been any other shop they would have charged us some type of diagnostic fees +++. Atilla saved us a tow, $ on issue resolution and time. Super happy with these guys once again!!! ***** Looks like all our cars are going to be serviced by Techmax if Attila is willing to take on HONDAs. LOL! But for sure going back for BMW and Mini needs.

Okay so Google only allows one review per user and unfortunately I must replace my previous 5 star review with the following… Attila, Tony and the Techmax team continue to shine. I was having turbo boost issues with my diesel 2012 BMW X5 and of course I was fearing the worst. They discovered it was simply a leak in the boost pipe. Unfortunately that part would have to be back-ordered but Attila promptly found a quality used one for a very reasonable price. Problem solved. I also requested 4 new tires to be installed along with the 4 wheel alignment that Attila highly recommends. To be honest I cannot recall my ride quality ever being this good. Finally, they cleaned my injectors and replaced the thermostat. The throttle response now is unlike it’s ever been and combined with that low end, full boost torque, it just makes me giggle every time! ? Thanks again guys. Always a pleasure and I’m looking forward to my next service appointment!

Atilla and Tony are fantastic. No nonsense professionals. You want the best, you'll be paying for it but always fair and straight forward. Way better than going to the dealer. I trust their work.
