Why European Cars Demand Specialized Service

When it comes to maintaining and servicing European cars, it's vital to remember that not all vehicles are created equal. Sure, you could go to any old mechanic, but if you want your baby running like a dream, you'll need to find a specialty mechanic who knows the ins and outs of these unique automobiles.

Give your European car the special treatment it deserves - take it to a specialty mechanic for maintenance and service.

Specialized Knowledge and Expertise

European vehicles have unique features and are made with different materials and parts compared to their American or Asian counterparts. Technicians like those at Europro Automotive in Spokane Valley are ASE and factory certified to stay up to date on new technology. Europro Automotive also has specialized tools and diagnostic equipment designed specifically for European vehicles.

Preventative Maintenance

Because European cars are designed differently than American vehicles — with distinct parts and higher levels of engineering and technology — their maintenance needs to be approached with a preventative mindset. A perfect example: An overwhelming majority of European car manufacturers prefer standard shift transmissions which come with the need for regular clutch maintenance. And then there’s the elaborate steering and suspension systems designed for precision driving. The pneumatic suspension on Audi Allroads, VW Touaregs, Porsche Cayennes and other newer European vehicles that allow drivers to glide down the road and hug corners requires special care and attention to proper operation.

Cost Savings

While taking your European vehicle to a specialty mechanic may seem more expensive than going to a general mechanic, it can actually save you money in the long run. A specialist can diagnose and fix problems quickly, avoiding costly repairs down the road. Europro Vice President Brandon Osusky makes the point that tasks as seemingly mundane as brake jobs and oil changes on European vehicles have unconventional parts and service requirements.

Access to OEM Parts

European vehicles require specialized parts and materials to keep them running at their best. A specialty mechanic has access to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, ensuring manufacturers specifications are being respected. As Osusky points out, European cars are intricate machines and only the OEM parts can restore your car fully to its original state.

Peace of Mind

Bringing your European car to a specialized mechanic for maintenance and service ensures that your beloved vehicle is in skilled hands. With this, you can rest assured that your car is receiving top-notch care, and any problems will be diagnosed and resolved promptly and competently the first time so you can get back to having fun behind the wheel.
