European Auto Repair

Auto Repair for European Brands

European cars are both high-performing and luxurious, all at once. Most of the European automobiles out there, both the sports car and the less flashy types, are all exquisitely designed, yet perform just as well on the road. From Germany’s Mercedes to Britain’s Aston Martin, Italy’s Ferrari, and lots more, it’s clear Europe’s car industry is a force to be reckoned with.

Other worthy mentions include Audi, Porsche, Volvo, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Volkswagen, Alpha Romeo, Bugatti, Peugeot, and Renault. That’s a pretty cool list made up of some of the most elegant and comfortable rides out there.

Why You Should Only Trust a Specialist in European Cars with Your Auto Repair Needs

This isn’t just about the price of the cars, although that is a good enough reason. Most of these European cars are high-end and expensive. You shouldn’t leave it in the hands of just any mechanic, only one that is trained and knowledgeable about these cars should fix them.

Here are more reasons to convince you of this fact:

Most of the luxurious models from European automobiles come fully equipped with some state-of-the-art tech features. Some of these features include LED Adaptive Driving Beam System, Forward Emergency Braking, Dynamic Digital Suspension, and Radar Blind Spot Detection.

A trained technician in European cars knows what these features do and how to fix them if something goes wrong. And to fix them, they must have to figure out what is wrong with them in the first place. Another thing only an expert can do. It’s even more important to entrust this task to an expert as there’s a higher chance of an error being made by a less-qualified technician here.

Special means so many things here. First, they’re designed to have better features, control, handling, and performance. Also, they require special features in the form of specialized tools and skills. The vehicles are designed differently so it’s expected that only certain tools can be used on them.

Without these tools, not even a European mechanic can fix certain issues with the car. As for the skills, even with the right tools, you will need someone with the technical know-how and expertise to use them and service the car appropriately.

It’s not just their looks or price tags that are unique. This is a bit of a slippery slope because as the features are unique, so are the problems. With all that high-tech flowing around in them, electrical problems are rather unavoidable.

Common electrical problems in European cars

Lately, manufacturers of European vehicles are using similar electronic designs and protocols across various makes and models. So, you can expect to find similar problems in these vehicles. This includes:

As opposed to the more traditional lead-acid batteries, most new European cars use AGM batteries. These are more durable and have high cycling resistance. However, they require specialized treatment including charging and reprogramming the computer control system to work with them. All these boils down to an auto mechanic with specialized skills and equipment.

Just like the typical electronic automobile features that make a closed circuit, some areas are subject to interruptions in the circuit. This could be due to wrong wiring, faulty connections, or a blown fuse. With European luxury performance vehicles, this is an issue that could occur in places such as the doors and trunk hinges.

These parts of the vehicle have wire harnesses that pass through them and the constant movement could deteriorate the insulation resulting in these short-circuit issues. An expert in European auto repair is likely to use precise equipment to detect voltage drops to pinpoint the source of the issue and fix it.

European cars are fine pieces of machinery that are often optimized for high performance. That doesn’t sound like much of an issue, and it isn’t. Unfortunately, it can have some effects that are less than desirable. The high-performance nature of these vehicles is why the fuel pump is often given special care during routine maintenance and repairs. If there’s an issue with it, the engine could fail to start or even go off while driving. Experts in European cars can diagnose and fix the issue.

Auto Repair for European Brands

When the subject of European automobiles comes up, a few words are commonly used, such as elegant, high-performance, luxurious, etc. That all sounds great, but there’s another very important aspect – auto repair. European sports cars, muscle cars, and any other name you choose to refer to them also require specific European auto repair.

You need a mechanic well-versed and knowledgeable about these cars, their parts, and requirements to service and fix them, otherwise, you risk worsening the situation.
