Your European or British vehicle puts the \u201cimport\u201d in important when it comes to import auto maintenance and service. Without routine maintenance for your import vehicle, you risk damaging several components, minimizing its performance capacity, and its decreasing lifespan.  Not only is this a costly negligence, but it is also a dangerous one as well. A poorly maintained import car is a safety hazard to its driver and other drivers on the road. It is also a wallet-drainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Import auto maintenance is vitally important for these reasons and more. And if you are like most European car owners, you are passionate about your make and model vehicle and willing to do whatever it takes to keep it in excellent condition. One part of this is pre-winter maintenance. Now that the warm weather is behind us, it is the right time to have your import vehicle serviced before the winter climate and precipitation sets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European and German Auto Maintenance<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u26ee Filters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Filters are the first place to start. After a summer stint, the filters in your vehicle needs to be cleaned or replaced. This includes air filters, oil filters, and fuel filters. At this stage, you want to also have the PCV valves inspected and serviced to ensure the engine runs smoothly during the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ee Motor Oil Changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oil changes are always a mandatory necessity every 3,000 miles or so. In the fall, right before the winter, an oil change is imperative for the vehicle\u2019s winter performance and safety. During an oil change, mechanics will also change the oil filter. This is one maintenance requirement that is absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ee Fluid Replacements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With winter comes precipitation, and quite unpredictable precipitation at that. This means you need to make sure your views are never obstructed while driving, especially during a snowstorm. For this reason, be sure to re-fill your windshield wiper fluid to the top, and then keep an extra bottle in the trunk for emergency re-fill needs on the road. Rubber wiper blades are highly recommended, as they are less likely to freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26ee Car Battery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now comes automotive battery maintenance. You need to have your car\u2019s battery inspected, serviced, or replaced, depending on the type and its condition. Your battery is responsible for getting the engine started, so without it, you can forget driving anywhere. Read your owners\u2019 manual for information about car battery maintenance and care, so you can better prevent draining it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
