Our team can conduct a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle you are looking to buy. Buying a vehicle is a big deal, and it's one that you don't want to be bad. Our experts can advise customers to avoid certain models that have flawed parts or technology or prepare them for the work they'll need. A full inspection will lay out the condition of the vehicle, how much care is put into it, and what the cost is to make repairs.

The most important aspect of any European vehicle is a regular maintenance schedule. They provide a good base for keeping your vehicle healthy over months and years. Whether it's oil service every 5,000 miles, or a transmission service every 60,000 miles, you'll feel confident afterward. Those numbers can vary depending on the age and condition of your vehicle, but it goes to show routine maintenance will avoid larger repairs. Given our staffs' years of experience, we know what each manufacturer outlines for a service schedule. Once we have your vehicle history, we can set up a maintenance plan, so you'll know exactly when the time comes to get it serviced.

At the conclusion of your vehicle's service, the tech will make one final check before submitting their service report. When you arrive to pick up your vehicle, we'll detail how the service went and the tech's service item recommendations. We 100% guarantee you will take your vehicle home, a happy camper.
