In most cases, you should follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. A general maintenance recommendation is to have your vehicle inspected twice a year, in the spring in preparation for the summer season, and in the fall in preparation for the winter season.
In the Ann Arbor area, we recommend that vehicle owners follow the severe maintenance schedule due to the weather and driving conditions. However, depending on your driving style and your vehicle’s age, our service advisors may suggest adjustments to the factory service schedule to keep your car running safely and efficiently.
The typical maintenance services German vehicles should have are:
Air Conditioning service
Coolant change
Differential fluid change
Oil & filter change
Power steering fluid change
Tire rotation
Transmission fluid change
Wheel alignment
Different German auto makes and models have different maintenance requirements. It is best to follow the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations (found in the owner's manual). Still, in some cases, our technicians may recommend a different maintenance schedule depending on their experience and the most recent manufacturer's service bulletins. We regularly check for updates to the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations before servicing on your vehicle.
