Service A (minor) or Service B (major) done as per Mercedes Benz specification and following MB manual (WIS). We use OEM parts, only synthetic oil MB and guaranteed to protect your engine for the next 20,000 km. Some of the issues that crop up in time with certain models and engines are timing chain rattles (stretch), intake manifold gaskets leaking, variable camshaft adjusters (magnets) internal leak, oil leaks.
Inspection I and Inspection II following BMW service sheet checklists, using only synthetic oil BMW LL (long life designation) for extended life (up to 25,000km).
While BMW makes outstanding vehicles there are known problems the occur past a certain mileage like cooling system problems and oil leaks. Have your vehicle checked and repaired here and save big without worrying about quality.

Whatever your needs, either regular maintenance, timing belt or check engine light diagnostic rest assured your Audi will be in good hands at German Automotive. Weak spots are the water pumps and timing belt tensioners, timing chain tensioners, premature engine mounts failure and high oil consumption.
Porsche schedule maintenance plan (service A, B) with Porsche approved oil and OEM filter will maintain your vehicle warranty while saving big on cost. We always check for metal shavings in the oil filter and suggest installing a magnetic oil drain plug to help detect early IMS bearing failures in Boxsters and 911 engines.
Highly recommended is to upgrade your IMS bearing on Boxster and 911 (Carrera) before catastrophic engine failure, especially if built between 2003 and 2005. We use the highest quality LN Engineering Pro Kit or IMS DOF (Direct Oil Feed) kit also by LN Engineering. Our prices are unbeatable, don't wait until too late.

With over two decades experience in VW there is little we can't tackle when it comes to your Volkswagen. Having the latest Ross-Tech pro diagnostic scanner and VW factory manuals available we can make sure your VW is ready for the emission test or fix that pesky check engine light before you go in for the test.
Is your VW diesel lacking power? A common problem is the turbocharger failure (wastegate actuator) and clogged up intake manifolds. While usually easy to diagnose, the repairs tend to be on the expensive side. The gasoline engine suffer for misfires due to failing ignition coils and timing chain issues, coolant leaks due to plastic thermostat housings.

Porsche IMS bearing upgrade
As already mentioned, the intermediate shaft on Porsches' boxer engines manufactured between 1997 and 2005 is prone to premature bearing failure leading to engine damage.
The folks at LN Engineering and others have developed upgrades to the problematic single row bearing that fails. Two solutions are available right now, one is the pro kit with dual row ceramic hybrid bearing that is guaranteed for 75,000 miles/120,000km and the other, so called permanent solution is to install a direct oil feed (DOF) bearing that doesn't fail. The DOF solution costs about twice as much as the pro kit upgrade but you only do it once, while the ceramic bearing needs replacing every 120,000km.
We have the special tools and the experience to provide you and your beloved Porsche with piece of mind, and while the failure rate tends to be low (10%) the ones more prone to this flaw are the Boxster/Carreras manufactured between 2000 and 2005 as these have the single row bearing installed. That being said, IMS bearings have also failed on pre 2000 engine (with double row bearings, and post 2005 engines also with larger bearings).
