Frequently Asked Questions
Do European cars need specialised servicing?
Yes, European vehicles often require specialised servicing due to their advanced engineering, unique components and specific manufacturer requirements. These cars frequently use different diagnostic systems, fluids, and service procedures compared to other makes. Servicing European cars properly means using high-quality or OEM parts and scan tools compatible with brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Peugeot and others. Taking your vehicle to a mechanic experienced in European models ensures your car runs smoothly and avoids warranty or performance issues.
Can I service my European car at a local mechanic instead of the dealership?
Yes, you can have your European car serviced by a qualified local mechanic without voiding your warranty, as long as the service is carried out according to the manufacturer’s logbook and uses the correct parts and fluids. Many independent workshops have the tools, training and diagnostic equipment needed to service European cars accurately. Choosing a reputable mechanic who understands European brands can also be more affordable than dealership pricing without sacrificing quality or compliance.
What are common issues in European vehicles?
While European cars are known for quality and performance, they can experience specific issues over time. These include electronic faults, cooling system problems, oil leaks, and issues with timing chains or turbochargers—especially if maintenance is neglected. High-performance models may also be sensitive to poor-quality fuel or infrequent servicing. Staying on top of scheduled maintenance and addressing problems early can prevent these common issues from escalating.
