How can I tell if my European car needs a diagnostic check?

There are several signs that your European auto may need a diagnostic check, including warning lights on your dashboard (like the check engine light), unusual noises (such as grinding or knocking), decreased performance (like sluggish acceleration or reduced fuel efficiency), or strange smells (like burning or sweet odors). If you notice any of these symptoms, it's best to have a professional diagnostic performed to determine the underlying issue.

How often should I service my European vehicle?

You'll want to schedule service for your European vehicle based on the make and model, as well as your driving habits. Generally, however, it is recommended to have cars serviced every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or twice a year. Regular servicing helps prevent major issues and keeps your vehicle running efficiently.

Will my warranty be affected if I have my car serviced at your shop?

No, having your car serviced at our shop will not void your warranty provided that the service is performed according to the manufacturer's guidelines and proper parts are used. Feel free to ask if you have more specific questions or need further information!

Customer Reviews

"I had an excellent experience at Southwest Auto. It’s been very hard to find a mechanic to work on my old Saab, so I found Jon. He did a thorough diagnostic, emailed me the results, and had me approve the work. It took some time to source parts, but Jon Came through. My car not only made the 200+ mile ride home, it’s running great. Very thankful his shop was recommended."

David Dalrymple

"I highly recommend Southwest auto for your vehicle repair. Recently, they handled my transmission leak on a 3500 Mercedes Diesel Sprinter Van/Camper. They were efficient, fairly priced, and Cory at the front desk was very communicative during the repair process. They handled the warrantee coverage for me and got me back on the road quickly. I cannot say enough how pleased I was with the service they provided."
