If you own a European vehicle, finding expert care is vital to maximizing your miles and protecting your investment. At Bluewater Performance, we’re ready and waiting to help. For over 15 years now, we’ve been servicing the following quality European brands:
Today we’re going to tell you a little about what we can do for you and your vehicle to help keep you on the road and enjoying all the amazing perks that come with a luxury European vehicle. If you’re ready, then let’s get started!
Full-Service Repair
While regular preventative maintenance can keep most issues at bay, European imports have their own problems just like any other vehicle does. Here are some examples of common repairs that we deal with all the time at Bluewater:
- Audi – While they are generally pretty robust if you take care of them, Audis are sometimes prone to electrical and front-suspension issues that might be missed if your mechanic isn’t looking for them. At Bluewater Performance, we’re familiar with your model’s potential known issues already and we’ll be keeping an eye out for them.
- BMW – With great power comes ‘great operational heat’, and so we’re always watching your BMW’s cooling system for potential failure. Issues like this and oil or coolant leaks are common with BMWs, so that extra attention really pays off.
- Volkswagen – Volkswagens sometimes suffer from overactive lights on the dashboard – electrical problems being their ‘Achilles heel’ – but we can diagnose sensor and wiring problems with a quickness and get them sorted in no time!
Preventative Maintenance
While it’s easy to put off, preventative maintenance needs to be done regularly in order to keep your vehicle at peak performance. European models tend to incorporate specialized tech and even proprietary suspension designs that help to produce the power and precision that we’ve all come to know and love.
That kind of engineering needs to be maintained and while you might get away with putting off preventative maintenance with a domestic model, we really don’t recommend it with an import. At Bluewater Performance, we know EXACTLY what checks your vehicle will need at each mile-marker, so we can ensure that you’re getting the maintenance that your vehicle needs, precisely when it needs it!

FAQ
What are the differences between European and American vehicle repairs?
American vehicles are naturally easier to repair as parts are in abundance and local mechanics are simply more used to working with these vehicles. With European models, however, there are often specialized engineering considerations for the engines that general local mechanics may not be aware of.
Simply put, many of the features that make these luxury imports such amazing machines to drive are going to need specialized, expert care to maintain properly. This will help to maximize your miles and protect your investment well into the foreseeable future.
What are the most common repairs issues with Volkswagens?
While they are one the most robust brands in the world, Volkswagens have their own share of problems like any other vehicle. With VWs, it’s generally not the engine, but electrical issues or problems with the sensors.
Thankfully, with regular preventative maintenance this is a problem that can easily be avoided, but without it then you could be looking at trouble down the road.
How often should I get my BMW serviced?
While you’ll want to always defer to your owner’s manual, most BMWs will need to be serviced regularly – typically every 5000 miles. Like a race car taking pit stops every so many laps, these high-performance vehicles need to stay tuned and well-lubricated in order to deliver the trademark power and precision that BMW brings to the table.
