If you’re looking for a one-stop shop for repair and preventative maintenance on your vehicle, then Bluewater Performance has got you covered. For a little over 15 years now, we’ve been providing quality service for the following luxury import brands:
Today we’re going to talk about the services that we offer so that you can get a better idea of what we can do to help keep your import vehicle running at its best. Let’s take a look!
Preventative Maintenance
If you want to get the best performance out of your vehicle, the preventative maintenance that you’d normally apply for a domestic model just isn’t going to cut it. Imports have their own preventative maintenance requirements that must be met at certain mile or time markers in order to keep everything running at peak performance.
Here are some examples of the frequency that you can expect from 3 popular brands that we service:
- BMW – BMWs are high-performance vehicles and as such, they need checks on a more regular frequency than many other types of vehicles. Typically, preventative maintenance checks are performed every 5000 miles and what’s more, BMWs are also equipped with a Condition-Based Service sensor that helps to keep track of wear and tear to customize your tune-up frequency based on your personal usage of the vehicle.
- Volkswagen – While you’ll always want to defer to your manufacturer’s guide with every vehicle, most Volkswagens will be needing preventative maintenance approximately every 10,000 miles. With Volkswagens, this is especially important, as these models are notorious for lasting a long time past their projected lifestyle with a little love and care.
- Audi – With Audi, you’ll typically have a basic service and a standard service, each with their own list of checks. The basic service is done every 10,000 miles, while the standard service will be done every 20,000 mile marker.
Full-Service Repair
When it comes to repairs, you want to make sure that you’re going with an expert who knows your vehicle, and at Bluewater Performance we’re going to know your brand and your specific model. That gives you an edge – If there are known issues with that model, for instance, we’ll be on the lookout for them.
What’s more, any repairs or upgrades that are done on your vehicle are going to be performed with its unique engineering in mind. That way, you won’t ever have to worry that fixing one problem is going to create another. Audi, BMW, Porsche, and Volkswagen vehicles are the only vehicles we work with, so you’re going to have that kind of specialized experience at your beck with Bluewater Performance.

FAQ
How often should I service my European car?
While you’ll always want to defer to your vehicle’s service manual, with European vehicles you’ll typically want to bring them in every 5000 to 10,000 miles, depending on the model.
For instance, with BMWs, every 5000 miles is typically the time you would bring one in, whereas with a Mercedes, the tires should be serviced every 5000 miles, but a meatier preventative maintenance is done every 10,000 miles.
What is the most common repair issue for an Audi?
With Audi vehicles, one of the most common issues is a failing ignition coil, which will usually manifest a warning in the form of engine misfires, rough idling, and eventually difficulty starting your vehicle as the issue gets worse. This is not something to ignore, so if you are experiencing any of these issues then it’s time to get your vehicle in for a checkup right away.
Can any mechanic service a BMW?
While any mechanic can handle some of the simpler tasks, such as changing oil filters or rotating tires, that’s about the extent of what you’ll want them to do. Your BMW is a finely engineered machine that is best maintained by someone who knows these vehicles. Anything less could mean trouble down the line and expensive repairs that could have easily been avoided by going with an expert.
