For many Sydney-siders our cars mean the world to us, whether you need a car for work, your daily commute, to carry the family around or you simply enjoy the rumble of your car’s engine and taking it for a joy ride. Living in Sydney, it almost feels like a necessity to have a car, however, owning and making sure your car is in a reliable state can feel like a daunting task especially for European and prestige cars.

At VAR Automotive, servicing and maintaining prestigious European vehicles is our favourite thing to do, so let us discuss the different types of car servicing and auto repairs you might need to ensure your car is ready to take on whatever life throws your way and so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

European & Prestige Car Servicing

European and prestige cars are sought after by many in Sydney. The combination of performance, style, luxury and comfort are all features that give European cars their reputation, however, they come with a downside – finding a quality European car servicing centre can be difficult.

European cars are manufactured and built differently to domestic vehicles and often require mechanics to undertake specialised training to ensure the car servicing is completed correctly, and often required the use of specialised tools. This training and associated specialty tools are often expensive and difficult to acquire for the regular mechanic or service technician.

Independent Logbook Servicing

A logbook service is an important part of European car servicing and is generally performed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Independent logbook services are documented, which is important to maintain consistency with servicing and ensure your car mechanic can keep track of what procedures have been performed. Independent Logbook Servicing also preserves your car’s warranty which is crucial for any European or prestige car owner.

Popular European car and prestige cars brands include:

• Aston Martin
• Audi
• Bentley
• BMW
• Ferrari
• Lamborghini
• Land Rover
• Mercedes-Benz
• Peugeot
• Range Rover
• Rolls Royce
• Volkswagen

All the above manufacturers have their own standards for car servicing and auto repairs which is why it is important you find a premium vehicle inspection in Sydney who will comply.

• Suspension & Steering – both suspension and steering systems are a crucial factor in your safety on the road. Old or leaking shock absorbers can affect your handling and safety
• Logbook Services – a Logbook Service is a specific service based on your car manufacturer’s specifications. It is ideal for owners with new vehicles, or those who have a new car manufacturer’s warranty or extended warranty
• Tune Up – generally, a tune up consists of checking the engine for parts that need cleaning, fixing, or replacing. Common areas under inspection include filters, spark plugs, belts and hoses, car fluids, rotors, and distributor caps 
• Fuel Injection System – a vehicle’s fuel system comprises components that deliver fuel from the fuel tank to the engine, including a fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel-pressure regulator, fuel filter and fuel injectors

Electrical Car Servicing

• Air Conditioning Service – a vital part of your car’s air conditioning system is the evaporator. Designed to remove the heat from inside your vehicle
• Car Batteries – your car battery is the single source of energy for all electronics. It provides energy to the starter and ignition, the battery also supplies energy to all other electrical equipment in your car, including lights, sound system, door locks, alarms, DVD players, parking distance control, lane-changing warnings, active suspension systems and others
• ECU – the electronic control unit (ECU) used in today’s cars and trucks is used to control the functions of the engine and other car components. An ECU is a computer with internal pre-programmed and programmable computer chips that is not much different from any other computer or a laptop
• Diesel diagnostic and EFI – Diesel engines require a completely different diagnostic system to petrol engines. Ensuring this process is undertaken is important for the health of your diesel engine
• Engine lights – a check engine light is your car telling you it desperately needs to be attended to by a qualified technician. Once this lights up, you need to see a car mechanic immediately
• SRS and Airbags – SRS airbags are an extra safety measure that is mandatory in modern vehicles. The SRS stands for supplemental restraint system, and it’s intended to provide protection above that offered by the seatbelt in the event of an accident. Having these systems checked in a service is crucial for your safety
