What’s the Better Deal…BMW or Mercedes?

Who cares, really…they are both great, but which costs more in upkeep?  Prior to deciding which one to buy, we thought you should know.  Let’s take a quick look at the question of which one of these German dynamos is the most expensive to properly maintain and keep running smoothly on the highways and byways around Topeka. 

For many, owning a Mercedes is a dream come true, but one thing that often plays on our minds as we weigh up whether or not to buy one is the Mercedes service cost.  Well, when compared to BMW, Mercedes fares well on the maintenance front.  In the case of the BMW The 3 Series, is over 25% more expensive to maintain than the C-Class.

In the final analysis your desire for one of these vehicles is all that matters, except for the decision as to whom to trust for maintenance during its lifetime journey.  The easy answer in the Topeka area is A.J.’s Import Garage easily found at 501 S.W. Harrison.  For any foreign or domestic auto maintenance count on A.J.’s.  Just call (785) 233-1000.

Oil Changes…Always Changing.

Oil change intervals have evolved over the years thanks to modern automotive technology.  Older cars have become used to oil change intervals based on mileage, and have two maintenance schedules.  One of those is for cars driven in "normal" operation and another for those used in "intense service” which means lots of short trips and stop and go driving.

Most newer cars are equipped with oil-life monitoring systems.  They automatically determine when an oil change is needed and notify you with a “friendly” light on the instrument panel.  By the way, whenever you have your vehicle's oil changed, ask the service technician to reset the oil-life monitoring system.

Changing your car’s oil on a regular interval is always important in keeping your car on the road for years to come.  A.J.’s Import Garage certainly knows that, and our technicians can get you in and out of the shop in minutes with many other check-ups along the way.  Visit Topeka’s A.J.’s Import Garage located at 501 S.W. Harrison or call ahead at (785) 233-1000.
