Owning an Asian Import.

You might be one of the millions of Americans who drive a vehicle imported from the Asian continent.  The numbers continue to grow even in the Topeka area.  Among the most popular are Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai, and Kia.  They all have their special needs when it comes to maintenance.

For instance, why does Toyota have a higher market share in the US than Honda?  Here is a case in point…Toyota has many more models than Honda, and they have perfected the use of common platforms to produce a wide variety of vehicle types with common engines and other components.

Whatever Asian import you drive you know that maintenance of that vehicle has a best friend.  It is Topeka area Asian import repair specialist A.J.’s Import Garage.  Please visit our new website at ajsimportgarage.com to discover all that we do for your foreign or domestic car.  We are located at 501 S.W. Harrison in Topeka.  Call ahead (785) 233-1000.

Oil Changes…So Simple and So Important.

Why should we care whether our vehicle (especially our German car) has regular oil changes?  People who own European cars often ask, “How often do I need to change the oil in my four-wheeled baby?”  Some, actually assume that once a year is adequate!  Well, the amount and type of driving that you do has a great bearing on that.

Some German automobile manufacturers make claims that their newer models do not require oil changes until 7,500 - 13,000 miles, we are not sure that is realistic.  Do you want to risk diminishing the lifespan of your vehicle?  Ten thousand plus miles without an oil change is likely a horrible way to treat your BMW, Mini Cooper, Mercedes, Audi, or Volkswagen.

Why not check with the experts for sage advice on oil changes and other maintenance tips for your German-owned car?  We are A.J.’s Import Garage.  A.J.’s has built a reputation in keeping your foreign car on the road for as long as you wish.  We are your German car’s best buddy.  Give us a call at (785) 233-1000 or stop in at 501 S.W. Harrison in Topeka.

Our ASE’s are Aces.

Just what does ASE stand for?  It is short for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Since the year 1972 this well-respected independent non-profit organization has worked to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying automotive professionals throughout the land.

How does an individual become a certified ASE mechanic?

1.  It starts by creating an account on their official website.
2.  You choose the proper tests to take.
3.  Then, of course you must arrange to take those tests.
4.  Find a test center nearest to you.
5.  Schedule a time to roll up your sleeves and take the tests.

Obviously, the longer that you have been certified as an ASE mechanic the better.  How about the people at A.J.’s Import Garage Topeka’s certified automotive service excellence center?  Their master mechanics have logged over 30 years of experience as ASE certified mechanics.  You can’t do better than calling or stopping in at A.J.’s Import Garage located at 501 S.W. Harrison or calling (785) 233-1000.
