The Ring Rules.

This is not an homage to the Lord of the Rings, but rather one to the amazing automobile known as the Audi.  The Audi exudes beauty and status and is super-impressive to drive.  When you consider buying an Audi as your next vehicle you are making a measured decision.  WHERE you choose to have it maintained is just as important.

Here are some reasons you should consider that “new”/used Audi as your next car –

1.  They have style without being too showy

2.  The comfort you feel when you sit behind the wheel

3.  Technological advances beyond most other cars on the road

4.  They are manufactured with the environment considered first

A commitment to an Audi demands respect when you consider who will maintain it.  Not surprisingly, the technicians at A.J.’s Import Garage are the right people to trust.  They are the Topeka area’s Audi maintenance professionals.  Whatever the issue, you can trust A.J’s with your new baby.  Call them to make an appointment at (785) 233-1000.

Crank up the A/C.

Yes indeed, it is approaching that time of year when it is time to use your air conditioning in your Topeka area German import.  A detailed inspection of your car’s air conditioning system needs to be done each and every year.  If you don’t, it may be far more expensive in the end.  Also, if it smells, the system should be disinfected.

Mold from your vehicle’s air conditioning system can spread each time that you turn on the a/c.  The exposure that you and your passengers get could be dangerous to your health.  This is especially true of people with respiratory conditions.  So get it checked and clean it up before you crank it up!

In the Topeka area your foreign car’s air conditioning system should be checked and maintained by the best.  That is A.J.’s Import Garage.  Their technicians have over 30 years of experience in dealing with condensers and compressors.  Make an appointment at their 501 S.W. Harrison location in Topeka by calling (785) 233-1000.

Type Approval.

Say what?  Yeah, type approval.  Did you know that in Europe cars get something known as type approval?  Here is what that means.  The manufacturer has one car tested to see if it complies with all the rules and regulations that apply for this type of vehicle.  When this one passes, all subsequent cars of this type are considered “road-worthy”.

This rigorous testing includes emission standards that, without a catalytic converter, are impossible to comply with.  Any modification to a car that would violate type approval rules is illegal (at least in Europe).  So, if you drive a European car, you can take comfort in the knowledge that it has passed what is known as type approval.

What if you drive a European-made vehicle in the Topeka, KS area?  Well, you are pretty darn lucky because you can count on A.J.’s Import Garage for all of your maintenance and repair needs.  They have been located at 501 S.W. Harrison in Topeka for many years.  Just give them a call for a service appointment at (785) 233-1000.

Pay Attention to your Timing Belt.

I know there are several thousand things that you would rather do than concern yourself about the timing belt in your German car.  Replacing the timing belt on your Audi, Mercedes, BMW or Porsche may not be your highest priority in keeping your prized vehicle in tip-top shape, but the results of a failed timing belt can be catastrophic and costly!

The timing belt is absolutely crucial to the proper functioning of the engine. There are two internal engine parts, the crank and cam shafts.  They have to work together in perfect rhythm. The timing belt allows these two parts to operate like a fine-tuned instrument. When the timing belt fails, the damage to the engine can result in thousands of dollars in repairs.

Thousands of dollars…that should get your attention!  Attention to detail is what the proper maintenance of your German-owned car is all about.  Around Topeka folks have trusted A.J.’s Import Garage for the care and maintenance of their pride and joy.  Make an appointment for a check-up at our location 501 S.W. Harrison in Topeka by calling (785) 233-1000.
