They Know How to Manufacture a Car on the Other Side of the World.

Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai, and Kia.  What do they all have in common?  Well, they are obviously some of the world’s top selling automobile brands.  They are built to last and engineered in a way that few cars worldwide are.  The care and continued efficiency of your ride from Asia is something you need to keep in mind.

Within these Asian imports are things like starters and chargers, climate control (the heat and the a/c), the exhaust system and catalytic converters.  In many ways, it does not differ from your standard Ford or Chevy, but in many others these makes and models are unique in their own and very special way.

When your Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Honda, Nissan, or Toyota needs regular maintenance or emergency service it is nice to know that your car has a best friend.  That is Topeka’s Asian import repair specialist A.J.’s Import Garage.  They are located at 501 SW Harrison in Topeka.  Come in or call ahead at (785) 233-1000.

Fuel Injection Systems in German Cars.

How does your German car’s fuel injection system work exactly and what does it take to troubleshoot it?  Here is an example of what may be happening in your Mercedes.  Over time deposits form on intake valves, in the combustion chambers, and in the fuel injectors. This causes loss of power, rough running, misfiring, etc. which results in poor gas mileage.

Especially in older Mercedes deposits will cause all of the above which triggers the engine’s control unit to actually adapt to these conditions.  By adding more fuel to the engine’s mixture, the engine feels like it is running the same because of the control unit’s intervention but the final result is the same, poor fuel economy.

Here is what we do at A.J.’s Import Garage.  First of all, we will scan your car’s engine computer, check and note the fuel adaptations.  What you need to know is that we are on it!  At A.J.’s Import Garage we serve all of the Topeka area’s Mercedes owners with top quality service every time.  Call (785) 233-1000 to make an appointment at 501 SW Harrison in Topeka.
