Audi and Volkswagen owners know after they purchase their car or crossover SUV, they're purchasing the best of high-quality German engineering, and may reasonably expect their vehicle to be reliable and remain stylish well beyond 100,000 miles. However, the best-engineered cars need regular maintenance, which is the reason both Audi and VW offer a recommended servicing schedule for each car's preservation. Audi and Volkswagen service should be performed either at a dealership or at a specialty foreign car auto repair shop.

Most car maintenance starts off with regular oil changes, approximately every 5000 miles for most modern cars. Though many car owners understand this servicing need, fewer know much about how many different types of lubricants and other fluids are in their car. Other than oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid can all have a substantial influence on your vehicle's function and safety on the roads.

For your reassurance, and for best upkeep of your luxurious vehicle, it is recommended that you have an Audi or Volkswagen service shop perform a relatively easy and quick quarterly check on fluid levels within your vehicle, just to make sure that there are no expensive surprise emergencies later on.

Besides checking the fluids, your auto repair shop may also do a quick assessment of other important components of your car which you may overlook, such as the tire pressure, (including the spare tire); brake lights, head lights, and tail lights; the condition of hoses, belts, and battery connections. If you're not at all handy, your mechanic can even do small tasks such as adding extra lubricant to some creaky back door hinge or replacing broken down windshield wipers.

Your vehicle might also have optional extras that could demand additional inspections and potential repairs, such as sun roofs and convertibles. The rubber seals of a sun roof or convertible that keep water out and noise levels down will decay with age, and may need to be repaired.

Manual transmissions should have different maintenance needs than automatic transmissions, and diesel engines will have different needs than gasoline engines. A good Audi service shop or Volkswagen service shop will invariably refer to manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule to ensure you are keeping up with your car's needs.

Your Audi or Volkswagen is an essential component of your daily life. In order for you to get the most enjoyment and use from the car, it is best to set up a good working relationship with a qualified auto repair shop and take the vehicle in for routine maintenance and servicing. Preventative upkeep is much less expensive than major repairs. Qualified mechanics can assist you extend the life of your Audi or Volkswagen and keep it on the highway longer.
