Performance Motor Works provides a complete set of repair, service and maintenance services for your German car—including BMW, Audi, VW and Mini Cooper. The most important repetitive maintenance service you can perform to ensure your German auto will have a long life and serve you well is an oil change, filter change, and lube service every 4,000 miles for regular motor oil and every 7,000 miles for synthetic motor oil.

Today’s engines use higher engine oil pressures and increased engine oil flow rates to help optimize engine performance and emissions. So it is critical to maintain proper oil pressure and flow. Insufficient oil flow, low oil pressure or oil starvation causes a lack of lubrication which can result in poor performance and even engine damage. Regular engine oil and filter changes that follow the vehicle’s maintenance schedule or oil life monitoring system will help protect the engine from wear and tear.

Our factory trained technicians will not only quickly and efficiently change the oil and filter in your BMW, Audi, VW and Mini Cooper, but they will also perform a comprehensive 25 point inspection to identify any performance or safety issues with your car that you may not be aware of.

Performance Motor Works can help you maintain your car with our oil and lube service that include:

• Oil and filter change
• Lube Service
• Engine flush
• Synthetic motor oil available
• 25 point inspection service
• Check and refill fluids

To ensure the longevity and performance of your BMW, Audi, VW, or Mini, contact us today to schedule an oil and filter change and lube service.

Performance Motor Works believes in providing our customer’s with the best possible service at an affordable price. To help educate our customers we have put together some ideas for when you need to have us work on your automobile.

1. Take 5 – minutes to write down what your vehicle is doing (or not doing), before you call or go to a shop. Make notes of every detail. Is your car making a noise? Describe how it sounds. Where do you think it’s coming from? Is your car running sluggish? When and how often does the problem occur and under what conditions? Ask yourself a lot of detailed questions. Ideally, you would jot these down as they occur (except when driving )
2. 3 Most Important Points – that any shop should satisfy before leaving it to be repaired or serviced.
   - Make sure you have the complete attention of the person assisting you.
   - That you and the person helping you have agreed upon the course of action to solve your problem.
   - You have received a thorough and complete inspection and written estimate.
3. Ask Questions – Once you’ve done your part in describing your vehicle’s problem as clearly as possible, ask questions. No good technician will simply listen to your description of a problem and say, “Ok, I’ll fix it.” Ask the technician or customer service rep for their recommendations as to what is “required” vs. “suggested” to be repaired or replaced. The shop may charge for a diagnosis, though at Performance Motor Works we provide all our customers with a FREE 50 Point Inspection. That’s money well spent, so the technician can pinpoint the problem(s).
   Ask questions like:
   • What would cause such a condition?
   • What industry standards guide service on that vehicle system?
   • Can the problem be “repaired” or will it require “replacement” of parts?
   • How is the repair performed, in general terms?
   • Could the repair process itself affect other vehicle components (for example, will belts or hoses have to be disconnected or replaced as part of the repair)?
   • How long will it take?

   Never be afraid to ask questions. As the saying goes, the only dumb question is the one that wasn’t asked!
