5 Essential Services Offered by Your Porsche Center
Your car has a wide variety of service needs, as certain services help keep it running in peak condition. Your local Porsche Center can meet all of these needs.
Whether you need a major repair or a routine oil change, we can handle any Porsche service your vehicle is in need of.
5 Types of Essential Porsche Service Offered by Your Porsche Center
1. Oil Change
Oil changes are one of the most essential forms of service you can get. You need the service every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, though this can vary a little depending on what kind of car you drive and your driving habits. Signs that you’re overdue for an oil change include reduced gas mileage, an overheating engine, and visibly dirty oil.
2. Brake Service
Whether your brakes are acting fine or have begun to make noises when used, you need to stop by the dealer for brake service regularly. We need to check on your braking system to make sure it’s in good condition, and we need to replace your brake pads when they get too worn down.
Be aware of the signs that your brakes are in disrepair. Common signs of brake trouble include noises when you brake, reduced brake performance, and a change in how your brake pedal feels. For instance, if there’s no resistance when you step on the brake pedal, then you need to visit the Center.
3. Battery Service and Replacement
Car batteries last between 3 and 5 years, so you’ll need to replace yours after that period of time. You should also watch out for signs that your battery is getting ready to die. These signs include flickering headlights, faulty electronics, and trouble starting your car. Make sure you also visit regularly for battery health checkups such as a battery load test and and battery voltage test.
4. Transmission Services
We need to check on your transmission regularly, and we also need to change your transmission fluid as needed. You should also look out for signs of transmission trouble so you can stop by as soon as any of them arise.
You’ll usually have problems with your gears when your transmission is in disrepair. So, you may have trouble changing gears, experience your car slipping out of gear, or hear grinding sounds while you’re changing gears.
5. Engine Diagnostic
Getting an engine diagnostic regularly helps us stay on top of small issues with your car. During an engine diagnostic, we connect your car to a special scanner that looks for problems with different systems in your vehicle. We also perform an engine diagnostic when your check engine light comes on and we need to diagnose what’s wrong with the car.
