  • When should I do maintenance?

    Aside from regular oil changes and tire services, most manufacturers recommend getting scheduled inspections at 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles. For the best guidance, we recommend referring to your owner's manual. You can also contact us for more information about foreign car repair in San Angelo, TX.

  • When should I get my tires rotated?

    You should have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, according to Consumer Reports. To request a tire rotation with experts in BMW, Volkswagen, and Mercedes repair in San Angelo, TX, contact Ric Henry's Auto Service today.

  • Does it matter how expensive my tires are?

    The cost of tires matters, but it's most important to consider the type of tire and how you'll be using your vehicle. Passenger tires are suitable for most sedans for everyday use, while high-performance tires are recommended for luxury vehicles.

  • When should my car get an oil change?

    The frequency of oil changes depends on the type of oil you use. In the experience of our team specializing in Volkswagen repair in San Angelo, TX, conventional oil brands last between 3,000 to 5,000 miles and synthetic brands can go from 7,500 to 15,000 miles. We also recommend coming in to get your oil changed at least four times a year for ideal performance.

  • How do I know what type of oil my car needs?

    For most makes and models on the road, conventional oil performs just fine unless you drive a high-performance vehicle like a BMW, Porsche, or Corvette. Fortunately, our team specializes in BMW repair in San Angelo, TX, so visit us to get the high-quality oil your vehicle deserves.

  • How often should I change my brakes?

    In our experience, brake pads should typically be replaced every 25,000 to 60,000 miles with typical usage. If you're unsure if you need new brake pads, visit us for reliable foreign car repair in San Angelo, TX.

  • How bad can I let my brakes get before they become dangerous?

    It's dangerous to drive with worn brake pads. If you hear a squeaking noise that eventually turns into a grinding noise, you need brake pad replacement immediately. Get in touch with our dependable team for Mercedes repair in San Angelo, TX today.

  • Where are my rotors? Do they always have to be replaced with my brakes?

    Brake rotors are the large metal discs that are connected to the wheels of your vehicle. They are usually the metal you can see when staring into a standard vehicle wheel from the outside. They typically last longer than your brake pads. In our experience, the standard car rotor can last between 50,000 and 70,000 miles. Contact us for an inspection and for proper BMW repair in San Angelo, TX.

  • Is maintaining a foreign car more difficult than maintaining an American-made car?

    Maintenance is equally important for any vehicle, whether foreign or domestic. Always follow your manufacturer's recommendations. When it comes to foreign car repair in San Angelo, TX, ensure the mechanic is certified to work on them.
