If you need help with your European auto near Rockville, MD, you need to come to see us!

Warning Lights and What They Mean

European cars can have unique warning lights that might show up from time to time. This can confuse basic car mechanics or repair shops, but we know how to read the codes that your car is showing and help you to solve the problem that has led to the warning light. Our certified technicians are good at diagnosing problems and solving them right away so that you can get back to your normal routine.

Red Lights or Indicators

Many European cars categorize their warning lights by color. Red indicators of any kind means that the problem is serious and needs immediate attention. This might be anything from the active steering, to a tire sensor, to an engine warning light. Do not ignore red warning lights when they show up. Bring your car to us for quality service and a free loaner car to use while we look into the problem.

Brake Indicators

Many European vehicles will have active braking systems to help with tough road conditions as well as regular brake sensors that can indicate other issues. When you see these warning lights you need to come to visit us for a brake check and alignment service. Sometimes this is all that is needed, but there could be larger issues that will need our attention as well.

Service Vehicle

When this light comes on, you will need to schedule a maintenance visit with us. We can take care of oil changes, fluid changes and more per your car’s make and model specifications. There are unique service intervals for some of these cars and we know exactly what your car needs and when it needs it.

We Fix BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Mini, VW, Volvo & Lexus Vehicles!
