Owning an Audi is exciting! It's a high-quality car that needs regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly. One of the most important things you can do for your Audi is to get regular oil changes. But how often should you do this? Let’s find out! Why Are Oil Changes Important? Oil is one of the important fluids in your car’s engine. It keeps all the parts moving smoothly and prevents them from wearing out too quickly. Over time, the oil gets dirty and less effective, so it needs to be changed regularly. Recommended Oil Change Intervals For most modern Audis, the recommended interval for an oil change is every 5,000 miles or 5 months, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your specific model and driving habits. Signs You Need an Oil Change Sometimes, your car might need an oil change before the recommended interval. Here are some signs to look out for: •Oil Change Light: If this light comes on, it’s time for an oil change. &bul ... read more

  It is very important that the tires on your vehicle are in great shape. Tires are on the only contact your vehicle has with the roadway. As we are approaching the snowy season in Wisconsin, we never know what to expect weather wise. We know the first snow fall is near and this is our reminder to you to check the condition of your tires.  There can be tread depth indicators found on most tires. These tread depth indicators are not able to be seen when the tires are new. Bars running perpendicular to the tread will start to show themselves as the tire tread gets low. If you notice the tread depth indicators, your tread depths are too low and you should replace your tires.  Another way you can check the tread depth, believe it or not, is with a penny. To determine if your tires are low on tread, place the penny in your tread with Lincoln's head pointed down. If you can see the top of his head, the tire tread is low and new tires should be purchased in the near ... read more

  What is a wheel lock you may be asking? A wheel lock is a locking lug nut that contains theft-deterring sockets. To remove the locking lug nut, you must have the wheel lock and each set of wheels has its own key. This is a safety feature that prevents the tire, rim, and wheel from being removed from the vehicle. These locks are meant to deter criminals from stealing the wheels off your vehicle. If you are not sure where your wheel lock may be a dealership or manufacturer can replace it if you have the code for your wheel lock. You also can sometimes order a replacement online if you have the make and model of your wheel locks. Our auto repair shop can also remove the wheel locks from the vehicle. We use a special socket that digs into the metal grip on the outside of the wheel lock. This will cause damage to the wheel lock and will not be able to be reused.  If there is a wheel lock installed on your vehicle, please be sure to have it easily accessible at the time&n ... read more
