European Auto Repair Experts Urge Drivers to Prioritize Often-Overlooked Mileage-Based Services

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- While oil changes remain the most widely recognized part of routine vehicle maintenance, local European auto repair specialists are reminding drivers that other mileage-based services (https://www.arbormotion.com/learn/more/beyond-o...) are just as critical to preserving performance, safety, and reliability—especially for high-performance European makes.

From BMW and Mercedes-Benz to Audi, Volkswagen, and Volvo, these vehicles are precision-engineered and require specific maintenance at manufacturer-recommended intervals. Neglecting certain services can lead to expensive repairs and reduced performance.

"Many of these critical maintenance items don't trigger dashboard warnings or show obvious symptoms until serious damage has occurred," said Sebastian Gaeta, owner of ArborMotion in Ann Arbor. "Preventive service is the key to keeping your European vehicle performing exactly as the manufacturer intended."

Five Essential—but Often Overlooked—Mileage-Based Services:

1. Fuel Filter Replacements
   Recommended every 30,000–60,000 miles, depending on manufacturer guidance. Without replacement, contaminants can clog the system and impact engine performance.
2. Brake Fluid Exchanges
   Most European automakers suggest replacing brake fluid every two years to maintain braking safety and responsiveness.
3. Transmission Fluid Flushes
   Despite "lifetime" fluid claims, many specialists recommend flushing transmission fluid every 60,000–100,000 miles based on driving conditions.
4. Coolant System Maintenance
   A coolant flush every five years or 50,000 miles can prevent overheating and protect vital components from damage.
5. Spark Plug Replacement
   Even long-life plugs (60,000–100,000 miles) can degrade early, affecting fuel efficiency and engine performance.

At ArborMotion, certified technicians are trained to recognize the unique service intervals, fluid specifications, and component needs of brands including Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Porsche, Saab, and Volvo.
