When your vehicle's check engine light, also called an MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) comes on, you want someone who knows the technology of German Import vehicles. Depend on the team at German Import Garage in Truckee. At GIG, we specialize and focus on the brands of Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, VW, Mini Cooper, and Sprinter, with a deep understanding of their unique engineering and complexities.

The first step in addressing the check engine light is to bring it into German Import Garage where we use an advanced scan tool to pull the diagnostic trouble codes. These codes provide valuable information about which systems within your vehicle are experiencing issues. However, it's important to note that the codes themselves don't pinpoint the exact problem; they simply indicate where the malfunction is occurring.

With this information, a professional technician will then begin the diagnostic process to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Diagnosing a check engine light isn't a job for just any mechanic. It requires years of diagnostic experience to truly excel. GIG technicians have honed their skills through extensive training and hands-on experience. In addition to physical tools, German Import Garage in Truckee invests in online resources that provide access to the latest technical information, repair manuals, and diagnostic procedures straight from the manufacturers.

This allows our Truckee state-of-the-art shop to stay ahead of the curve and ensure that we're using the most up-to-date techniques and information to service your German import.

If your check engine light comes on don’t wait, bring it to German Import Garage and put it in the hands of a shop you can trust. Putting off the diagnosis can result in a larger problem and system damage.

For owners of Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, VW, Mini Cooper, and Sprinter Vans, depend on German Import Garage located at 11183 Trails End Court in Truckee.
