BMW Auto Repair

bmw-auto-repairPeople who have the luxury of owning a BMW usually associate it with great quality and minimal repairs. While this is true to an extent, no matter what type of car you own it’s still going to need repairs and maintenance performed on it routinely. Most auto shops are not prepared to work on BMWs because they aren’t seen as much, and require expertise not always found in possession by local mechanics. At Peterson Auto & Truck our ASE Certified mechanics have worked on many BMWS, and understand the complexities that these luxury vehicles require.

If you’re the owner of the 7 Series BMW, a common problem encountered is leaking coolant. At first, it would appear as if there is a leak on the water pump. Replacing the water pump will only cost you, and worse, the leak will still be there. This is why it’s vitally important to have an experienced BMW mechanic working on your vehicle the first time around. Make sure if you have a leak in this model BMW you have your mechanic look into the seals of the coolant pipe. Oftentimes, mechanics need to remove the engine in order to address this problem. This leads to an increase in the cost that can reach up to $6,000! For savings on any BMW repair, our St. Petersburg auto shop can help assist.

When you apply the brake in your BMW vehicle do you experience a vibrating steering wheel? As an owner of the 3 Series BMW, this is no longer a surprise. Such a problem is common, especially when you lightly apply the brakes. Although brake issues with the BMW are minor in comparison to other issues, it is important that you have this checked out immediately. The longer you wait for BMW brake repairs and alignment issues, the more expensive it becomes.

An owner of a BMW with V8 engine will usually encounter problems with misfires at some point. This can be identified with the rough running of the vehicle. This problem occurs because the vacuum hose collapses, or perhaps the ignition coils have failed. However, if your BMW runs on the 6-cylinder engine, the problem may be due to the PCV valve system’s failure. To discover the root problem, you will need to have your car looked over carefully.

Another common issue with the 6-cylinder engine is the emissions leak. This can happen even if the engine is running well. If this is not addressed soon enough, it can lead to no-start, or a cranking engine during start-up. Idle speed is a good sign that you should look out for. If you experience these things, it’s time to bring your BMW into the shop. We’ll help pinpoint the exact cause of the problem, and explain what can be done to resolve the issue at hand.

A BMW is a great investment. If you don’t want to throw away that investment and money, you should only trust the experts at Peterson Automotive to avoid misdiagnosis and costly BMW repairs.

  • I was never completely satisfied with any past car repairs I have received until I took my car to Peterson Auto & Truck. My car was developing a noise and needed some muffler repairs if not a replacement. Other muffler shops in the area had not impressed me in the past. I heard that Peterson's offered muffler services so I took it there. I was more than happy with their exhaust service and it was cheaper than expected.
