Cerritos

Every vehicle has the issues that seem to be the most common and BMWs are no different. One thing to keep in mind is if you know there could potentially be a problem, you can stay ahead of the issue and prevent it from becoming something larger.

• Electrical issues: BMWs often face electrical malfunctions such as faulty sensors, control modules, or issues with the car’s electrical wiring. Our certified technicians can take a look at the wiring and get your BMW back up and running without those pesky lights on the dashboard illuminating.
• Cooling system problems: Problems with the radiator, water pump, and thermostat can occur, leading to overheating issues. You want to make sure you have proper maintenance done on these parts to keep you from ending up on the side of the road!
• Oil leaks: Valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket leaks are common in older BMW models. The leaks can cause bigger issues and you have to remember if something is leaking out of an area – dirt and grime can get into those areas too and start causing bigger problems.
• Transmission problems: Some models experience rough shifting or hesitation during gear changes, especially if the transmission fluid is not maintained regularly. Our technicians can keep an eye on your fluid levels and can check the transmission over during a routine inspection which can help keep you on the road heading to one of the great parks in Cerritos!
• Suspension wear: Components such as control arm bushings and struts may wear out, leading to poor handling and increased tire wear. If you plan to take a trip outside of Cerritos, it is a good idea to get your suspension looked over to make sure there are no worn out parts – you’ll have a much smoother ride!
• Timing chain issues: In some BMW engines, especially in the N47 diesel engine, timing chain failures are a known issue. The timing chain, like anything, has to be checked at certain intervals and we can make sure this is happening so you don’t ruin your engine.
• Fuel pump problems: Fuel pump failure is also a common issue, particularly in BMW 3 Series models. No one wants to be spending more on gas than they have to, so if you notice that your vehicle is starting to suck down more than normal, it’s time to come see us.
