Auto Repair Services
VAP Motorsports offers a full range of services for your VW, Audi, BMW or Porsche.
Engine Diagnostics
A set of tests using an engine scan computer will locate the source of poor engine performance or running problems. The vehicle’s sensors, fuel pressure and emission systems are all checked by a highly trained ASE Technician.
Tune-ups
A necessary part of vehicle maintenance wherein the spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter are replaced.
Fuel Injection
We monitor, maintain, or replace the components of a fuel injection system to keep the vehicle running at optimum performance.
Timing Belts
We recommend replacing timing belts as a part of a standard maintenance program. Failure to do so can cause catastrophic engine damage.
Batteries/Charging Systems
The battery is tested for load capacity and the alternator is tested for amp/voltage output to sustain the charge of the battery. Parts are replaced as necessary.
Air Conditioning 134A
The air conditioning system is checked for leaks, Freon level, and blower volume. Parts are replaced as necessary. When a leak is not detectable upon initial inspection, a dye is used to pinpoint the location.
Clutches/Flywheels
Requires removal of a vehicle’s transmission to replace a three part clutch assembly that includes pressure plate, disc, and throw-out bearing. The flywheel must also be machined. This is a very time consuming repair.
Wheel Alignment/Front End
Using our computerized alignment machine, the technician adjusts and corrects wheel angles.
Shocks/Struts/CV Joints
The shocks and struts control the ride of a vehicle and keep the wheels in contact with the road. Neither shocks nor struts can be repaired and the entire unit must be replaced. The boot covering the CV joint must be inspected for tears or breaks by a trained technician. This will prevent future damage from loss of lubrication.
Brakes
All brake repairs begin with a thorough inspection to determine which parts or components need replacement or maintenance. Brake fluid is checked at the time of each oil change.
Cooling Systems/Radiators
One of our ASE technicians checks the engine cooling system for proper water and antifreeze/coolant level, leaks and proper flow. In order for the cooling system to operate properly, belts must be in good condition and there should be no restrictions.
Lube, Oil and Filter Change
We recommend changing engine oil and filter every 3,000 miles. While performing an oil change, our technicians check all fluids and top off as necessary. Most new vehicles do not require lubrication, as moving parts are lubricated and sealed at the factory.
Electric Windows/Door Locks
Our highly trained electrical specialists are able to trace and locate shorts, in order to replace defective parts as necessary.
Tires/Sales and Service
Our experts help select proper tires based on individual use and vehicle requirements. When necessary to correct handling problems, we use our state of the art alignment equipment for alignments and road force balance machine to simulate vehicle speeds resulting in the most accurate tire balance possible.
Reprogramming/Flash
Today’s vehicles have many computers and these require reprogramming as recommended by the manufacturer. In addition, reprogramming the car’s computer can be a repair or part of a repair.
