Spring is here, yay! That also means allergy season is here and jam-packed with lots of pollen. Not only do you have problems caused by pollen, so does your car. You can take an allergy pill to solve the problem; unfortunately, your car can’t. Here are some tips and tricks to protect your vehicle from pollen damage.  Pollen is that yellow stuff that covers your car when Spring starts. It looks harmless. If you look at it under a microscope, you can see that it has little hooks that are used to latch on things. Pollen can latch onto your clothes, car, and hair. It is also very acidic meaning when it gets wet from rain; rain can also be acidic, the mixture will eat away the paint on your car.  Removing pollen isn’t as easy as you think, so here is what not to do. You might think that a simple wipe will solve the problem, while in fact, it will make it worse. Those microscopic hooks will still scratch the paint. Spraying it down with water doesn’t work either ... read more

Just like humans, cars need fluids too. Without them, both of us die. Or at the minimum leave us with costly medical or auto repair bills. Humans can’t go without fluids for more than 3 or 4 days. If your car lost all of its fluids at the same time, you would simply be out of luck and out of a car. Finito!  Here are the top 8 fluids your vehicle needs to keep on keepin’ on! Gasoline: The most obvious of the 8. We take this one for granted because it’s a habit to fill up when our fuel light indicator tells us it’s time. Make sure you are using the best quality gasoline for your car and do your best to not let it get too low before every fill up. If for no other reason than you are more likely to run out!  Oil: Without it, your engine doesn’t will seize up, and you will very quickly find yourself broken down with a potentially huge auto repair bill in your hand. Darn it! This is a pretty easy fluid to stay on top of even if you go long periods ... read more

Call us biased, but we think German-made automobiles are the BEST! Why? Call it a passion for German engineering, or the joy of a purring-yet-powerful engine. We love German cars here at Bimmer Rescue. But why are Master-level automotive technicians so important for German automobiles? Ah, Grasshopper, let us count the ways. German engineering is unique when compared to Asian or American engineering. German vehicles are more often built for performance over reliability. Specific skills, software, and precision tools are best for German automotive service and maintenance. Advanced engineering requires advanced mechanical training and problem-solving know-how. Troubleshooting a German-brand automobile isn’t always easy as a walk in the park. German cars have expensive parts, and Master mechanics are less likely to make costly repair mistakes involving OEM parts. German auto repair and service requires mechanical knowledge that is often so specific that our technicians are c ... read more
