Free track day @ TGPR

On September 10th we drew the winner of the free track day at TGPR. The winner is Anne Mancer. She is so excited to win. This is Anne’s first drivers ed and we are excited that she is going to come out and have fun with the local PCA club. This free track day was sponsored by Eurasian Auto Service and Alabama region PCA. A special thanks to Tom Fleming for his help.

The idea behind this is we were looking to help grow the local club and increase member involvement. We had a lot of fun doing this and will do it again. To participate in the next one all you need to do is come by and get any service between the specified dates and you could win.

Is your Porsche a garage queen? It still needs service!

A large proportion of vehicles that we see here at Eurasian Auto Service are driven less that 9,000 miles per year. Many experienced Porsche owners will note that service intervals are based on a 15,000 mile scale, which would mean your vehicle might only come up for a service or inspection once every three years following the mileage scale.

As many seasoned auto technicians (including us) can tell you, having a vehicle that has not been serviced in three years can cause major problems. For example, Porsche specifies that brake fluid must be changed every two years, regardless of mileage. There are many other inspection items that can degrade over time and leave you stranded on a leisurely Sunday drive.

This is why Porsche specifies an annual inspection for vehicles driven less than 9,000 miles per year. Vehicle components inspected in this service are listed for us on an official Porsche inspection form and include:

-Read out diagnosis system fault codes to be fully aware of what is happening with critical systems in the vehicle

-Inspect the underside of the vehicle for fluid leaks, and note the condition of all lines, hoses, and wires

-On water cooled vehicles, inspect the radiator air inlets for debris and blockage to prevent overheating and possible engine damage

-Check power steering fluid level, where applicable

-Check engine oil level and condition

-Inspect condition of brake hoses, lines, pads, discs, brake fluid level and condition–if fluid appears dark, it has been contaminated with water and must be flushed out to prevent corrosion damage to critical brake components

-Inspect condition of steering gear dust boots and check for leaks

-Inspect tie rod end and ball joint play and dust boot condition

-Inspect axle joints for play and dust boot condition

-Inspect condition and pressures of tires and spare tire

-Check cabrio and body drains for debris; clean if needed

-Check that all vehicle lights and horn are functional and inspect headlight aim

-Test drive vehicle and note any deficiencies

An annual inspection will keep you abreast of any issues with your vehicle and will give you the opportunity to correct any deficiencies before the become serious enough to leave you on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere!

If you have any further questions about low mileage annual inspections, please feel free to contact us in whatever manner is most convenient for you!
