Do luxury vehicles require different maintenance?
There’s so much that goes into specific maintenance for your luxury vehicle. At Crowne Automotive, we see so many different types of luxury vehicles come from near and far to our shop in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania that could not just drive into any garage or shop for service. That’s right, people have been coming from Hershey, Pennsylvania and beyond to get their luxury vehicle serviced at Crowne. As you might know, it’s sometimes hard to find a shop that services your particular needs. Our team put together a short guide to help you through some of the unique services for a few of the common types of luxury vehicles. Learn a little with us, and ensure your luxury ride gets the highest level of service.
Luxury SUVs & Land Rovers
With luxury SUVs and Land Rovers, regular and routine maintenance is key to a smooth ride. These types of vehicles usually come with robust engines that require specific expertise to service the right way. From Audis to Land Rovers, these vehicles require consistent love. Tires are also a huge part of maintaining vehicles of this caliber. Tire rotations and replacements should always be completed right when they are needed, as the entire vehicle relies on a balanced system beneath it—and if ignored, can cause exponential damage to the rest of the vehicle.
Additionally, SUVs tend to have pretty extensive AC and heating systems along with other additions such as TV screens, that if not maintained properly, can fall out of use and function. Our team can help keep all of these systems running so that you get the full use of your vehicle.
Sports & Performance Vehicles
If you own a luxury sports car, you know that it’s all about performance. If it can’t do what you want it to, what’s the point of having it anyway—right? This is where some unique service needs come into play. These vehicles need constant attention to detail with slight adjustments to maximize performance and durability. Belts need special attention, oil needs to be monitored consistently, and the tires have to be just right.
What we’re saying is, this classification really calls for an expert eye on everything including computer systems to make sure you get the most out of it. This is the type of vehicle where a small issue can quickly turn into a bigger problem, so set up recurring check ups with Crowne Automotive to fix them before they grow.
Antique Luxury Vehicles
We’re talking about those luxury vehicles of an older time, think 1960s to early 2000s. It’s hard to capture all of the vehicles this classification encompasses—from beautiful antique Jags, a classic Porsche, the Volkswagen Beetle…the list is endless! We love to see these unique vehicles roll through our doors. However, these cars present some very unique servicing situations. Some owners prefer to preserve original engines and this can make it a unique experience to source replacement parts. So, you’ll need to prepare in advance for your antique vehicles. Also, you’ll need a garage that understands the generations of luxury vehicles and their specific needs—like our team here in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania! With age comes wisdom, and if you own an antique luxury vehicle, you will want a service plan that makes sense for the generation your vehicle is from.
You’re also looking at unique servicing for items like AC and heating, power or manual steering, and things like window functions and legacy electronics. Don’t worry, we’ll help sort out all of these areas for you.
It’s Okay to Be Specific
In fact, it’s our job to be specific! When it comes to any luxury vehicle, you will discover that each one has many unique features that all need unique service and maintenance. Any old garage will not be the solution to keeping you on the road in your favorite ride, but Crowne Automotive surely is. Let our experts take a look under the hood and get your ride in the best shape of its life, no matter how old it is.
