What is ADAS, and why does it matter for your German vehicle? 🛠️

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) include features such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and parking sensors. These systems rely on precisely calibrated cameras and sensors.

After any windscreen replacement, collision, or suspension work, your ADAS systems need recalibrating to ensure they continue to function correctly. Incorrect calibration can affect your safety significantly.

Our team holds manufacturer-level certification in ADAS diagnostics and calibration. Book at www.germanauto.co.uk.

3. A spongy or soft brake pedal
4. Vibration through the steering wheel when braking

Did you know that wheel alignment has a significant impact on tyre wear and fuel efficiency? 🚗

Even a small misalignment can cause uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side, and reduced fuel economy. At German Automotive, we use precision laser alignment equipment to check and correct wheel geometry to manufacturer specifications.

We recommend checking alignment at least once a year, or after any significant impact such as a pothole or kerb strike.

Is your German vehicle ready for winter? ❄️

Cold weather puts additional strain on several key components. Before the temperature drops further, it is worth checking:

- Battery condition (cold weather reduces battery efficiency)
- Antifreeze concentration
- Tyre tread depth and pressure
- Wiper blades and screen wash level
- Brake condition

Our team offers a comprehensive winter health check. Book yours today at www.germanauto.co.uk.
