Colorado adventure season is here.

Whether you're headed into the mountains for a weekend camping trip, loading up for an overlanding expedition, or simply relying on your rig to get you where pavement ends, maintenance matters.

This Jeep came in for service before its next adventure, because it's a lot easier to handle repairs in the shop than on the side of a trail.

From suspension inspections and drivetrain service to routine maintenance and diagnostics, we help keep your vehicle ready for wherever the road—or lack thereof—takes you.

Planning a big trip this summer? Schedule an inspection beforehand and hit the trail with confidence.————————————————————————————————————

There are few sounds better than a Porsche GT3 at full song.

This GT3 came in for an exhaust upgrade, giving it the soundtrack the car deserves. More character, more emotion, and a whole lot more reason to roll the windows down.

Performance cars are meant to be experienced—not just driven. Sometimes the right modification isn't about horsepower. It's about making every drive feel special.

Thinking about upgrades for your Porsche? From maintenance and diagnostics to performance modifications and track prep, we've got you covered.

Ready to make your Porsche sound as good as it drives?

VIR gave us everything.

Late nights in the garage. On-track battles. Quick fixes. Big lessons. And heartbreak with less than four laps remaining.

What looked like another challenging weekend for Team Big Mission turned into one of the most rewarding races we've run. Both 777 and 134 taught us valuable lessons, our new crew stepped up in a big way, and the entire team worked tirelessly to keep us in the fight.

With six minutes left, 777 was still charging hard before an unexpected loss of power brought our race to an end.

But that's not the story of this weekend.

The story is perseverance. The story is teamwork. The story is coming home with more knowledge than we arrived with and a clear plan for what's next.

Watkins Glen, we're coming for you.

Enjoy the recap.

Good service starts long before a vehicle ever enters the shop.

This new Liqui Moly bulk oil system allows us to store, dispense, and manage our most commonly used oils more efficiently than ever before. That means cleaner processes, quicker service times, and less waste—all while continuing to use the premium lubricants we've trusted for years.

We're also taking a proactive approach by expanding our on-site oil inventory. By keeping a larger supply of Liqui Moly products in stock, we're better positioned to maintain consistent service and pricing for our customers, regardless of fluctuations in the market.

The goal isn't to rush cars through the shop. The goal is to spend less time handling containers and more time inspecting, diagnosing, and servicing vehicles properly.

Whether you drive a Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Toyota, Ford, or just about anything in between, your vehicle deserves quality fluids and a team that cares about the details.

Need an oil service? Schedule your next appointment and experience the difference.

Top down. Flat-six singing. Fresh fluids.

This Porsche Carrera S Cabriolet came in for routine fluid service—one of the most important (and most overlooked) ways to protect the long-term health of a performance car.

Oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant—these aren't lifetime fluids, no matter what the marketing says. Staying ahead of maintenance is what keeps great cars driving like great cars.

If your Porsche is due for service, now is the perfect time to get it ready for summer drives, mountain roads, and weekend adventures.

Schedule your service today and keep your Porsche performing at its best.

That’s racing.

With just 6 minutes left in the race, 777 was still out there fighting. The car had overcome setback after setback all weekend and was continuing to push forward when it suddenly lost all power entering Turn 3 and came to a stop on the side of the track.

Less than four laps from the finish.

It’s a painful way to end a race weekend, but we’re not leaving VIR feeling defeated.

This weekend taught us a lot. We found weaknesses. We found strengths. We learned more about both 777 and 134, and both cars will be heading home with a list of improvements to make before the next round.

More importantly, this weekend reminded us that none of this happens without the people behind the scenes. We had some new crew members with us this weekend who jumped right in and helped keep all the gears turning. Racing is a team sport, and we’re grateful for every person who helped make this weekend possible.

We may not have gotten the finish we wanted, but we’re leaving with something just as valuable: experience.

We’ll regroup, make improvements, and come back stronger.

Next stop: Road America.

See you there.

Just endurance racing things.

Race Control let us know the hood on 777 wasn’t fully secured and needed some attention before it decided to become an air brake and redecorate the windshield.

We brought the car in, took a look, and found the culprit—a broken hood pin.

Fortunately, this wasn’t a major repair. A little ingenuity, a little speed tape, and a quick pit stop later, the Liqui Moly machine was sealed up and headed back out to continue the fight.

Not every issue requires a complete teardown. Sometimes the best repairs are the simple ones.

777 is back on track, still charging, and still proving that this team doesn’t quit.

Nothing is stopping this crazy train.

One of the coolest parts of the Zenith paddock is getting to see what teams go through behind the scenes.

We gave the #41 E46 some love at Barber, and they’ve earned another spotlight here at VIR.

Last night, while most of us were calling it a day, these guys were still in the garage chasing down a wiring short. Staying in the pit lane suites, we could literally hear the car fire up around midnight as they worked to get everything sorted.

Long night. More challenges this morning.

But that’s racing.

Instead of letting the setbacks define their weekend, they’ve been out there crushing laps all day long and proving why persistence matters in this sport.

It’s easy to celebrate the victories. It’s the late nights, problem solving, and determination that really tell the story.

Glad to see the number 41 back out there doing what it does best.
