Technological change affecting European cars and SUVs is happening at a dizzying pace. Even if you pride yourself on understanding your vehicle, it’s becoming trickier to keep up on its inner workings.
That’s why it’s important to have a maintenance and repair shop you can trust to stay ahead of the curve on the equipment BMW, Mercedes, Audi and other manufacturers install in their vehicles, says Gary Watts, founder of Z Sport Euro, a division of Z Sport Automotive in Everett.
“For our staff it’s a constant process of moving forward,” he says of the training and upgrading undertaken by Z Sport technicians. “The way we look at it, if you’re not thinking ahead, you’re falling behind.”
Here’s how Z Sport Euro works for you:
- Your experts are on site – A key element in the Z Sport Euro technical team’s ability to keep your vehicle in tip-top shape is the work done by Gary’s son, Chuck Watts. As the company’s general manager and chief technical officer, Chuck is constantly updating his knowledge of new and emerging technologies and sharing that information with his management and staff. “Even our master technicians require refreshers every so often,” he says. “We’re constantly mapping where these cars are going, from hybrids to autonomous driving systems.”
- Convenience a major factor – Your time is important. Having your vehicle repairs and routine maintenance done locally rather than in Seattle helps you get on with your day sooner and may even save you money. Z Sport Euro, conveniently located on Broadway Avenue in Everett, also has a fleet of loaner cars available to get you where you need to go in the mornings. “All of our businesses are built on convenience, and that convenience is to our customers,” Gary says. “Because of that, the number of return customers we have is phenomenally high.”
- Can your car manage the heat? If you count on your vehicle’s air conditioning to maintain comfortable driving conditions, whether you’re going across town or across the state or country, it’s a good idea to have your system checked out before it’s no longer blowing cold air. Z Sport’s fully certified technicians include an AC check as part of your routine safety inspection before you head out on the road. Any repair needs for your vehicle are put in priority order and are communicated to you, Gary says.
