Most Kenmore errands are shorter than the drive to a dealership. Groceries, a class at Bastyr, the loop past Log Boom Park, a seaplane taking off over Kenmore Air Harbor. Ten minutes, tops. That happens to be all it takes to reach a shop east on SR-522 that touches nothing but Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche and Volkswagen, and has done so since 2004. Inglewood, Uplake, Moorlands, Arrowhead: same short hop from every one of them. A service light ignored through one wet Puget Sound winter stops being a small job.

Quick Takeaways

  • Ten minutes east: SR-522 runs from Kenmore into Woodinville, with no I-405 and no southbound crawl to a Bellevue dealer.
  • Six marques, one file: Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche and Volkswagen, each on the diagnostic system its factory wrote.
  • Short trips do damage: two- and three-mile lake-shore hops are hard on batteries, oil and rotors.
  • Nothing lost: free loaner cars, online booking, and a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty on the work.

Servicing the Best Brands

By focusing on these brands, our ASE certified mechanics are able to provide the highest quality services possible. With years of experience, our technicians are confident that they can get any issues diagnosed and repaired right the first time, so you’re back on the road in no time! For those larger jobs, we do offer complimentary loaner cars so that we can make sure that the job is always done right without any inconvenience to you.

Two-mile errands are the worst duty cycle a car can have. Oil never reaches full operating temperature, so moisture and unburned fuel stay in the crankcase instead of cooking off, and on an engine running a 10,000-mile service interval that is exactly how sludge starts. Batteries suffer too. A stop-start system on a BMW or a Mercedes pulls hard at every light, and a run to the Burke-Gilman trailhead never puts the charge back. Rotors surface-rust between trips. None of it is dramatic, and all of it quietly shortens the life of parts you'd rather not buy early.

Households around here rarely stop at one European car. The Audi commutes and the Porsche comes out in July, and neither one should need its own shop with its own separate stack of paperwork. So each marque gets the system its manufacturer built: VCDS for Audi and Volkswagen, XENTRY for Mercedes-Benz, PIWIS for Porsche, BMW-compatible factory tooling for BMW and MINI. One history file. One team that already knows the quirks. Two cars, one service record, and nobody re-explaining the Porsche's past to a stranger every summer.

The MINI in the same driveway runs on BMW software and needs the same bench.

Tire work is the easiest job to put off. NHTSA reports that properly inflated tires save as much as 11 cents per gallon, yet only 19 percent of consumers inflate properly. On a wide-tire German sedan, an alignment out by half a degree will scrub the inner shoulder off a set of tires long before you ever notice the car pulling. Check the pressures cold. Better still, bring it by, because a rotation and an alignment check take less time than the drive in from Arrowhead.

Every repair carries a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty. Two years is a long stretch to stand behind a job, and it changes how the work gets done, because nobody wants a comeback they're on the hook for that far out. Technicians here are ASE-certified. Parts are OEM or OEM-equivalent rather than the cheapest line in the catalog, and the 4.8 rating across 220 Google reviews got built one honest estimate at a time. Nothing gets ordered before you've seen it written down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche and Volkswagen. Nothing outside that list. And that is exactly why the factory-level diagnostic equipment for each of those six marques is already sitting in the building rather than being borrowed for the afternoon.

They can. Repeated drives of a couple of miles never fully recharge a battery, and stop-start systems draw it down faster. A battery test takes minutes and is worth doing before winter. If most of your driving is under three miles, one longer run a week helps more than people expect.

Yes, free. Ask when you book online, leave the car in the morning, and drive back to Kenmore in the loaner.

We do. Alignment is part of the tire and suspension work here, and it matters most on the low-profile setups so many European cars run, where a small error eats the inside shoulder of a tire in a few thousand miles.
