Import Preventative Maintenance in Minneapolis, MN & Surrounding Areas

Today’s vehicles may be built to last, but they can’t do it all on their own. No matter what make and model you drive, every vehicle requires preventative maintenance to keep it running smoothly for as long as possible. Much like your body requires a regular physical, your vehicle needs a regular check-up to see that everything is running properly and diagnose any small issues before they become costly catastrophes. The technicians at Uptown Imports are experts in all things vehicle maintenance from oil changes to brake inspections.

Oil Changes

A regular oil change is the easiest thing you can do to maintain the integrity of your engine. As engine oil ages, it breaks down and fails to lubricate engine components as it was designed to do. The general rule of thumb is to have your oil changed every 3,000 miles, but in reality, it depends on a variety of factors including the make and model of your car, driving habits, and the age of your car. If you are unsure of how often you should have your oil changed, consult with one of our expert technicians.

Automotive Fluids

Oil isn’t the only fluid that your vehicle relies on to run smoothly. Part of the regular maintenance required for your vehicle includes fluid checks and top-offs. Keeping fluids at the optimal level ensures that everything runs like clockwork.

Belts, Hoses, & Wires

Your vehicles’ belts, hoses, and wires may not seem so important, but they wear out just like any other part of the vehicle. It is a good idea to have them checked during your regular inspections and replaced every so often.

Tires

Tires don’t last forever, that is a given. Having your tires rotated, aligned, and monitored for wear and tear will prolong their lifespan and keep you safe from blowouts.

Brakes

A healthy braking system is crucial to the overall safety of your vehicle. Brake pads wear out over time and need to be replaced. When you come into Uptown Imports for routine service, ask our technicians to inspect your brakes. Replacing your pads on time not only keeps you from causing damage to your brakes, but it also keeps you and your loved ones out of a dangerous situation.

For all of your Minneapolis preventative maintenance needs, Uptown Imports is the auto repair shop that does it all. Call us today or schedule an appointment online to see what sets us apart from the competition.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m traveling cross country and my CarPlay was not working. I decided to stop in at uptown imports since they service Volvos. Without a appointment,John was more than accommodating in coming out and looking at my problem. He figured it out quickly, which was a big help to me. I highly recommend Uptown Imports for whatever your car’s issue might be!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I struggled to find a reliable shop for my Mercedes Benz. I wanted to make sure I could bring my car somewhere that I wouldn’t have to return to every three months or feel like I was getting ripped off like at the last shop I went to. Ever since I started bringing my car here, I haven’t gone anywhere else and I haven’t had any issues for a long time.

They were also very accommodating when I needed to drop off my car overnight. I really appreciate the customer service, especially Danna. She helped me process my payment over the phone so I didn’t have to change anything in my schedule.

Thank you all! I appreciate the great service and will see you again in a few months since I’ll likely need my brake pads changed soon. 🚗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m not sure I would recommend bringing your car to this establishment. I was having a lot of problems with my car, which all I got fixed here. I’ve given them a lot of my hard earned money, and they treated me kindly as long as that was the case. I sent my car there to get a diagnostic test, and decided not to get it fixed again because the car wasn’t worth the cost of the repairs. When I received my car back it was not put back together as it was. There was a huge piece of the undercarriage covering sitting in the back seat, getting grime and grease all over the seats. Also causing the remaining covering under the car to be dragging on the ground. Looked under the hood and there were cables unplugged, and random parts just sitting on top. After being a customer of their’s for at least a year, I expected better treatment of my car.  It has made selling it more difficult. Also not sure they do very thorough inspections, because I had the same mechanical issue happen after taking it there to get it fixed initially. They said it was caused by something else the second time, would’t guarantee the parts. Dana at the front desk is lovely, she was always very kind during my visits.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My car completely broke down on the side of the road with a bad alternator & Uptown Imports saved the day. Even though it was well past closing AND the day before a holiday John, the owner, was leaving as my tow truck pulled in and he re-opened his garage for me to bring my car in (as it was not drivable). This customer service only adds to the other great experiences I've had at Uptown in the last couple years. The team there has done magnificent work on my car, the reports they send you home with are invaluable for planning any remaining jobs needing to be done & Dana at the front desk is extremely helpful & able to answer all of your questions. I'm really glad I found Uptown Imports when I moved to Northeast.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brought my Q5 here to get my breaks serviced after receiving feedback from a Jiffy Lube that my break pads were a hazard and needed to be replaced.

Turns out they didn't.

Thank you to Dana, for being honest & so understanding. Definitely will be bringing my car here when I actually need to have my car serviced. It's hard to find reliable and trustworthy businesses, Uptown Imports is one of the few left!
