Many European imported vehicles are known for their top performance, outstanding luxury, and first-class performance.  That being said, even when considering this elite group of available options, not many come close to the reputation and glamour that Porsche provides. Some people consider Porsche to be a brand equivalent to any of the shiny adjectives one may use when describing a truly top-of-the-line automobile, and there is evidence to back that up.

Although a Porsche may be representative of a variety of themes, it is most often the quality itself that creates the demand for this vehicle.  From optimum acceleration and braking to incredibly fine control and responsive steering, there is no denying what a Porsche has to offer and once you have taken one for a spin, you can completely comprehend why so many drivers are enthusiasts.

The arrival of spring is perhaps one of those moments where car owners feel a complete relief, because they no longer have to use any type of material to melt the ice (such as salt and ash) to be able to drive well during that time of summer.

Therefore, to avoid worrying about whether your car is in good condition for that long-awaited Spring Break or summer trip, you can take your vehicle to BTR Chicago for a car inspection to clear up your doubts.
By conducting a basic car review, you are ensuring that your vehicle stays running smoothly for much longer and avoiding potential long-term problems. If you don’t do it in time, the consequences will [...]

Yes, especially if you have an air-cooled Porsche model. Regardless of whether it is for road or race track use, owners always bet on extracting the best performance from their vehicles as much as possible and they do so through a car tuning process. However, there is a method that can help your engine not only perform better, but last for a long time.

What is a Cabin Air Filter?
The cabin air filter is (forgive the redundancy) a filter located in the glove box of your Porsche that collects any pollutant particles that are in the air and sends said air through the heating and air conditioning systems, in order to maintain its quality at acceptable levels. It filters the following:

• Dust
• Mold spores
• Pollution
• Pollen

When Should I Replace My Cabin Air Filter?

In this blog post, we briefly discuss some common signs that you may need to get an auto repair sooner than you think.

Faulty Exhaust
Being the farthest part from the engine, the silencer is susceptible to corrosion due to acidic moisture. This moisture becomes particularly visible when the car revs and sprays moisture out of the exhaust. As a solution, a regular inspection of the exhaust for signs of corrosion is recommended.
