FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you specialize in European car repair near Perkasie, PA?
Yes! Joe Davis Autosport is Perkasie’s European automotive repair specialist. We focus on Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche, Saab, Volkswagen, and Volvo, using factory-level diagnostic tools and European-specific training to service your vehicle the right way. Our technicians train weekly to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and repair procedures.
Do you service non-European or domestic vehicles too?
Yes. While European vehicles are our specialty, we are equipped to service most makes and models. If it has an engine and wheels, we can help.
How much does European car repair typically cost?
Costs vary depending on the service, diagnostics, and parts needed. We provide upfront, transparent estimates and explain all recommendations through our Digital Vehicle Inspection with photos and notes. No surprises.
How do I know if my European car needs maintenance?
Warning lights, unusual noises, vibrations, fluid leaks, sluggish performance, or reaching scheduled mileage intervals are common signs. European cars are sensitive to skipped maintenance, so staying ahead prevents costly repairs. We can also create a custom long-term maintenance plan.
Do you offer same-day or next-day auto repair appointments?
Often, yes. Many services can be completed the same day, and next-day appointments are frequently available. Special-order parts or complex diagnostics may require additional time.
Can I get a loaner car or shuttle service during my repair?
Yes. We offer free loaner cars and a complimentary shuttle service. Please bring a valid driver’s license, credit card, and current insurance card. Loaner vehicles must be returned with a full tank of gas by 5:30 PM. Loaner cars cannot be kept overnight, and if you plan on taking tolls, please remember your E-ZPass. Our shuttle service is available within a 10-mile radius of our shop.
What is included in a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI)?
Our DVI includes photos, videos, technician notes, and diagnostic data sent directly to you through text or email. You see exactly what we see, allowing you to make informed decisions about your vehicle.
Do you offer dealership-level diagnostics for European vehicles?
Yes. We use the same factory diagnostic systems the dealerships use. Tools like BMW ISTA, Mercedes STAR, and Audi/VW ODIS allow us to read advanced fault codes, run brand-specific tests, and diagnose issues quickly and accurately, something generic scanners can’t do.
Are your parts Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), aftermarket, or dealer-sourced?
We primarily use OEM or OEM-equivalent parts to match factory performance and reliability. If high-quality aftermarket options exist, we will explain them clearly so you can choose what works best for you.
How long does a typical European car repair take?
Oil changes, inspections, and alignments are often completed the same day. Larger repairs depend on diagnostic needs and part availability. We always provide clear communication on timelines.
Do you offer alignments and tire services for European cars?
Yes. We use Hunter Road Force tire balancing equipment and Hunter Hawkeye Elite alignment technology, which is considered the gold standard for European vehicles. We offer tire installation, balancing, and precision alignment.
What warranty do you offer on repairs and parts?
We proudly offer a 24-month/24,000-mile warranty on most repairs. It is our guarantee of quality and peace of mind.
Can I drop my car off after hours at Joe Davis Autosport?
Absolutely. Park your vehicle, fill out a drop-off envelope, and place your keys in the secure drop box. We will contact you the next business day to begin your inspection.
How do I schedule an appointment for European auto repair?
You can schedule online through our website 24/7 or call us at (215) 703-9548. You will receive a confirmation text with your appointment details.

Yes. Our pre-purchase inspections include a full mechanical and electronic review, fault code scan, suspension evaluation, leak check, tire and brake health assessment, and photos. You will know exactly what you are buying.
Can you help with check-engine lights on European vehicles?
Absolutely. Whether it is a BMW drivetrain malfunction, Audi EPC light, Mercedes CEL, or anything else, we diagnose with factory-level scanning tools to identify the root cause quickly and accurately.
Do you update service records for my vehicle’s digital maintenance history?
Yes. For brands like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and VW, we can update your vehicle’s digital service log so your records remain complete.
Do you offer maintenance plans for long-term car care?
Yes. We create customized maintenance plans based on your vehicle, mileage, and driving habits, helping you keep your car running reliably for years to come.
Do you allow customer-supplied parts?
No. For quality and safety reasons, we do not install customer-supplied parts. We only use trusted Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or high-quality OEM-equivalent parts that we can stand behind.
