Uber has existed in Australia since 2012. Since its beginning as a simple ride-sharing phone application, the company now have a range of services, including food delivery (UberEATS) and their prestige range, UberSELECT and UberBLACK.
This week, we talk you through which German prestige vehicles can be used as Uber vehicles.
Welcome to the second half of our BMW names posts. Earlier this week, we talked about model names (330d, for example). We also covered how BMW got its name. We told you that this week we would write about the two other components of BMW names: BMW engine codes and the chassis codes.
And so we present to you: How BMW Names Their Fleet 2.
At Volks Affair, we specialise in German cars: Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen and BMW. Over the past month, we have discussed on this blog how three of our four prestige vehicles, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen, name their models. And so over this week and next, we will finish off our nomenclature series by explaining to you how BMW names their machines.
And, like Mercedes-Benz and Audi, it’s all to do with codes.
This year, BMW have updated their BMW i range. We look at the manufacturer’s ecological range and discuss the differences between the BMW i3 and the i3 REx.
It’s getting colder! We’re using our car heaters more and we imagine you are too. It is the season to stay toasty but what do you do if your heaters are under-performing? At Volks Affair, Melbourne’s German car service specialists, we have written down three common heater problems to keep you warm this winter!
When the cold weather starts moving in, you can come to Volks Affair to get prepared. We’ll take care of every aspect of your vehicle – from cleaning the windows to assessing your tyres and checking the suspension and steering. Our services will give you the peace of mind you need to drive confidently throughout the winter.
Optimising vision
Rain, sleet and grey skies can seriously reduce visibility. For maximum safety and comfort while driving, it’s important to do everything you can to see better. Driving through terrible weather is bad enough – adding dirty windows to the mix is even worse. Here at Volks Affair, we’ll give your windows a clean to end all cleans. Both the inside and outside of the glass will be washed, with meticulous attention to detail.
Assessing your tyres
Driving with bald or worn-out tyres is incredibly dangerous at any time of year. But it’s even more treacherous when winter rolls around, making the roads icy and slippery. The good news is that if you bring your vehicle into Volks Affair before the cold weather hits, we’ll assess your tyres accurately and let you know exactly what state they’re in. If it turns your tyres are ready for changing, we can organise an excellent deal on new ones.
Checking suspension and steering
Responsive steering and optimum suspension levels are also crucial to safety during inclement weather. When there’s a risk of ice, rain or snow, you must feel 100% confident that you’re in control of your vehicle at all times. We’ll give your suspension a thorough and accurate assessment and fix up any problems. We’ll also make sure that your steering column is in good working order.
