Your Import Auto Repair Authority
There are a lot of local auto shops that are capable of repairing many things on vehicles, and that’s great!

In the Iowa City area, Whitedog Import Auto Service is your best choice for your import auto service and repair needs. Most of today’s imports are extremely complex machines. Since we opened our doors in 1975, we have been gaining knowledge, specialty tools, and top of the industry training to keep up with the ever changing technology that your import is equipped with. The only way to ensure that your transportation runs reliably for as long as possible is to select technicians who are knowledgeable and equipped to handle your import’s unique needs.

Complex Vehicles, Proper Equipment and Tools
If you drive a European auto (Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Maserati, Mini Cooper, Porsche, Volkswagen, Volvo) or a Japanese vehicle (Acura, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota), rely on Whitedog Import Auto Service for all your preventive maintenance services and repairs. Be sure to check our tab related to your specific make. We maintain the same quality diagnostic equipment as a dealership. Yet, you won’t have to incur the inconvenience or extra expense of returning to the new car store for mechanical work. Our technicians are honest and thorough, yet many repairs can be completed on the same or the following day as your appointment. Whether you need brake repair, suspension repair, or complex electrical problems solved, we’re here to keep your car operating safely and at its best! You can be assured that we have the proper tools for your special automobile. That’s important because general tools don’t always fit your import, particularly brands such as Volkswagen and Audi. What’s more, our familiarity with your model allows for more efficient and effective work, saving you time and money.
A Friendly Portion of Customer Service
While we’re confident in our ability to perform the highest caliber work on your import, we also understand the importance of providing outstanding customer service. We offer before and after-hours drop-off and pick-up. If you’re waiting on site, take advantage of our free coffee and wifi to continue working or keep yourself entertained. Best of all, we protect your repair investment with a generous 24 month/24,000-mile warranty. Whitedog Import Auto Service respects your vehicle, and we respect you, explaining what’s needed and why, every step of the way.

For any car that is turbocharged, here are a few care tips that go a long way:
1. Warm your car up – turbocharged cars need to be warmed up before driving them hard. 👍
2. Let your engine cool down – long drives and fast driving can cause your turbocharger to generate a good amount of heat over time. Allow your car to idle for 30 seconds before turning it off. Creating this habit can help you avoid blockages in your turbocharger. 👍👍

No matter how strong you are, a battle with a steering wheel without a working power steering pump could be a battle you would most definitely lose.
If you hear noise while turning your wheel or hear squealing noises when the vehicle starts, this could be a warning that there's a problem with one of your belts or the steering pump may be failing. Stop by today if you experience any of these signs!
