Daily Procedures Update – Contactless Drop Off and Pick Up

Due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic we have made a few changes to our daily procedures. When you schedule your vehicle please be prepared for contactless drop off and pick up. We ask that you drop off your vehicle downstairs, in the lower lot, directly across from the Acupuncture Clinic. Look for the big Hillside Imports sign and the little orange cones that mark off our parking spaces.

If you have visited us before you will recognize it as the parking space where you pick up your vehicle. You will then walk over to the building to the downstairs office – please do not walk or drive up the steep driveway. To the right of the downstairs office door is a black lock box that says, “Night Drop/Early Bird”.

There are envelopes provided at the lock box, please fill out your contact info and include any notes on that envelope.

Key goes into the envelope! Envelope goes into the slot! Send a text to 503-758-1476 when you have dropped off your keys in the lock box.

We will sanitize before and after work is done and call you with recommendations and estimates. When your work is complete payment will be accepted via any major credit card and an email receipt will be sent. You will need to sign the receipt to authorize your purchase. If you will be signing your receipt on your smart phone be prepared to put your phone in landscape mode, you can then sign right on the screen. If you use a computer, you will use your mouse to sign. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these very unusual times.

We look forward to getting back to seeing you face to face in the future. In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy!

Choose Hillside Imports for your Audi maintenance

By Krista Rodriguez • February 24, 2025

Regular maintenance for an Audi, or any vehicle for that matter, is crucial to ensuring that it runs smoothly and reliably. Here are some key reasons why Audi maintenance is important: 1. Longevity of the Vehicle Proper maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your Audi. Regular servicing ensures that parts like the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension are in optimal condition, reducing the likelihood of premature wear and tear. 2. Optimal Performance Audis are known for their high performance, but this can only be sustained through proper care. Routine maintenance ensures that the engine, drivetrain, and other key systems continue to operate efficiently, which keeps the car performing at its best. 3. Safety Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues such as brake wear, tire health, and fluid levels, which are critical for safe driving. A well-maintained Audi will handle better and reduce the risk of accidents due to mechanical failure. 4. Resale Value A well-maintained vehicle holds its value better. If you plan to sell or trade in your Audi, a solid maintenance history will make it more appealing to potential buyers and might help you secure a higher resale price. 5. Warranty Protection Keeping up with the recommended maintenance schedule ensures that your vehicle remains in good standing with its warranty terms. Skipping maintenance could potentially void the warranty, leaving you responsible for costly repairs. If we find anything that should be covered under your Audi warranty, we will be sure to alert you and give you the appropriate referral for repair. 6. Fuel Efficiency A well-maintained engine, clean air filters, and properly inflated tires help improve fuel efficiency. Audis, like most cars, will consume more fuel if they aren’t properly maintained, leading to higher running costs. 7. Cost Savings in the Long Run Regular servicing can identify small issues before they become larger, more expensive problems. By catching problems early, you can avoid costly repairs and downtime, saving money in the long run. 8. Technology & Electronics Health Modern Audis come with a host of advanced tech and electronic systems, like the infotainment, sensors, and driver assistance features. Regular software updates and maintenance help ensure these systems function as designed, avoiding glitches and malfunctions. In short, regular Audi maintenance helps keep the car running smoothly, enhances its performance, and avoids costly repairs. It's an investment in the car's future reliability and longevity. 9. An Added Bonus Here at Hillside Imports we remind our customers that you can fix the car on YOUR terms, or on its terms. Preventative maintenance can avoid costly breakdowns. No one wants to be stranded on the side of Highway 217 waiting for a tow truck to fit you into their busy schedule and bring your car to the shop. Your time is better spent on doing the things that matter most to you! Let us take care of your Audi so you can take care of what matters most. In short, regular Audi maintenance helps keep the car running smoothly, enhances its performance, and avoids costly repairs. It's an investment in the car's future reliability and longevity.
