Why choose Shiftech for your vehicle’s servicing rather than a general garage?
The difference is not just a matter of mechanical expertise. It is a question of ensuring that the servicing is consistent with your vehicle’s specifications.
A general-purpose garage follows standard manufacturer intervals and specifications. This is sufficient for a vehicle in its original configuration used for everyday driving. It is not sufficient for a remapped vehicle, which produces more power and torque, places greater strain on its components, and requires maintenance tailored accordingly.
At Shiftech Limoges, the technicians carrying out your servicing understand the effects of remapping on the engine, gearbox and cooling system. Whether your vehicle has been tuned by us or elsewhere, we tailor the oil change intervals, oils and checks to its actual condition, not to a manufacturer’s specification sheet designed for a production vehicle.
This is also the advantage of a multi-service centre: if a check during the service reveals potential for optimisation (remapping, E85 conversion, fitting an intake system), we can offer to carry out the work during the same visit (subject to parts being in stock), without you having to go to another service provider.

Engine options
Vehicles accepted by Shiftech Limoges
Shiftech Limoges services vehicles of all makes and with all types of engines. Here are the details by engine type.
Diesel vehicles
Shiftech Limoges providesa full maintenance service for moderndiesel vehicles, particularly those with high-pressure direct injection engines (TDI, HDi, BlueHDi, dCi, CDI), which require specific fluids and maintenance intervals. Oil change using long-life oil in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications (VW 507.00, BMW LL-04, ACEA C3), replacement of air, fuel and oil filters, inspection of the particulate filter (DPF) and the condition of the injectors. For diesel vehicles with high mileage or those used extensively in urban driving, we systematically check the level of soot build-up in the particulate filter (FAP) and recommend appropriate solutions before the problem worsens.
The most common diesel models we service are: Volkswagen Golf TDI, Audi A4 TDI, BMW 320d and 520d, Mercedes C-Class CDI, Peugeot 508 BlueHDi, Renault Mégane dCi.

Petrol vehicles
Turbocharged petrol engines (TSI, TFSI, THP, TCe, N55, B58) have tight tolerances and specific oil requirements that generalist garages do not always address with the necessary rigour. At Shiftech Limoges, we tailor engine oils to the exact specifications of each engine, paying particular attention to remapped vehicles: an engine whose mapping has been modified places greater demands on the oil and requires shorter oil change intervals than those recommended by the manufacturer.
The most common petrol models we service: Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R, Audi S3 and RS3, BMW 1 Series and 3 Series, Renault Mégane RS, Peugeot 308 GTi, Seat Leon Cupra.

Hybrid vehicles
Shiftech Limoges carries outmaintenance on the combustion engine components of hybrid vehicles: engine oil changes, filter replacements, full servicing, and the inspection and replacement of brake pads and discs. The regenerative braking system in hybrid vehicles puts less strain on the mechanical brakes than a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle, so the brake pads wear out more slowly; however, regular checks are still essential to prevent the calipers from seizing up due to lack of use. The service covers only the combustion engine and mechanical components: any work on the high-voltage battery or the electric powertrain falls outside the centre’s scope of work.
Hybrid models regularly serviced at the centre: Toyota Yaris Hybrid, Toyota C-HR, Peugeot 3008 Hybrid, Renault Clio E-Tech, Ford Kuga FHEV, BMW 330e G20.
