Why "General Maintenance" Isn't So General After All
Think of routine car maintenance like your annual check up with the doctor. You do it to catch small issues before they become big, expensive problems. Skipping these regular checks can lead to:
- Costly Repairs: A small, ignored issue (like low fluid) can escalate into a major component failure (like an engine overheating!). Ouch!
- Reduced Safety: Worn brakes, bad tires, or faulty lights compromise your safety and those around you, especially in unpredictable Chicago traffic.
- Lower Fuel Efficiency: A well maintained car runs more efficiently, meaning fewer trips to the gas pump, a win for your wallet!
- Shorter Car Lifespan: Regular care helps your vehicle last longer, delaying the need for a costly new car purchase.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your car is in tip top shape means one less thing to worry about when you're cruising down the Kennedy or navigating side streets.

What's Included in Your Car's Wellness Check Up?
"General Maintenance" covers a lot of ground, but it's all about making sure the core systems of your vehicle are doing their job. While your owner's manual has a specific schedule for your car, here are the vital services we focus on to keep your ride healthy:
Oil Change & Filter Replacement
This is the big one! Fresh oil keeps your engine lubricated and cool. We'll replace your old, dirty oil and filter with the right type for your vehicle.
Tire Rotation & Inspection
Even tire wear means longer lasting tires and a smoother ride. We'll rotate your tires and check their pressure and tread depth.
Fluid Checks & Top Offs
We'll inspect and top off all essential fluids: coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Leaks or low levels can spell trouble!
Battery Test & Cleaning
Chicago's weather can be tough on batteries. We'll test its health and clean any corrosion to ensure you're not left stranded.
Belt & Hose Inspection
We'll check for cracks, fraying, or bulges in crucial belts (like the serpentine belt) and hoses, which can lead to breakdowns if they fail.
Air Filter & Cabin Air Filter Replacement
A clean engine air filter helps your engine breathe better and improves fuel efficiency. A clean cabin air filter keeps the air inside your car fresh.
Brake Inspection
We'll visually inspect your brake pads, rotors, and calipers to make sure your stopping power is always on point.
Wiper Blade Check
Clear visibility is non negotiable, especially in Chicago's unpredictable weather. We'll make sure your wipers are ready for anything.
Light Check
Headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights, we'll ensure all your lights are working so you can see and be seen.
