Taking delivery of your newly purchased pre-owned vehicle should be a celebration, not the start of maintenance headaches. After driving off our lot at 1555 East Rand Road in Arlington Heights, IL, we want you to experience our certified service department firsthand. That is why every qualified vehicle purchase at Autos of Chicago includes a Complimentary First Service: “Your First Oil Change Is On Us.”

This introductory offer is designed to introduce you to our master technicians, establish a verified digital service history for your vehicle, and ensure that your first routine maintenance milestone costs you absolutely nothing out of pocket.


What Is Included in Your Complimentary First Service?

Unlike quick-lube chains that cut corners with generic bulk oil and rushed inspections, our introductory service appointment delivers comprehensive dealership-grade care:

  • 1. Manufacturer-Approved Full Synthetic Motor Oil: We refill your engine with the exact viscosity and chemical spec required by your vehicle's manufacturer (e.g., BMW Longlife, Mercedes-Benz 229.5, or Dexos-1 approvals).
  • 2. OEM Micro-Glass Oil Filter Replacement: We install a fresh factory-spec oil filter cartridge along with new internal O-rings and a crush washer to prevent leaks.
  • 3. Complete Multi-Point Safety Audit: Our technicians measure brake pad thickness, test battery cold-cranking output, inspect suspension bushings, and check tire pressure.
  • 4. Fluid Level Inspection & Top-Off: We check and top off windshield washer fluid, power steering fluid, and engine coolant.
