Routine automotive upkeep prevents premature mechanical wear and keeps your vehicle performing reliably. Postponing essential transmission flushes, belt replacements, or suspension inspections can turn straightforward maintenance items into extensive mechanical repairs down the line. Highline vehicles require specialized oversight to protect complex handling characteristics and precision shifting assemblies.
At Autos of Chicago, located at 1555 East Rand Road in Arlington Heights, IL, our certified technicians deliver complete maintenance options for Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Land Rover, Volkswagen, Nissan, Mini Cooper, and more.
4 Critical Maintenance Items to Protect Your Ride
Keep your car or SUV running safely across Chicagoland with these essential services:
-
Step 1: Transmission Fluid Flush & Filter Replacement
We use manufacturer-recommended fluid variations to clear away internal friction materials, which keeps gears running cool and shifting smoothly. -
Step 2: Full Brake Component Inspection & Pad Service
Our technicians examine brake pads, rotors, and calipers on every visit, clearing away road debris and refilling hydraulic brake fluid to ensure firm stopping response. -
Step 3: Strut, Shock, and Suspension System Maintenance
Worn suspension assemblies compromise highway stability, cause uneven tire tread wear, and increase braking distance. We inspect rubber bushings, links, and dampening struts thoroughly. -
Step 4: Engine Air Filter & Cabin Filter Replacement
Replacing clogged intake filters keeps your combustion chamber clean to support strong fuel efficiency, while a fresh cabin air filter prevents external allergens from getting inside the vehicle.
