Chicago Auto Body Shop Releases Winter Car Maintenance Tips And Services

September 08, 2015 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Albany Auto Body and Repair in Chicago, Illinois has released winter car maintenance tips and services to help residents get their vehicles ready for the upcoming colder months. Mike Widdes, owner of the Chicago auto body repair company, stated, "We're just a few weeks away from cold weather, and there are a number of things that consumers can do to ensure that their vehicles are ready."

Widdes points out that one of the main things to consider going into winter is antifreeze. He said, "This is often the first thing our customers think of when it comes to winterizing their vehicle." Antifreeze should be checked prior to cold weather, but not everyone will need to flush and refill the radiator.

Widdes explains that most consumers have winter ready vehicles with regards to antifreeze levels, and that newer cars have a coolant that is designed to last up to five years or 150,000 miles, although it is a good idea to have the vehicle checked just to be sure. "Chicago can see some really frigid temperatures," he states. "And it's much better to be safe than sorry."

The auto body shop Chicago residents may rely on can check antifreeze levels, and ensure that cars are ready for cold weather. Widdes recommends that tires also be checked, to ensure that they can handle snow and ice that could be a problem in some northern areas.

Albany Auto Body and Repair, which as more than 120 Yelp reviews with an average of five stars, offers a full range of winterization services, in addition to other auto maintenance and repairs. A family owned and operated business for more than 30 years, the company provides services for repair of auto body Chicago residents need, including brakes, transmissions, various hoses, and other repairs.

Widdes states that customers can call for an appointment to schedule their winterization, and ensure that their car, truck, or SUV is ready for the snow and ice that may threaten the Chicago region with the coming months. He said, "We can inspect the vehicle, and generally make sure that our customers are good to go for winter."
