As the seasons change and temperatures begin to rise, it’s the perfect time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road ahead. At Real Autohaus Automotive, we’re proud to serve communities throughout the Chicagoland suburbs — including St. Charles, Westmont, Arlington Heights, and Rolling Meadows — with expert auto repair and maintenance services. Warmer weather brings its own set of challenges for your vehicle, so here are a few tips to keep your car in peak condition all season long.
Nothing’s worse than getting stuck in traffic without a working air conditioner. If your system isn’t blowing cold air or has a strange odor, let our technicians inspect it. We’ll check for refrigerant leaks, inspect belts, and make sure your A/C is running efficiently.
Hot pavement can accelerate tire wear. Make sure your tires are properly inflated, have adequate tread depth, and are aligned correctly. If you’re unsure, swing by any of our Real Autohaus Automotive locations for a tire inspection.
Oil changes are essential for engine health, especially in the heat. Warmer temperatures can cause oil to break down faster, reducing its effectiveness. Our team will get you set up with the right oil and filter for your vehicle.
Extreme temperatures (cold or hot) can impact your battery’s life. We'll check the charge and overall condition so you’re not left stranded when you least expect it.
Hot weather can cause rubber components like belts and hoses to become brittle or crack. Let our ASE-certified technicians at Real Autohaus Automotive do a thorough inspection to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Rainstorms can come out of nowhere in spring and summer. Make sure your wiper blades are in good condition and your washer fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid levels are all topped off.
