Classic ToyotaOur Toyota dealership serving Chicago knows how brutal the winters can be, especially to your vehicle. Fortunately, warm weather is on the horizon and that means it’s time to schedule a service appointment to fix winter damage and get ready for spring car driving. Classic Toyota offers free multi-point inspections, so there’s no excuse!

Here are a few of the most important areas to check after the winter season:

  • Tires: If you were using winter tries, it’s time to take these off. If you weren’t, it’s important to check tread depths and wheel alignment. All the ice, snow, and salt can really harm your tires.
  • Battery: Batteries and cold weather do not mix well. You want to make sure your battery isn’t going to die on you when the weather’s warm.
  • Coolant Level: Hot summer temperatures are only weeks away, and you want your engine to handle it. We’ll be happy to check your coolant level and top you off if needed.
  • Brakes: Brakes also get an extra workout trying to stop on snow and ice. This is a great time to make sure your brake pads are up to par.
  • Oil Change: When is the last time you got an oil change? If it was at the beginning of winter, it’s time to come to our Toyota service department.
  • Clean Your Car: Road salt gets everywhere in cars and can damage your paint, interior, and harm important driving systems. Classic Toyota offers a free car wash with every service appointment, and we also offer detailing services to get your car looking great for spring.

Make an appointment or visit Classic Toyota at 515 N. Green Bay Road in Waukegan, Illinois to repair winter damage to your car. Our Toyota service team is ready to help you get ready for spring today!
