Be Prepared for Winter With a Car “CheckUp."

You probably haven’t used your heater since last spring so make sure to test that every vent is blowing hot air. And check your front and rear window defrosters to ensure that they are working properly. If they’re taking too long to heat up, you may need to have your heater and defroster systems serviced. You’ll be glad you did…in January.

This one’s easy. Just walk around your vehicle at dusk with your lights turned on. Check the headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights, and emergency flashers. If there are any broken bulbs, we can replace them for you. If they're all working, make sure your lights are clean. You'll be a lot safer with better visibility this winter.

Windshield wipers don’t last as long as you’d think (or want). You may have noticed streaks on your windshield, so check them now before bad weather arrives. Replace your windshield wipers and check your washer fluid to make sure it’s full. Now is also a good time to inspect your windshield. If you notice any cracks or chips, give us a call to have it checked.

A clogged cabin air filter can dramatically reduce airflow through your car's heater, stressing the blower and even the engine. Having your filter replaced will save you time and money in the long run.

Make sure to take your car to your local car wash and give it a full cleaning inside and out. Make sure to vacuum the interior too. Taking care of your vehicle inside and out ensures you'll get the most resale value when you choose to sell or trade it in.

Regular maintenance makes your car perform better, gives it a longer life, and helps you stay safer on the road. We understand and we also want your car to work its best and last a good, long time.

Schedule service with us after you check your car maintenance schedule and do the work we recommend above.

And remember: we may be the nearest, and best, car maintenance to you. Get quality and value. Trust the Napleton Cadillac of Libertyville service center.
