Fall Service and Maintenance in Libertyville, IL
Whether you have a luxurious vehicle or a passenger car, we at Napleton Cadillac of Libertyville can prepare your model for the fall season through a series of services. Continue reading this guide to find out what procedures can help you and your crewmates to remain comfortable through the season.
HVAC Check and Cabin Air Filter Replacement
The Libertyville area can see up to 78°F during the beginning of fall, while later in the season there are lows in the mid to low 30s. Therefore, it’s important to have the HVAC checked in your Cadillac CT4 or XT5. Doing so will get you and your passengers ready for those cool days. One of the ways our technicians inspect the HVAC system is by checking the pressure of the heater core. First, they’ll monitor how the climate control system is putting out warm air, and then use tools to see if the feature has the right PSI for long-term use. Next, the cabin air filter is evaluated. If this part appears to be aged or clogged, our mechanics will replace it to further optimize ventilation from the vents.
Fluid Check
Drivers who plan on commuting to work or going on trips to Sunrise Beach should consider having the oil changed. If you receive routine maintenance, your Cadillac Escalade or CT5 likely has oil that requires a fresh batch. Newer models typically use synthetic oil, which contains byproducts that maintain the health of innovative powertrains. Older models can benefit from synthetic blends, which are chemically designed to be more versatile for aged engines. Another advantage of vehicles from 2015 and above is their high-quality coolant. This substance, flowing through the water pump and radiator, is less corrosive. Plus, it has the potential to last up to 10 years. If you’d like to check the status of your coolant, our Service Center team can test whether or not it should be replaced.
Tires and Brakes
If you’re going to travel on Skokie Highway this fall, we recommend having the tires inspected. Drivers who regularly receive tire rotations can maximize the life of the rubber tread on tires, and you can optimize fuel efficiency when the procedure is done. Tires that have been on your vehicle for three to five years will likely need to be replaced with a new set. Plus, you should consider having the brake pads evaluated. Typically, padding for your braking system lasts up to 70,000 miles. However, this estimate can be as low as 25,000 miles if you’re in stop-and-go traffic congestion. The life of your brake pads is also determined by the type that’s equipped on your vehicle. Once our technicians inspect your tires and brakes, they can determine the next step.
