Every day driving or performance driving – Ringwood’s Performance Unlimited has the answers

Performance Unlimited is well known as the place to go for superior auto repair services. However, as their name implies, Performance Unlimited is also the top performer in McHenry County for folks who want their rides to go a bit faster, a bit quicker and with a bit more torque.

A walk through the shop at Performance Unlimited reveals some of the evidence that the mechanics in here know their way around a family car engine as well as a high performance power plant. Sometimes the classic Chevy Corvette over there, or the ’57 Chevy Nomad here, the 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner on the lift: these all stand as testimony to the superior knowledge and skill the mechanics at Performance Unlimited bring to the table.

But performance isn’t merely limited to the horses under the hood; performance starts where the rubber meets the asphalt. Classic car collectors frequently turn to Performance Unlimited for complete restorations because they know that, when Performance Unlimited is done with the project, the car will roll out of the show as pristine as the day it rolled off the assembly line.

Last year, Performance Unlimited offered a suspension and steering tech workshop for area racers and enthusiasts. As owner Denny Norton said at the time, “Your suspension and steering are at least as important as what you have under the hood. True racers consider all aspects of their racecars and look for every trick that can give them an edge.”

Of course, for those who only want their vehicles to bring them safely to and from work, the grocery store, picking up children from school and other travels of life, Performance Unlimited is equally adept at providing peak performance, from optimal gas mileage, to reliability and the long life of their cars, for every day drivers.

So, whether you’re looking to cut your lap time at the track or you just want to make sure the car is ready for taking the family on vacation this summer, Performance Unlimited is the answer.

Is your antifreeze safe from freezing this Richmond winter

You still have time to have it checked Well, there’s no denying it – winter tends to get chilly here in Richmond. We have to deal with snow and ice on the roads, scraping the same off our windows and windshield, and staying warm while we drive. Of course, you had your antifreeze checked before winter rolled into town. What?! You didn’t have your antifreeze checked before winter clamped down on Richmond? So, how’s your antifreeze doing? If you haven’t had it checked, there’s really no way of knowing, is there? This car has overheated in the middle of a Richmond winter. But, on the other end of the spectrum, the antifreeze can also freeze if it's not up to its job. Hopefully, you haven’t had a serious problem with your antifreeze already. If you did, you’d probably know. When antifreeze fails, it’s a potentially catastrophic condition for your vehicle’s engine. You could have hoses that have burst because of freezing antifreeze. Worse than that, your engine block may have crac...

Blocks of ice falling from cars in McHenry could cause accidents or damage

We’ve all seen those blocks of snow falling from behind the rear tires of a car when the snow rolls into McHenry . Fortunately, they’re just packed snow that will disintegrate under your vehicle’s tires as you simply drive right through them, right? Don’t count on it. Those blocks of snow are often packed so tight, condensed by the thaw-and-freeze cycle, that they’re anything but oversized snowballs . They’re often more like boulders. Hit one of those blocks and the collision between the block and one of your tires could send you careening off the road or into oncoming traffic. In some cases, they’re so solid you could pound them with a sledgehammer with little effect. They truly can represent a serious road hazard. The problem is that it’s difficult to tell how solidly they’re packed when you see them on the road, left their unwittingly by another driver. Either way, your best bet is to try to avoid them. But you want to be careful dodging blocks of ice in the road, too. You need...

October 20 Hootenanny will benefit veterans with PTSD

Been to a Hootenanny lately? When you read that question did you ask, “What?” Well, if you have gone to a Hootenanny in a while, or if you don’t know what a hootenanny is, we have an event for Oct. 20 that will clear up either question. From 6 p.m. to Midnight, Saturday, Oct. 20, MC3, the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce business networking group, is helping to host an inaugural Veterans R&R Wild Horse Hootenanny at Beyond Stable Farm (11129 Rte. 176, Woodstock). The event will benefit Veterans R&R Operation Wild Horse. Operation Wild Horse serves veterans with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Working with the horses has proven to have an incredibly calming effect on the veterans. And, it’s good for the horses, too, rescued wild mustangs. This means that the hootenanny is for a very good cause. But, it’s also a lot of fun. So, what is a hootenanny? According to a Google search, a hootenanny is “an informal gathering with folk music and sometimes dancing.” The V...
