Performance Unlimited builds friendship and trust with quality auto repair services

The auto repair technicians at Performance Unlimited, 5415 Austin Court, Ringwood, don’t know the meaning of down time. It seems they’re always busy. Of course, that’s the nature of the business for an auto repair shop with a long-standing reputation for superior workmanship and customer service.

The other day, a customer came in the door at Performance Unlimited and, as he handed his keys to owner Denny Norton, continued to the cozy waiting area beyond the front counter. Addressing the customer by his first name, Norton said, “Hello” and then apologized that there were a few cars ahead of him.

“That’s OK,” the customer said as he took a seat. “I’ll wait.”

Some things are worth waiting for and that includes quality auto repair services. Of course, Norton is always willing to drop off and pick up clients in the area when more extensive repairs are required. But, watching the interaction between Norton and his customers, it’s quickly apparent that his customers are completely at ease putting their vehicles in the skilled hands at Performance Unlimited.

Anyone who has spent some time at the auto repair shop, and has watched Norton and his staff interact with their customers, will agree that the relationships between Norton, his mechanics and his customers are based on mutual respect.

One can learn a lot about an auto repair shop by observing the clientele. At Performance Unlimited, the customers are as friendly as the staff. The customers know that Norton and his highly trained auto technicians have the customer’s best interest at heart. It’s a great way to do business and an equally wonderful way to make good friends.

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...

Get out to McHenry Music Festival for a good time and music near to home

Some folks here in McHenry will load up the car and head out to Red Rock Amphitheater near Denver to see a show. Some will go to the MSG Sphere near Las Vegas. Some will go to the Bonaroo Festival Concert to see a show. That’s quite a bit of driving and you’d better make sure your vehicle is up to the trip. What happens, however, if something goes wrong – if your vehicle breaks down while driving there or back? What happens if the show is canceled, as happened this year with the Bonaroo Festival? We’re talking about some serious inconvenience, aren’t we? Wherever you go, whether your driving to Colorado, Nevada, Tennessee or anywhere else in this continent, you want to perform your due diligence and make sure the vehicle is up for the trip before you go. And it doesn’t really matter if you’re driving somewhere to see some live music or for any other purpose. A breakdown can be costly and may put you at the mercy of weather conditions or nefarious characters that come across you while y...
