You don’t need a specialty shop – Performance Unlimited works on all vehicles, foreign and domestic

For some folks, it’s easy finding an auto repair shop, right? Not for you though. You drive that Volkswagen. Or, maybe, you drive a Subaru or a Daewoo. Whatever your car, it’s not one of those ‘run-of-the-mill’ vehicles that everyone else drives. And that poses a problem when you bring the car to an auto repair shop.

You can’t bring that more unique vehicle to just any repair shop. You might wind up hearing your mechanic say something to the boss along the line of, “I never did work on one of these before. This should be fun.” You sure don’t want to hear that. You want someone who is qualified to work on your vehicle.

In most cases, you’ll wind up at a shop that specializes in your particular vehicle. That doesn't, however, have to be the case. There are some shops, such as Performance Unlimited in Ringwood, where their ASE Certified auto repair technicians are fully qualified for most makes and models, foreign and domestic. They bring equal knowledge to the process, whether your car is a Lexus or a BMW, a Jaguar or a Ferrari.

At a shop, such as Performance Unlimited, this is a statement of pride as well as a commitment to meet the requirements of all their customers. It means that, when a customer buys a new Hyundai, there is no need for a tearful farewell. When your Hyundai requires maintenance or service, just bring it on in; the auto repair technicians at Performance Unlimited are prepared to provide the same high quality of service.

The ability to service any make or model also depends on the availability of the right tools and equipment. For instance, do they have the necessary hand tools to do the job right or will they try to make do with the a tool that wasn't made for that purpose or that vehicle? Do they have the correct diagnostic equipment for your vehicle?

At a full service auto repair shop, such as Performance Unlimited, the answer is unequivocally, “Yes, they do.”

At Performance Unlimited, they not only have the tools and equipment to do the job right, their experience includes full knowledge of scheduled maintenance. The auto repair technicians at Performance Unlimited are well aware of the value of timely maintenance.

Timely automotive maintenance is the key to reducing the cost of automobile ownership and expanding the durability of the vehicle, foreign or domestic, a car, a truck or an SUV.

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...
