Are you heading out on a road trip this summer? Whether you’re going to another area of Illinois or even across the country, make sure your VW car or SUV can make the trip there and back. The last thing you want is to get stuck in the middle of nowhere because your tire blew or your car battery died. Take advantage of our complimentary multi-point vehicle inspection at Bill Jacobs Volkswagen, so you can have any failing parts repaired or replaced. We can identify any underlying problems so they can be resolved quickly before you hit the road. Our certified VW technicians can ensure the critical systems within your VW are operating at peak performance, so you can be confident that your Volkswagen will take you wherever you’d like to go. In addition to a full vehicle inspection, we recommend the following maintenance services.
Before you leave for a road trip, be sure to have the automotive fluids within your VW checked for appropriate levels and lack of contaminants. Since these fluids – including the transmission, brake, power steering fluids, motor oil, and coolant – deteriorate over time, debris and contaminants can build up. To effectively lubricate the critical components within your vehicle, these fluids need to be exchanged before the build-up compromises their efficacy.
Our certified Volkswagen technicians strongly recommend having your tires inspected for damage and uneven wear so that necessary maintenance can then be performed. If there is evidence of uneven wear, we can help prolong the life of your tires by rotating or balancing the tires or through wheel alignment services.
Make sure you can stay comfortable in the Illinois heat by having your air conditioner system inspected. We will check the individual components and test the system as a whole to ensure it is functioning at optimal levels. We can recharge the refrigerant for you and can replace the cabin air filter if needed.
Don’t get caught in the middle of nowhere with a dead car battery, hoping someone passing by can jump-start it. Have your battery inspected, and we will run full diagnostics to assess its remaining life. We can replace it for you if it has drained.
If you’re planning a summer road trip, make sure to have the maintenance services in this checklist completed before you head out. Our certified technicians can get your Volkswagen inspected, primed, and ready for your trip. You can schedule your appointment for automotive services over the phone or by using our simple online scheduling tool. We are open on Saturdays and provide a complimentary coffee and beverage bar. Don’t forget to take advantage of our complimentary multi-point inspection with each visit. Conveniently located in Naperville, we also serve the surrounding areas of Aurora, Bolingbrook, Wheaton, and Woodridge, Illinois.
