Patrick Maintenance
Performing simple and inexpensive maintenance on your vehicle can prevent issues like low gas mileage and save you around $1,200 a year on gasoline. A great way to know if you need maintenance done is if you feel any difference in the car’s performance or noises that the car is making.
It’s important to stay on top of the game when it comes to driving in the winter. If you feel as though your vehicle could use some maintenance before more snow comes, don’t hesitate to stop by and see us at Genesis of Schaumburg. Give us a call at 888-858-7418 or click here
As the temperatures drop more and more in ChicagoLand, the weather conditions will only worsen as well. It’s important to know if your vehicle has been outfitted with the proper tires for the season. We at Patrick Cars have fielded a lot of questions about what the differences are between all-season and winter tires. In our latest blog, we outline the major differences between the two and which ones would be best for you.
If you notice your vehicles’ tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) going off more during the winter, it’s probably because air contracts when it’s cold. This causes the pressure within your car’s tires to drop between one to two PSI for every 10 degree drop in the temperature. These kinds of things are important to measure because as it gets colder, you could potentially see your TPMS light illuminate more and more as the seasons go on.

The transition from summer to fall and eventually into winter is an exciting one in the Chicagoland area. However, with that transition comes different maintenance tasks to complete for your vehicle to be sure it’s running in tiptop shape during the colder months. In our first blog of the month, we at Patrick Cars have outlined three important things to check before it’s time to bundle up.
