What that means for your vehicle
Boat and camper owners in Channel Lake ask the most about pulling a trailer. A tow vehicle needs brakes in good shape, a healthy cooling system if it tows often, and working trailer lights. A quick check before the season is easier than a repair at the ramp.
Vehicles registered in Lake County go through the Illinois emissions test, and an illuminated check engine light can mean a failed test. See emissions repair.
