The work you would do
Drivers from the Gurnee area bring in a steady mix of wheel alignment, tires, oil changes, and brakes, so expect plenty of that work. Besides cars and SUVs, the shop works on cargo vans, delivery vans, and box trucks for local fleets. Alignments run on a Hunter Hawkeye Elite system with an 18,000 lb rack. See auto repair for Gurnee drivers for the services those customers use.
Vehicles registered in Lake County go through the Illinois emissions test, and an illuminated check engine light can mean a failed test. That makes emissions diagnosis a regular job here, from reading codes to fixing the cause before a retest.
