The work you would do
At this shop, a technician from Mettawa would spend much of the week on work such as wheel alignment, transfer case service, light-duty diesel service, and steering and suspension. Commercial customers near Mettawa send Ram ProMaster, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Ford Transit vans, delivery vans, and box trucks, so fleet work is part of the job too. Alignments run on a Hunter Hawkeye Elite system with an 18,000 lb rack. See auto repair for Mettawa drivers for the services those customers use.
Illinois requires emissions testing for many vehicles in the Chicago region, including Lake County, so a check engine light matters at renewal time. That makes emissions diagnosis a regular job here, from reading codes to fixing the cause before a retest.
