Heating and Cooling System Repair in Skokie, IL

Heating and Cooling System Repair in Skokie, IL

One of the many things you’ll need to keep an eye on as the seasons begin to change is the functionality of your vehicle’s heating and cooling system. In order to guarantee that you’ll be able to remain in your preferred climate as you move through Skokie, visit Evanston Subaru to get the maintenance you need. In the meantime, read the information below!
Heating System
If you’re driving down Route 41 in the winter, a properly functioning heater is essential for staying comfortable and safe. The heater in your vehicle works by warming up the coolant, sending it through the heater core, and circulating this warm air into the cabin. This flow of heated air keeps you warm and prevents any fogging or freezing on your windows. To ensure the system is operating safely and effectively, it’s crucial to bring your vehicle in for regular inspections and maintenance. This proactive care will help avoid any issues with the heating process, ensuring you have a secure and comfortable commute, even in the coldest months.
Cooling System
Just as the heating system is essential in winter, a functional cooling system is a must in the summer to protect you and your vehicle from overheating. While you travel to Evanston Golf Club on a hot day, your car’s air conditioning works by compressing refrigerant into a high-pressure liquid. This liquid is then routed to a receiver, which filters out any impurities and moisture. The refrigerant then moves through the expansion valve, where it depressurizes, allowing it to cool before entering the evaporator. Once in the evaporator, it cools the air that will circulate into the cabin. Regular visits to our Service Department will keep this process running smoothly so that you’re protected from the summer heat. In general, it’s a good idea to schedule service every 30,000 miles, though the exact mileage may vary by model. Consult your Owner’s Manual for a more accurate service interval.
Signs of Trouble
Knowing what to look for can help you spot issues with your heating and cooling systems before they become serious problems. If you notice a puddle of colored liquid under your car after parking, it could indicate a refrigerant or coolant leak that needs immediate attention. Another telltale sign is when the heater isn’t warming up the cabin as it should, which may mean a problem with the heater core or coolant. Lastly, if the temperature gauge is reading higher than normal, this is a warning that something could be wrong with the cooling system. Our team is ready to restore your Subaru!

5 Star Service! A couple shout-outs. Jeff helped us get moving on a build sheet and purchase order, and was extremely communicative and friendly! We loved working with him while we waited for our car. Derek helped us finalize the order and all of our information, and did a great job. Ken was fantastic on the day-of walking us through all the information on our new car and having a smile throughout! Really incredible staff, as well as a really incredible car!

Eddie my service guy was exceptional. He originally got a “no” from the warranty company about my coverage, but called them back and talked to a supervisor. He persisted and got my repair covered, as it should be. It said it right there on the contract. He also worked with me on the best price for tires. Eddie was great! My only snafu was in picking up my car (the next morning because there was no courtesy driver available). I paid, then waited 10-15 minutes for my car to be driven up, which it never was. I finally walked around and found it, right outside the garage and tracked down someone to just give me my keys. Clearly, there was a mess up in communicating to someone to get me my car, even though both the cashier and a guy whose attention I was able to get said it should be coming soon.

They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

I bought this 2010 Forrester for my sister 12 years ago. We have taken our car to Evanston Subaru for all our service needs and have always been treated well. I recommend this dealership. It is staffed with good people and competent mechanics. The facility is always clean. This is noticeable. They even wash my car without being asked.. When the service personnel recommend areas needing attention, I trust them for caring for our safety. They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind.

Great. I called first so it would be OK to get my 2018 Subaru Forester towed in because the engine oil light came on, with a message on my dashboard. George told me since I didn't have an appointment it would be worked on the next day. (The towing service was great). They found a quart of oil missing, and some other things to fix. George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind. Then they always fill the tires with air, and give a free carwash before I go. The technicians worked really hard in 104 degree weather. I waited in the waiting area: free coffee, water and a granola bar. Thank you!

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful.

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful. That said, Eric is a cut above — he's just incredible. We recently had to get a good amount of work done on our 2015 Forester which had not been taken in for some time. Eric walked me through several different options for repairs and servicing, all with different price breakdowns, and made sure I understood what each service/repair was and why he recommended it. He also worked with his service manager to get me a great deal by not charging to replace our AC condenser which had stopped working. I had stopped going to this location because we moved and it wasn't as convenient, but after this most recent experience with Eric I will only take my Forester here. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
