Fluid Replacement & Oil Changes in Chicago, IL
FLUID REPLACEMENT
Keeping up with your vehicle’s system flush needs is an important part of routine maintenance. The fluids in your transmission, power steering, coolant and braking systems are vital to the performance and longevity of your car or truck’s core components.
Here at Fred’s Wrigleyville Garage, we understand the importance of preventative auto care. A small investment now can save you a bundle in the future while ensuring reliable performance from your vehicle every day. Whether you drive in normal or severe conditions (such as stop-and-go traffic or extreme temperatures), we offer a full spectrum of services to keep you on the road and running strong.
SERVICES INCLUDE:
Brake System Flush
-
Brake fluid amplifies braking force while protecting major system components from excessive wear.
-
Moisture, heat, and dust from the outside environment can impact brake performance and lead to costly repairs.
-
Under normal driving conditions, it’s recommended that you flush your brake fluid every 30,000 miles or every two years to ensure optimal performance and prevent leaks or squeals.
Coolant System Flush
-
Coolant is vital in preventing your engine from overheating. It also protects against freeze-ups in cold weather, provides lubrication for your water pump and prevents rust in the system.
-
Severe driving conditions can cause components to degrade over time, leading to corrosion and deposits that clog your engine’s primary means of releasing heat.
-
Most manufacturers advise replacing coolant fluid every 50,000 to 100,000 miles in normal conditions, or every 30,000 to 50,000 miles in severe driving conditions.
Power Steering System Flush
-
Power steering fluid provides lubrication and transfers energy between hydraulic components, making it easier to steer your vehicle.
-
Heat and pressure resulting from everyday driving impacts power steering fluid performance, causing added wear to gears, pumps, and valves. By keeping up with the maintenance of this system you can help prevent costly repairs for failed components.
-
Your power steering fluid should be replaced by time and mileage, prior to it becoming brown or dark brown in color.
Transmission System Flush
-
Transmission fluid is as vital to your transmission as motor oil is to your engine because it provides the physical pressure needed to perform key functions, such as shifting, as well as transmission engagement and disengagement.
-
Overheating and fluid contamination, account for 90 percent of automatic transmission failures.
-
Transmission fluid should be flushed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions.
Performing system flushes in a timely fashion helps keep your vehicle running smoothly and saves you money in the long run. Contact us to set up an appointment.

Ever ask yourself "Where's the best place for an oil change near me?", well, you found it. Without oil, your engine wouldn't have the lubrication it needs to move all of the internal components around safely. When the oil drops too low or hasn't been changed in a while, you could end up with a number of different things going wrong with your vehicle. Because of this, you need to make sure you are taking your vehicle in for regular oil changes. At Fred’s Wrigleyville Garage, the team of technicians will go through and make sure your car will be properly taken care of every step of the way.
Changing the oil can help ensure all of the other components in your vehicle stay working for quite some time. Oil changes should be done at least every 3,000-miles or three months, whichever one you hit first. For those who have synthetic oil in their vehicles, you can wait until the 5,000-mile mark. Our team of professionals has been in business for more than 30-years and has over 100-years of combined experience working on vehicles just like yours. We will take the time to go through everything and make sure all of the oil is changed and your filter is in good condition to get you back on the road quickly.
Beyond making your engine run that much smoother, new oil can also minimize friction, stress and added wear. As long as all of the main internal components are lubricated and the pistons continue working properly, you can help minimize your chances of being hit with an extensive repair bill because your engine blew up on you. Don't take chances with your vehicle. Turn to the help of our team at Fred’s Wrigleyville Garage to get you back on the road. Our team is ready to help you in any way we can. Whether you need a simple oil change or something more, you can trust in us to get it taken care of for you.
