AIR BAGS | TRACTION CONTROL

Distracted drivers, hazardous weather and wild animals can challenge even the most conscientious drivers. While today's vehicles are armed with myriad safety features, they only come to your aid when functioning properly. If you neglect their warning lights, they may neglect you.

We provide intense diagnostics and quality repairs to your car's many safety components, including:

Front, curtain/head and side airbags
Antilock brakes (ABS)
Anti-skid control
Traction control

Don't ignore an ABS or airbag light: That glow might mean your safety systems won't engage during a crisis. Instead, let Hong Kong Auto Service help keep you safe and secure when you're on the road.

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

Chicagoans know all too well the extremes of heat and cold an average year brings. We rely on our vehicles' air-conditioning (A/C) and heating systems to deliver a comfortable cabin climate day after day, week after week.

Common climate-control problems include:

A/C not blowing cold air
A/C emitting a strange odor
No air blowing hot or cold
Fogged-up windows won't clear
Non-functioning top/side vents or defroster
Stalling or rough idling when the A/C is turned on

We'll cool down your summers and warm up your winters by checking your system thoroughly. When necessary, we'll use a dye-injection leak test to locate any hard-to-find A/C system leaks.

Hong Kong Auto Service—Wilmette's premier auto repair facility— is ready to ensure you have a comfortable ride whether it's January or July.

ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS

Radio silenced? Power windows underperforming? Wimpy windshield wipers?

Your vehicle's alternator might be to blame. The alternator is a vital element of a vehicle's electrical system. It controls comfort-related parts, like your A/C, and it can impact a number of other systems, including your:

Airbag or Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Dashboard warning/indicator lights
Battery
Headlights, taillights, interior lights, dashboard lights
Power steering
Traction-control system
Turn signals

Loose or worn alternator belts drain batteries, putting you at risk for inconvenient or unsafe roadside stalls. If you're frequently jump starting your battery or experiencing issues with the systems listed above, call on Hong Kong Auto Service to put those electrical gremlins to rest.
