☀️ A Quick Update from CARSS ☀️

The safety of our team will always come first.

Due to today's extreme heat and poor air quality, we've made the decision to close at 12:00 PM today to help protect the health and well-being of our employees.

We know this may be an inconvenience, and we truly appreciate your understanding. Our team works hard every day to take care of our customers, and today it's our turn to take care of them.

Thank you for supporting our local, family-owned business and for always showing our team such kindness. ❤️

Please stay hydrated, stay cool, and if you can, limit your time outdoors today. We'll be back and ready to help during our normal business hours on our next business day.

Stay safe, Crystal Lake! 💙🚗

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from all of us at CARSS! 🇺🇸

Today we're celebrating the freedoms we often take for granted, the people who have protected them, and the communities that make this country feel like home.

We hope your day is filled with backyard barbecues, parades, fireworks over Crystal Lake, laughter with family, and safe travels wherever the holiday takes you.

Thank you for trusting our hometown team to help keep your family on the road all year long. We truly appreciate being a small part of this incredible community.

From our CARSS family to yours, have a safe, fun, and memorable Independence Day!

🚗 CARSS Poll Time

What's the oldest vehicle you've ever owned?

We'll go first:

We've seen some vehicles come through our shop that are old enough to have their own stories.

Drop the year, make, and model below.

Bonus points if it's somehow still running. 😄

🚗 Your car has entered its "making weird noises" era.

You know the one...

✔️ The squeak that only happens when you're trying to show someone.
✔️ The rattle that disappears the second you pull into the shop.
✔️ The mysterious sound that somehow gets louder when you turn the radio down.

If your vehicle has started communicating through interpretive dance and strange noises, let CARSS help translate.

Because "I'll just ignore it" isn't actually a repair strategy. 😆

📞 Give us a call before that little noise becomes a big problem.

More emails went out this morning. Please do not click on them-just delete them. We are working hard behind the scenes to get this taken care of as quickly as possible!

Today is about remembering the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Because of them, we get to enjoy the everyday moments — time with family, road trips, and the freedom to live our lives the way we choose.

As you head out today, take a moment to reflect on what this day really stands for.

Need a little extra space? We’ve got you covered!

CARSS currently has 3 storage units available and they won’t last long! These units are approximately one-car garage size and are perfect for:
✔️ Seasonal storage
✔️ Small business equipment
✔️ Motorcycles & recreational items
✔️ Household overflow
✔️ “I swear I’ll organize this someday” boxes 😅

💲 Just $130/month

Convenient, simple, and locally managed right here through CARSS.

📞 Give us a call today to reserve yours before they’re gone:
(815) 356-0084

Storage space disappears fast around here… kind of like 10mm sockets in a mechanic shop. 👀
