Driving in Waukegan and what it does to your vehicle

Waukegan driving covers everything: downtown streets near the lakefront and the Genesee Theatre, heavy retail traffic on Grand Avenue and Belvidere Road, and commutes to I-94 and the Tri-State. Stop and go traffic on Grand Avenue and Washington Street wears brakes and transmissions, and older pavement on side streets is hard on suspension parts and alignment.

Good to know

• Lewis Avenue runs the full way north from Waukegan to our shop, so it is easy to give someone directions for a pickup.
• If you work in Zion, Kenosha or along the lakefront, drop off on the way in and pick up on the way home.
