Most of us are familiar with the concept of having a convenience store located somewhere close to either our home or our place of work within the City itself or anywhere within the Chicago Metropolitan Area (Chicagoland). Such places are extremely useful to us since they mean that we do not need to rush around visiting numerous shops in order to purchase many of the items needed in our normal activities. These days, some of these convenience stores are even selling motoring items like wax polish, radiator coolant, lubricating oil, etc. However, you need to go to the larger, out of town, hypermarkets before things like tires for motor vehicles are to be found alongside soaps and foodstuffs. Another feature of such “one stop shops” is that they usually sell basic refreshments and a place to sit and eat or drink them; these days, WiFi is usually a part of this deal.
Do Convenience Stores Especially For Motorists Exist?
Not so long ago, if you needed fuel, you went to a filling station (or even somewhere with nothing more than a couple of pumps); for tires, you went to a tire dealer; an automobile electrician for lights; an automobile mechanic for general repairs and a body shop after receiving dents and dings; etc, etc. Following the successes of the corner convenience store (and the hypermarkets); entrepreneurial people in the motor trade began to combine many (if not all) of these separate specialist aspects for maintaining motor vehicles into one business at a single location. These days, such automobile centers also include refreshments and Wi Fi in their waiting lounges – many even arrange shuttle services for those who have to leave their vehicle at the center for a longer period of time. Often, they will also collect your vehicle and take or tow it to their center. This is not to say that they take a tire fitter or pump attendant and expect that person to be able to repair a car’s transmission; they will have installed all the specialized equipment required and hired qualified automobile mechanics and electricians to undertake the work on clients’ vehicles.
The larger filling stations and tire dealers are, perhaps, amongst the forerunners of such all embracing motor services in the Chicagoland area. With 30+ year’s experience, VIP Tire & Auto Centers are amongst the leaders in Auto Repair For Mokena motorists.
