Family First This Independence Day
At CARSS, we spend every day helping our customers get where they need to go safely. But every once in a while, it's important for us to slow down and spend time with the people who mean the most.
That's why CARSS will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, so our team can celebrate Independence Day with their families, friends, and loved ones.
Whether you're gathering around the grill, heading to the lake, watching fireworks, or simply enjoying a quiet evening together, we hope your holiday weekend is filled with laughter, great memories, and safe travels.
If your vehicle needs attention before the holiday weekend, we encourage you to give us a call before Friday. We'd be happy to help get you road-trip ready so you can focus on what matters most—making memories with the people you love.
From all of us at CARSS, thank you for allowing us to serve your family. We wish you a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day weekend!

“You don’t even need to set foot in our shop to get the best car repair service in the Crystal Lake area,” says CARSS owner Chris Branham. “We know you’re pressed for time. So, whether you’re a soccer mom, a busy professional, or really anyone with a hectic schedule, we take the pressure out of car repair with our unique ‘pickup and delivery’ approach.” (See video below.)
According to Chris, CARSS is dedicated to providing high-quality auto repair with a personal
touch and at a reasonable and fair price.

Our new customers become regular customers. So, if I haven’t met you yet, please get in touch with us. I look forward to meeting you and servicing your car in a courteous, professional way that’s tailored to your needs and your schedule.”
