Frequently Asked Questions

Are convertibles practical for Chicago's climate?

Yes, convertibles can be practical in Chicago when properly maintained. While the city experiences cold winters, most convertibles have insulated tops and heating systems designed for all-season use. It’s important to protect your convertible’s soft or hard top during winter months by parking indoors or using a weather-resistant cover. Regular inspection of seals and mechanisms prevents leaks and damage caused by snow or ice.

What should I look for when buying a used convertible near Chicago?

Inspect the condition of the convertible top for tears, leaks, or mechanical issues. Verify the operation of windows and locking mechanisms to ensure security. Check the vehicle’s service history for evidence of regular maintenance, especially for the engine and powertrain. Since Chicago roads can be rough during winter, look for signs of rust or frame damage. A thorough pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic is highly recommended.

Do you offer warranty coverage on used convertibles?

At Barrington Auto Specialists, eligible non-electric and non-diesel vehicles, including many of our convertibles, come with a 6-month / 6,000-mile powertrain warranty. This warranty provides peace of mind for essential engine and transmission components. We advise reviewing the exact warranty details upon purchase, as terms and repair limits apply.

Can I service my convertible near Chicago after purchase?

While our service shop is currently dedicated to maintaining our own inventory, we are planning to open our full service department to the public soon. Until then, Chicago-area customers can schedule maintenance and repairs with trusted local mechanics experienced with convertibles. We recommend routine checks on the convertible top, seals, and fluid systems to keep your vehicle in optimal condition year-round.
