By having an inspection done on the vehicle, you can help to prevent any inconvenient breakdowns or other safety hazards that might occur. Regular maintenance is important because it can help make sure that your vehicle will be ready to drive on the road. It can also help to make sure that the problems are fixed before any road trip.

 

Tires

 

One of the most important things to inspect on the vehicle are the tires. This is because the tires are the only part of the vehicle that will make direct contact to the surface of the road. If the tires are in poor condition it can make for an unpleasant ride. The air pressure in the tires should be inspected. If the tire is under inflated, it can lead to poor fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Over inflated tires will have less contact to the surface of the road. This can result in rides that are bumpy or uncomfortable. The tires should also be inspected for how the tread is wearing. Bring the vehicle in and we can inspect the tires. Without good tread on the tires, they will not be able to grip the road like they should. This could result in poor handling and control of the vehicle.

 

Brakes

 

The brakes should also be inspected for the vehicle. This can help prevent a serious accident from occurring. This will also help to ensure that you have brakes when you will need to stop or slow down. Bring the vehicle in and we can inspect the brake system for you. The brake pads and brake rotors can also be checked to make sure they are in a good working condition.

 

Belts & Hoses

 

The hoses and belts should also be checked. Make sure they are free from any cracks or fraying that might have occurred. If they are worn excessively, it may be time for a replacement. These are important to help the electrical system and power steering to run properly.

 

Fluids

 

Checking the fluids can help keep the vehicle operating at peak performance. The oil should also be inspected. When it is recommended, the oil should be changed. This can help to keep the best quality oil in the vehicle. It can also lubricate the engine efficiently.

 

Gas Cap

 

You might think about it, but the gas cap is important to the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. If the cap is loose or damaged, fuel could evaporate into the air. If the cap is missing, it could cause gas to spill out or evaporate into the air. Always remember that if there is an issue with your vehicle, make sure to schedule an appointment so we can inspect it for you.
