A pre-trip inspection gives us the opportunity to inspect your vehicle, from the tires to the roof, to make sure you can count on it during your next road trip. You do not want to end up stranded on the side of the road when you are traveling for the holidays or for vacation. As such, give us a call today to schedule an appointment for a pre-trip inspection. Our inspection includes the following.
Battery Test
One of the things that we will do is test the battery to ensure it always holds a charge. If the battery is not holding a charge, it will die, and you’ll be stranded. We will also check the alternator to make sure it is generating enough electricity for the battery and the rest of your vehicle’s accessories. If you need a new battery, we can install one before your trip.
Brake Check
The brake system is something you rely on whenever you drive your automobile. Without thinking, you press down on the brake pedal when you need to slow down and stop. This is an automatic reaction. We will check your brake system to ensure you can rely on the brakes when needed. If any part is worn down, such as the brake pads, we will replace it.
Fluid Check
Another important inspection before your road trip is a fluid check. We will check all the fluids in your automobile to ensure none are low or dirty. If anything needs to be changed, we will change it. You should also consider an oil change before your road trip, even if one isn’t due. If you are going to be putting a ton of miles on the vehicle, you’ll want fresh motor oil in the engine.
Tire Inspection
You also need a tire inspection performed. We will inspect the tires for damage, nails, and uneven wear. We will do so if any of the tires need to be replaced. We will also check the air in each tire to make sure they are inflated to the recommended PSI. In addition to checking the tires on the vehicle, we will take a look at the spare to make sure it is inflated and ready to go.
