Multipoint Inspection near Me

What Is a Multipoint Inspection?

Multipoint inspections check many facets of your vehicle, such as:

• Under the hood: Engine oil, brake fluid, engine coolant, power steering fluid, hoses, battery, drive belts, air filters, and washing fluid
• Safety systems: Seat belts, airbags, brakes, and horn
• Interior and exterior: Lights, windshield wipers, air conditioning, cabin air filter, and floor mats
• Drivetrain: Engine performance, transmission, differential, driveshaft, exhaust, brake lines, and fuel lines
• Suspension: Tires, alignment, ball joints and bushings, shocks, struts, and springs

As the name suggests, these inspections are comprehensive and will take a few hours. If you plan to have one completed at our service center, we recommend dropping your vehicle off and coming back to get it later in the day.

How Are They Performed?

When checking all systems, our technicians use a color-coded evaluation scale to mark the condition of the different vehicle mechanisms and parts:

• Green: Good condition, no action required at this time
• Yellow: Will need attention soon
• Red: Needs attention now

Once our technicians perform the multipoint inspection, they will give you a rundown of your vehicle’s systems and discuss recommended or needed repairs. Then, with your go-ahead, they will schedule a service appointment for you.

The Importance of Multipoint Inspections

Multipoint inspections are a key part of preventative maintenance. Having your vehicle’s systems checked thoroughly from time to time will help you avoid expensive repairs in the future. Also, they will address potential issues that can turn into more complex problems down the line.

Since these inspections are evaluated using a scale, this can help you keep track of the condition of certain parts or mechanisms. For example, if the latest inspection tells you that the windshield wipers will need to be replaced soon, this will give you a time frame to replace them within a few months or so.

Overall, multipoint inspections are a great way to stay on top of your vehicle's maintenance. Plus, they can give you that added peace of mind that your vehicle is performing at its optimal level.
