Car inspections are an essential part of driving safety. They can provide you with valuable insights into potential problems on your car, and they can help ensure that your car is in good condition when you get it back from the mechanic. Read on to know what should be inspected on your car regularly.
What is a Car Inspection
A car inspection is a check of the vehicle to see if it is in good condition and meets all safety requirements. A vehicle inspection includes checking for these following things…
– brakes, tires, windows, and mirrors
– fluid levels
– engine and transmission oil levels
– body and frame repairs
– mechanical system repair (brakes, suspension, drive shafts)
– emissions testing
Noises to be Aware of
When driving your car, always be aware of any odd noises it might make. Any noises will indicate that the vehicle will need maintenance and proper care. If you apply the brakes and a strange noise happens, make sure to contact us. This could mean that the brake rotors or pads are wearing. As they wear down, it will also increase the time needed to properly stop. This can decrease your safety over time as well.
Be aware of any noises or screeches coming from under the hood. This could mean that there is an issue with the belts, or even the engine. Noises like this are a result of parts wearing against one another and causing friction. When these parts move, it can also cause damage over time if it is not repaired. The belts and hoses should be checked on a regular basis. Over time they can become dry and brittle, and break without warning. This can cause further issues, especially if you are on the road and far from home. No matter any issue you notice, always make sure to bring the vehicle in.
