  • Tires: We inspect both the alignment of your tires and the condition of the tires themselves, examining tread depth and looking for any cracks in the rubber, leaks, punctures, and wear on the sidewalls.
  • Frame: As the foundation your car sits on, the frame is highly important. We'll examine it for any rust, fractures, damage sustained in a crash, or bending.
  • Suspension: Inspecting your suspension for any loss of tension or general wear and tear means you'll continue riding smoothly on the road.
  • Glass: Our inspection will determine if your glass has any chips, cracks, or unseen fissures or fractures, keeping you safe.
  • Lights: Every bulb in the vehicle, inside and out will be inspected and tested to make sure they're free of damage and still lighting properly. Brake lights and headlights are critical safety components for your vehicle, and we'll do the job right.
  • Brakes: With worn or faulty brakes, your car becomes a liability. Our brake inspection will determine the conditions of your brake lines, pads, and rotors to see how much life they have left in them.
  • Radiator: We'll make sure your radiator is still functioning properly, and is free of leaks or pressure losses that prevent it from pumping coolant through your engine.
  • Hoses: All hoses and their connections will be checked to make sure the rubber is free of cracks, punctures, or fissures, and that they have tight, complete seals with no loss of pressure.
  • Belts: Belts are subject to wear and tear every second the engine is in operation. We'll examine them for signs of degradation, cracking, or other damage.
  • Fluids: Your vehicle can't run without the proper fluids. We'll check the condition of the brake, transmission, steering and oil, as well as the levels in the reservoirs, to determine if you need replacement or a top-up, as well as checking for any leaks or other fluid loss.
