INSPECTIONS

Recommend General Maintenance Schedule 

Monthly Inspections:
  • Inspect all fluid levels (engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, etc.)
  • Inflate tires to proper air pressure, inspect for wear (don’t forget to check the spare tire air pressure)
  • Clean windows and inspect wiper blades
  • Inspect all lights for proper operation
 Yearly Inspection:
  • A complete and comprehensive vehicle inspection to insure vehicle performance
  • An air conditioning system service to protect the system and insure proper operation. It is common for the A/C system to lose small amounts of freon every year. When this happens the system will also lose oil which lubricates internal parts, also will allow moisture to build up inside the system and cause an acid to form which will corrode and damage internal parts.
  • A complete vehicle brake system inspection
  • A battery, starting and charging system test and inspection
  • Replace fuel filter if needed
  • Vehicle interior and exterior detail service
