Comprehensive Vehicle Inspections: Ensure Safety and Reliability

Comprehensive vehicle inspections are an important part of maintaining your vehicle. Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to catch potential problems before they become costly repairs. A multi-point inspection at  includes all the most critical components of your vehicle to keep you driving as long as possible.

What Is a Multi-Point Inspection?

When you bring your vehicle to  for a multi-point inspection, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation of your vehicle's health. A mechanic will look over every system in your vehicle to make sure all parts are working together as intended and any wear or damage is repaired.

Why Are Comprehensive Inspections Important?

Comprehensive multi-point inspections are a key part of routine automotive maintenance. Making sure you maintain your vehicle — not just when it breaks down — can help keep it running for a long time. 

Proactive maintenance can also keep parts from becoming so damaged that you end up with more expensive repairs. It’s often cheaper and easier to replace one worn part than a whole system.

Parts of a Multi-Point Inspection

During this kind of vehicle health check, our team of trained mechanics will do a thorough assessment of all critical components of your vehicle. They’ll do a systematic examination from tip to trunk to keep your vehicle in top shape.

Engine

Our team will start with an engine inspection to ensure it’s running efficiently and nothing is too worn out. They’ll look at both the engine as a whole system and many of the individual components, such as filters, fluids, and belts and hoses. A performance assessment ensures the engine is running efficiently and looks for ways to improve.

Filters

There are a few kinds of filters in your engine. Some filter fluids such as fuel and oil, while another captures dust and debris coming through the air intake. They all serve to keep your engine clean and free of debris so that it can run more efficiently. 

Filters have to be changed regularly as they fill up, or they can impede the flow of air or fluid. During any inspection, the expert mechanics here at Hi-Tech Auto Specialists will assess your filters and change them if needed.

Fluids

Many of the fluids in a vehicle need to be replaced regularly. Our professionals check engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid during an inspection. If we notice the fluid levels are low or the fluid has become dirty, we will then properly drain and refill the fluids to keep your engine running at peak efficiency.

Underfilled or dirty fluids can wreak havoc on your engine, as they won’t lubricate the components properly.

Belts and Hoses

Your engine includes a variety of belts and hoses that keep fluids flowing and components turning. If your belts are out of alignment or your hoses develop a leak, it can cause more extensive damage. It can even prevent your engine from starting. 

Having your belts and hoses inspected at Hi-Tech Auto Specialists is the best way to make sure they’re correctly aligned and in good condition.

Steering System

Our team of trained professionals will also perform a steering system check to make sure your power steering is functioning correctly. If the power steering fluid needs a refill, they’ll make sure it’s topped up and that there are no leaks.

Wheels

Part of automotive maintenance is a regular safety inspection of your wheel systems. Our team of mechanics here at Hi-Tech Auto Specialists will check over all the critical components, including a brake inspection, a suspension evaluation, and an assessment of your tire condition. If any parts, such as brake pads or tires, are worn enough to need replacing, the mechanic will recommend adding that to your service.

Emissions

You may not realize how much of an impact your vehicle’s exhaust system can have on your engine efficiency. A damaged or inefficient exhaust can rob your engine of power and reduce your gas mileage. When the team here at Hi-Tech Auto Specialists checks out your emission system, they’ll watch for any leaks or blockages and ensure all pipes are clean.

Battery

A typical multi-point inspection will also include a diagnostic report on your battery’s condition. An old or worn-out battery may be at risk of failing. If it’s time, our team may recommend a replacement.
