Car Inspection

When you take your automobile for regular maintenance, repairs, or checkup, the auto technician should complete an extensive vehicle inspection checklist so as to ascertain that your work is performing optimally under the hood. The auto technician should examine the major operating systems of the vehicle during the vehicle inspection procedure.

Below is a checklist for vehicle inspection

Tires- The auto technician should inspect the tires of your vehicle to ensure they are free of tire wear, to check the tire tread depth, and be sure it has the right tire pressure.

Batteries

The auto technician will conduct a charge/discharge load test on your battery to verify that it can deliver its specified power. He can also check the battery’s voltage as well as secure battery tie-downs.

Brakes

The mechanic should inspect the brake fluid and examine if there is any wear on the drum, rotors or brake pads.

Steering and suspension

Your car’s power steering belt, power steering pump and power steering fluid level should be evaluated and checked for fluid leaks.

Safety Lights

The mechanic can inspect the brake lights, hazard lights, turn signals and the headlights to be certain they are working well.

Windshield Wipers

The auto mechanic should check the windshield and the wiper blades to be sure they are functioning well. The last thing you wantduring inclement weather is a malfunctioning windshield wiper.

Engine

The car engine needs to be inspected for any leaks and damage. The car engine requires maintenance as well. Fluid levels- you should have the auto technician check the fluid levels of your vehicle. The fluids whose levels he’ll need to check are the coolant, washer, and oil.

Safety belts

Check to see if the safety belts are functional and if they are free from any wears or cuts. Hoses – the auto technician should check hoses for any leaks and any other issues.

Exhaust System

The auto mechanic should evaluate the state of the catalytic converter, tailpipes, mufflers and the exhaust system. They should be checked for any damage, cracks or leaks.

Examine the airbag if it is possible. Ascertain that the steering wheel does not have any abnormal wear. Abnormal wear on the steering wheel could point to many things you’ll need to be careful about. Ascertain that the defroster, heater, and air conditioning system are working, and the vents are functioning.
