What goes into a comprehensive auto inspection?

Everyone has car troubles, but sometimes we can’t figure out what the issue is on our own. That’s why the pros at Auto Excel are here and prepared to give you a comprehensive auto inspection! Just keep reading to find out what all goes into a comprehensive auto inspection.

Comprehensive auto inspections go through a variety of your vehicle’s working systems with a fine-toothed comb to check for any needed repairs or maintenance that may be causing issues with your car’s drivability or performance.

Our auto mechanics will check for any odd or too-loud noises from your exhaust system, as well as any leaks while your vehicle is running. These could be signs of additional problems with the exhaust system. The exhaust system as a whole will be checked, with the tailpipe and muffler also receiving a thorough once-over, along with the exhaust pipe and related sensors.

Any suspension-related problems will be checked, including loose steering parts, and damaged shocks or struts, as well as worn mounts or bushings. We will also inspect your car for swaying or bouncing while driving. Your tires will be fully taken care of, including full visual inspection, tread, tire wear, and checking the tire pressure. Uneven tread and tread depth are points of focus, as well as signs of misalignment. We’ll look over your brakes, with any oddities like brake grinding and squeaking noted. We’ll give your brake fluids and hoses a look and ensure there are no leaks or low fluid levels and ensure your brake pads, rotors, and drums are in tip-top shape.

During our comprehensive auto inspection at Auto Excel, we’ll also take care of all those little bits of maintenance that pass you by each day. These will include checking the battery, fluids, fuel filter and system, your power steering, and timing belts, as well as your lights, windshield wipers, and other smaller (but still necessary) maintenance. We’ll give you our full report and let you know what issues come up that need to be taken care of now, or waited on until the future.
