Here at Skip’s Garage, we want to help you keep your car running at its best. When you bring your vehicle in for any service, we’ll also perform a complimentary multi point inspection. Consider this like a check up of your car’s most important parts that help you get from Point A to Point B safely and comfortably. While oil changes, tire rotations, and other routine maintenance are important parts of vehicle upkeep, there are other factors and places on your vehicle that should be routinely checked for signs of wear and damage. A multi point inspection will give you an overall picture of your vehicle’s health and allow you to address potential issues before they become larger and more costly.

What Do We Do?

During the multi point inspection, our technicians will look at a variety of aspects of your vehicle and rank them on a scale. Inspection items ranked at the top tier indicate everything looks good in this area, and no attention is needed at this time. Items ranked mid-tier will need attention soon, but not necessarily immediately, and items ranked in the lowest tier require immediate attention in order to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely. During the inspection, we’ll take a closer look at things such as battery health, belts and hoses, steering and exhaust components, shocks and struts, brake fluid, as well as windshield washer fluid, engine cooling fluid, and seat belts and restraints. 

Why Is a Multi-Point Inspection Important?

You can consider a multi-point inspection like a full physical and check up of your vehicle. Just like you’d go to the doctor for a check up to make sure everything is in working order, we’re going to do the same for your vehicle. We’re looking for signs of wear and tear that are abnormal or may be indicating it’s time for a replacement part. Additionally, many states now require all vehicles to pass an emissions test, and by performing a multi point inspection we can help identify and address any problems that may arise prior to your vehicle going in for its annual inspection and emission test. Ideally, there are no issues discovered during the multi point inspection, and you can drive away with peace of mind knowing all things are in good condition. Performing routine multi point inspections will keep you up to date on your vehicle’s health and prevent the dreaded sudden major repairs and costs associated. Peace of mind regarding your vehicle’s reliability and overall health is priceless, and bringing your car in for routine check ups will help maintain peace of mind.

As you can see, multi point inspections prove invaluable when it comes to overall vehicle maintenance, Unless you are a mechanic, this is the best way to find more out about your vehicle’s health without having to wait until a problem rises. Whether your car is new or old, a multi point inspection will give you a heads up and time to prepare for issues that may eventually need to be addressed.
