Used Vehicles Undergo Multi-Point Inspections
The most common form of used vehicle testing is a multi-point inspection. This is a comprehensive checklist that trained technicians follow to examine key systems and components. The number of checkpoints can vary by dealership or vehicle manufacturer, but most inspections cover somewhere between 150 to 200 areas on the vehicle. Items typically assessed include:
- Brakes
- Tires
- Engine
- Transmission
- Battery
- Fluids
- Suspension
- Lights
- And More!
Diagnostic Scans
Modern vehicles come equipped with onboard computer systems that store information related to the vehicle’s performance, including information on the engine, transmission, fuel usage, and safety systems. By using diagnostic scanning tools, technicians can quickly scan a vehicle to learn about any potential problems that may not be picked up from a traditional visual inspection or routine test drive.
What are the Benefits of Raincoat Glass Treatment?
The primary benefit of raincoat glass treatment is improved visibility, reducing water streaking and buildup when it starts to rain or snow. However, notable secondary benefits of this service include easier cleaning of the windshield (as bugs, bird droppings, and grime are easier to remove than on non-treated surfaces) and extended wiper lifespans due to less friction wearing down on the blades.
