CODE CHECK
This check will alert you to any codes present at the time of the inspection. When the service engine light is illuminated it is often times emissions related and will cause you to fail any state required testing.
ENGINE PERFORMANCE TEST
We put over 30 years of experience to work looking and listening for misfires, backfiring, engine idle, rpm fluctuations that may be symptomatic of a larger issue you need to be aware of.
COOLING SYSTEM INTEGRITY
The first thing we do upon arrival is start the vehicle. We then proceed to checking the other things while the vehicle gets to operating temperature. After we have test driven the vehicle and the system is pressurized we check for visual leaks, monitor temperature and thermostat operation.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
From the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters to the muffler we will perform a visual and audible inspection of the system for leaks. Strange smells and engine stumbling are a few signs that the exhaust system is in need of repair. .
TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN
Automatic or manual we will make sure that shifting is smooth and responsive. Checking for slack in U-joints on the drive shaft, transmission shifting, CV axle failure, wheel bearing fatigue and leaks.
WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEMS
Ever driven in the rain without wipers? What a blinding experience! We will make sure your wiper controls, fluid disbursement and linkage are ready for the elements.
TIRES AND WHEELS
You can tell a lot about a suspension by the wear on the tires. We will check the tires for uniform size, tread depth, inflation and wear patterns. We also inspect condition of the wheels.
ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS
Heated seats, cooled seats, entertainment systems, navigation systems, auxiliary power sources, remote controls, keyless entry, sunroof, back up camera, A.D.A.S. (advanced driver assist systems). We test all accessories and options the vehicle comes with and document results on your report.
BODY AND FRAME INSPECTION
This inspection will check for visual damage to the frame. We will check for body filler, unusual discoloration or ripples in the paint and panel lines. We have several techniques we use to identify different types of damage. We provide a visual frame inspection only .
LIGHTING AND HORNS
We inspect the headlights, tail lights, fog lights, running lights, cargo lights, stop lights, turn signals and interior dashboard indicators as well as horn function. All of these things are important considering most states require annual inspections.
WINDOWS AND DOORS
We will inspect the glass for cracks and the tint for scratches and air pockets. We’ll ensure windows roll up and down and doors lock properly. We will also make sure automated rolling doors and child safety locks are in good order.
CRUISE CONTROL
On our highway test drive we will check the acceleration and deceleration control as well as the brake pedal initiated controls and the resume feature. Cruise control is a great feature for long trips so long as it works.
INTERIOR UPHOLSTRY
We will look for discoloration, tears, loose fabric, smoking stains and burn holes. paying attention to the condition of the headliner, dash, panel pieces, etc.
EXTERIOR PANEL INSPECTION
We check for discoloration from panel to panel, dents, holes, rust, chips and missing pieces including trim, wheel flairs, grill and exterior lenses for oxidation, etc.
BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL
We look for leaks at the calipers, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, etc. We check the e-brake and insure you do not have excessive pedal travel or pulsation all of which could be signs of a larger issue. We will make sure the abs and traction control engages properly and safely.
STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
We will use a digital voltage/ohm meter to test the charging voltage of the alternator, the draw on the battery from the starter and the overall condition of the system. These components rely on each other. The battery powers the alternator in return, the alternator charges the battery so the car will start.
STEERING AND SUSPENSION
We will examine steering components such as tie rods, ball joints, axles for signs of trouble. We will also get a feel for the suspension on the test drive. Broken ball joints and tie rods can cause accidents. We do a visual inspection and document their condition.
HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
A/C and heat can be a deal breaker for a lot of people. We’ll turn it on and test how cold and hot it gets. We will also take a look at the controls and blend doors for correct function. We will also verify air conditioned seats and heated steering wheel function when applicable.
SEATBELTS AND SAFETY FEATURES
This is one of the most scrutinized parts of the inspection. We make sure all seatbelts and safety features that are available function correctly. The safety of you and your family is very important to us.
CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS
Fluids can tell a story all by themselves. Brake fluid low... could need pads. Low coolant could be the sign of a much bigger problem like a head gasket, radiator or water pump.
CITY / HIGHWAY TEST DRIVE
A road test can tell us much more than if the vehicle were sitting still. With a trained ear a test drive will tell us as much about what is wrong the vehicle as much as what is right.
