The Importance of Regular Vehicle Inspections

One of the most valuable parts of preventative maintenance is identifying problems early.

At Norvin's Auto Repair, every maintenance visit includes a complimentary 12-point vehicle inspection. During this inspection, our technicians look for developing issues that may not be causing symptoms yet.

We inspect items such as:

  • Brake condition
  • Suspension components
  • Steering components
  • Tire condition
  • Battery health
  • Fluid levels
  • Belts and hoses
  • Cooling system
  • Visible leaks
  • Exterior lights
  • Windshield wipers
  • Underhood components

If we notice something that needs attention, we'll explain our findings so you can plan for future repairs instead of being surprised by them.

Why Following the Manufacturer's Maintenance Schedule Is Important

Your vehicle's manufacturer designed a maintenance schedule to help maximize reliability and performance. Following these recommendations can help:

Reduce premature wear
Improve fuel economy
Extend engine and transmission life
Reduce the likelihood of major repairs
Improve overall vehicle safety

If you're unsure what maintenance your vehicle is due for, we're happy to review the manufacturer's schedule with you.
