Modern cars are technological marvels full of complex systems that must operate in harmony for the vehicle to work properly. Unfortunately, this means that a problem with one system can impact others. A multipoint inspection offers drivers an opportunity to catch problems before wallet-busting repairs are needed.

Why Multipoint Inspection is Important

Many drivers understand that vehicles work best when certain services, such as oil changes, are performed regularly. But there are many other systems, also highly important for proper vehicle functioning, which also need regular inspection and maintenance. A proper multipoint inspection ensures that all of these systems are checked and problems are fixed before it is too late.

When You Should Get Multipoint Inspection

Having a multipoint inspection done on a vehicle before sale or purchase helps you get the most value out of the transaction. It is also good to have a multipoint inspection done before a long road trip so you do not get stranded.

The Multipoint Inspection Process

Step 1

The technician inspects the engine, ensuring that all belts and hoses are in proper condition and that there are no fluid leaks.

Step 2

The technician checks for drivetrain or differential problems, such as broken joints.

Step 3

The technician checks whether the tires are in need of replacement and if suspension components such as shocks are working properly.

Step 4

Critical safety features such as seatbelts and brakes are inspected to verify that they work as needed. The technician may also check the lights and the horn to ensure the vehicle can operate safely in adverse conditions.

Step 5

Interior and exterior checks cover components such as the wiper blades and the air conditioning system

Drivers should alert the technician to any unusual activity, such as noises or shaking, that the vehicle has been displaying. This makes the technician aware of areas which may need extra attention.

Signs of a Quality Multipoint Inspection

Before having their engine repaired, drivers should check if the service is covered under a warranty or vehicle insurance plan. Drivers should also understand the full range of repair and replacement tasks the service will require, as other systems may also be impacted by an engine failure.

Signs of a Quality Engine Repair

A quality multipoint inspection goes far beyond a visual status check and requires the technician to take their time examining all parts of the car.

Caring for Your Vehicle After Multipoint Inspection

If your vehicle shows any changes in performance, or gives off new sounds or vibrations when driving, take it in for service. These are common signs that repair is needed.
