What Is Included on a Used Car or Truck Inspection Checklist?
All cars and trucks, prior to being included in our used vehicle inventory, need to clear a meticulous vehicle inspection checklist of all automotive systems, both minor and major. The inspection includes many exact items and criteria that usually differ from one store to the next. This is to make sure each used car is in acceptable condition. Many components may typically be put into 3 primary types: mechanical, electronic, and service. Learn what is required to conduct a pre-owned vehicle inspection.
Mechanical Checks
From DSG transmissions to the brakes, updated mechanical components control every area of modern vehicles and it is vital that they're functioning properly to avoid accidents and costly repairs. A complete inspection will likely review these parts and many others like engine parts, CVT transmissions, 2WD or 4WD systems, the car battery, the exhaust system, and cooling systems (hoses and the radiator). If the vehicle is either an electric vehicle or a hybrid, the drive battery may only be inspected and serviced by a professional.
Electronic Inspection
More than ever before, the core of modern cars boast complex electrical systems such as emissions computers, digital gauge clusters, touchscreen stereos, NAV systems, and cameras. So it's crucial that they pass the same uncompromising tests as the other components. A meticulous electrical inspection includes all external, internal, and emergency lighting, as well as digital displays and driving lights. Most necessary, however, are the proper functions of any onboard computer systems and any additional systems controlled by electronics, like the ignition, engine settings, braking systems, safety technology, and mobile phone integration.
Report of Vehicle Service
A detailed vehicle inspection can uncover any current problems, but it might not identify problems that occurred previously. To fully appreciate the life of your car we partner with AutoCheck and CarFax. These services display the full history of a car and typically provide info like title problems, previous accidents, warranty service, mileage inconsistencies, and even oil changes. Recognizing the entire history of the vehicle you're ready to purchase allows you to make the best possible decision.
