Why Having Your Car Inspected & Serviced Is Important:

A vehicle inspection is a very important part of regular maintenance and a great way of staying ahead of any potential issues. Your vehicle is a very complicated piece of equipment, and it needs to be inspected and maintained to ensure everything is in order and that there are no major performance or safety problems.

At Fred’s Auto Repair we’re always here to help with all your vehicle needs, and we can gladly schedule you for a car inspection and detailed tune-up. Here is what you can expect from an inspection and why they are so important.

What A Car Inspection & Service Entails

A normal car inspection will thoroughly look over and inspect different parts of your car’s motor, operations, and structure. The inspection process is consistent, regardless of your car’s previous inspection or maintenance history.

Routine inspection includes:

• Inspection of brakes
• Battery (if there are any issues)
• Checking all filters (cabin and engine)
• Fluid checks including oil, brake fluid, coolant, and more
• Inspection of hoses and belts
• Tire Pressure
• Emissions testing

At Fred’s Auto Repair, we will take your car for a brief test drive before returning it to you. The purpose of a vehicle inspection is to diagnose any issues, not fix them. With that being said, we can gladly provide you with your New York State inspection and any necessary service you may need after that.  Cracked windshields or misaligned body panels that hamper driving will likely prompt a referral to a trusted nearby body shop.

Why Are Vehicle Inspections Important?

New York state requires that all vehicles be inspected annually. While it may be tempting to try to save money and skip an inspection, it is not worth it. The biggest reason is that putting off potential repairs or maintenance can cost you much more in the long run and damage your vehicle. You may do permanent damage to your car if there is a major issue you choose to ignore.

Such things like gas efficiency and your car’s overall performance can also suffer. You might end up pouring more money into gas since your car isn’t running as efficiently as it could be. Perhaps the biggest reason not to skip an inspection is to avoid breakdowns or potential accidents. Additionally, an expired inspection sticker could prevent your vehicle registration or could ultimately result in a revoked license.
