Do I Need An Inspection Before A Road Trip?

March 25, 2022

Blog | One Stop Auto Care

As the weather gets warmer in Los Angeles, most drivers start embarking on vacations and road trips again. And to be sure that your road trip experience meets your expectations, you should consider getting a vehicle inspection. The last thing you want to deal with on your spring break is a vehicle breakdown. Have your car looking good and get peace of mind by taking your car to One Stop Auto Care for a pre-trip inspection. 

During a pre-trip check, our ASE-certified technicians will assess all your vehicle's safety components to ensure there are no problems. Some items that we will check include:

  • Brake system
  • Electrical system, including battery and alternator
  • Tires (pressure, tread, etc.)
  • Various fluids (motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, etc.)
  • Filters
  • ... & more.

If we find any problems, we will inform you about the nature and severity of it. Additionally, we can also provide you with recommendations and estimates on repairs. 

If you decide to get repairs done, we will be sure to execute them promptly so that you can be on schedule with your vacation. However, we recommend having this inspection at least one week prior to hitting the road. 

 

A pre-trip inspection can save you the hassle, money, and time along your journey. You'll be able to do your travels stress-free as you don't have to worry about an unexpected breakdown that can ruin your plans. For a professional and honest pre-trip inspection, we invite you to bring your car to One Stop Auto Care today.
