Tips From The Service Lane - Multi-Point Inspection
December 1st, 2009 in News
A multi point inspection done at the time of an oil change only confirms that a car is safe on the day of the inspection. Deal with problems as soon as they arise.
Test your lights against a wall or garage regularly to confirm they’re in full working order.
At least once a month, check the pressure of all your tires (spare included) according to the handbook or label inside the drivers door.
Keep the various liquids you car needs (windsheild wash, oil, water, coolant, power steering, clutch and brake fluid levels) topped up.
Check oil levels while parked on level ground.
If your windsheild wipers are smearing, replace them, otherwise you’ll find it difficult driving in the rain.
Your screen wash should spray onto your windscreen, not over the top of the car. Use a pin to adjust the direction of spray.
Make sure you carry out all the recommended steps for preparing your car for winter (refer to your manual for guidance or see dealer).
