Before arriving in our pre-owned inventory, all cars and trucks need to pass a highly detailed, multi-point car inspection checklist of all minor and major systems. The checklist includes many particular and highly detailed criteria that often vary from one store to another. This makes certain that each pre-owned car is in working condition. Most elements fall into three primary types: mechanical, electronic, and service. Review what goes into a pre-owned car inspection checklist.
From the brakes to 7-speed DSG transmissions, modern mechanical car parts dominate every function of modern cars and it is imperative that they are operating properly to stay safe and avoid accidents. A comprehensive mechanical inspection can inspect these components and others like engine parts, transmissions, 2WD or 4WD systems, the car battery, the exhaust, and cooling systems (the radiator and hoses). If the vehicle is either an electric vehicle or a hybrid, the drive battery can only be inspected and serviced by a professional.
More than ever, modern vehicles have electronics such as computers, digital gauge clusters, touchscreen radios, NAV systems, and cameras. So it is crucial that they pass the same meticulous tests as the mechanical components. A comprehensive inspection of the electronics includes all lighting, as well as digital displays and driving lights. Most important, however, are diagnostics of any onboard computer and any other electronically controlled systems, such as the ignition, engine performance settings, braking systems, safety technology, and cell phone integration.
A detailed inspection can uncover any known problems, but it might not identify some issues that occurred before. To fully appreciate the life of your car we partner with CarFax and AutoCheck. These services find the history of a vehicle and will typically bring to light info like oil changes, title problems, previous accidents, warranty service, and mileage inconsistencies. Knowing the full history of the vehicle you’re about to purchase lets you make the best decision you can.
