Toyota Multi-Point Inspection

Early Prevention To Avoid Vehicle Repairs

Many car maintenance and repair shops offer a thirteen, seventeen, twenty-one, or any other number of inspection points they conduct. Any of those are good to prevent problems by detecting them early enough to be a relatively simple fix. Calling it a multi-point vehicle inspection instead of designating a number simply acknowledges how different makes and models of vehicles have different inspection routine specifics as recommended by the manufacturer. Generally speaking, the inspection is to check fluid levels, or at least that's what it might appear like to the layman. In fact, the professional technician is also checking the quality of the fluids, conducting a visual inspection of the engine and surrounding systems, listening for any noises which seem off, and checking for any atypical smells.

Why Inspections Are Critical for Performance

Inspections are a way to assure the car is running at peak efficiency. Vehicles run at high speeds and high temperatures, and although the car is designed for such use, they do get damaged over time when used as intended. Part of the design focuses stress on parts that are relatively simple for the professional technician to repair or replace. The key to such a concept is to catch potential problems before they get worse, and that's what inspections do for the driver.

What Can Go Wrong When Inspections Are Skipped

InsInspections are actually necessary for two reasons. First, they give a technician an opportunity to evaluate the condition of the vehicle and assure it is running as intended. When all the systems are working properly as designed, the vehicle will have more power, get better gas mileage, and be as safe as possible to drive. The second reason is to find potential problems and correct them before they get worse. A potential problem is always easier to fix than waiting for a complete failure to occur which might affect the surrounding systems as well, resulting in a more expensive repair than the maintenance costs. Another consideration is that it's always more convenient to schedule maintenance than break down while driving and have to have them performed regardless of whether it's a good time to be without a car.
