April is National Car Care Month! We are excited because this is a subject near and dear to us! Keeping New Orleans drivers safe, is our #1 concern! We believe regular Digital Vehicle Inspections by a technician play a pivotal role in making our vehicles safer to use.
We always look at the:
Brake System Integrity
A vehicle’s braking system is perhaps its most critical safety feature. Regular inspections can identify worn-out brake pads, leaking brake fluid, or other issues that may compromise braking efficiency before they become a safety risk.
Tire Condition & Tread Depth
Tires are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road. Regular inspections help ensure that your tires have sufficient tread and are free from cuts, bulges, dry rot, or uneven wear. Well-maintained tires provide optimal traction, reducing the risk of skidding or losing control, especially in adverse weather conditions.
Lighting
Properly functioning lights are crucial, both for you and other drivers on the road. Regular inspections can identify burnt-out bulbs, ensuring that your headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and other lighting components are working. This not only helps you see the road clearly but also helps other drivers see you!
Fluid Levels & Leaks
Maintaining appropriate fluid levels and fluid quality is essential for your vehicle. Regular inspections can catch leaks or contaminated fluid early, preventing issues that could compromise your safety on the road. Regular fluid maintenance is the best way to ensure the longest life possible out of the vehicle they are in.
Steering and Suspension
Your steering and suspension system ensures stability and control while driving. Regular inspections can identify issues with worn-out components, loose linkage, or torn bushings, preventing the risk of steering failures or a loss of control.
Visibility
Clear visibility is essential for safe driving. Regularly inspecting and replacing worn-out wiper blades ensure that you have a clear view of the road.
Addressing potential issues before they become major problems, not only enhances the safety of your vehicle but also contributes to a safer driving environment for everyone. A well-maintained vehicle is a safer vehicle.
