- Case Study
The 20-Point Inspection Pays Off
One Friday morning, David took his Volvo S70 to Auto Tech for an oil change. While waiting with coffee, a mechanic found the brake fluid low during a 15-point inspection.
They discovered a slow leak in the brake line. David noted he had to press the pedal harder, but the warning light hadn’t lit up, so he wasn't concerned.
Thanks to the inspection, the mechanics replaced the brake line and returned David and his Volvo S70 to the road the same day.
Some Common Myths About Caring For Your Car, Truck or Van
“Only a dealership can perform my scheduled maintenance.”
There’s no need to get your car serviced at an over-priced dealership service center. Any quality repair shop like ours should have the tools to perform the required service to your manufacturer’s specifications to preserve your warranty. If you have any doubts-- just ask us!
“Premium gasoline gives my car premium performance.”
Unless your car’s manual specifically states to use “premium fuel only,” then buying premium fuel is just a waste of money. American drivers wasted more than $2 billion in 2015 using premium fuel in cars designed to run on regular unleaded fuel.
“Use a penny to test when to replace your tires. ”
The “Penny Test” is a trick many of us were taught to test tread depth. But the truth is that by the time you can see Honest Abe’s head, your tire performance has already been compromised. Want to stay safe? Try using a quarter instead!
