Case Study: The 20-Point Inspection Pays Off

One Friday morning, David brought his Volvo S70 to Auto Tech Auto Repair for an oil change. Pretty basic stuff. He grabbed a coffee and waited in the Auto Tech Auto Repair lobby.

After changing the oil and filters, the mechanic did a standard 15-point inspection and saw that the brake fluid was a little low. So they looked into it a bit more closely.

The auto repair technician found a slow fluid leak in the brake line. When asked, David said that he had noticed pushing the brake pedal a little harder recently. But the warning light didn’t came on, so he didn’t worry too much about it.

If the Auto Tech Auto Repair mechanics hadn’t been thorough, the leak could easily have resulted in an accident. Instead, the they were able to replace the brake line and get David and his Volvo S70 safely back on 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!
