What Our Bumper-to-Bumper Inspection Includes
Our detailed bumper-to-bumper inspection is designed to maintain your student’s vehicle in excellent condition. Here’s what our inspection covers:
1. Lube, Oil & Filter Service
Routine oil changes are crucial for engine health. We use top-quality oil and filters to keep the engine running efficiently and smoothly.
2. Steering and Suspension Components
We inspect the steering and suspension system to ensure a comfortable and stable ride. This includes checking for worn parts, alignment issues, and overall system integrity.
3. Brake System Check
Your student’s safety is our highest priority. We thoroughly examine the brake system, including pads, rotors, and lines, to ensure optimal braking performance.
4. Fluid Levels and Condition
We check all essential fluids, such as engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Keeping these fluids at the correct levels and in good condition is key to a smoothly running vehicle.
5. Hoses and Belts
Damaged hoses and belts can lead to serious engine problems. We inspect these components for signs of wear and tear, ensuring they are in good condition.
6. Battery and Charging System
A reliable battery and charging system are vital for vehicle operation. We assess the battery’s health, clean terminals, and verify the charging system is functioning properly.
7. Transmission Fluid and Leaks

8. CV Boots
We check the CV boots for any signs of damage or leaks, which could affect the vehicle’s drivetrain.

Proper lighting is essential for safe driving. We inspect all lights, including headlights, brake lights, and turn signals, to ensure they are working correctly.
10. Wiper/Washer System
Clear visibility is critical. We check the wiper blades and washer system to ensure they provide clear vision during adverse weather conditions.
