Pre-Inspection Check
Buddy’s Automotive recommends checking a few things on your vehicle before your next inspection to ensure the process goes smoothly and quickly. If one of these items needs repair, it’s best to handle it beforehand and pass inspection the first time. If you don’t replace worn components before inspection, our technicians will catch it and fail your vehicle. Then you have to deal with repairs and the hassle of retesting!
Windshield Wipers
How old are your car’s windshield wipers? If they are worn out and don’t adequately clear the windshield of rain or debris, opt to swap them out before inspection.
Seat Belts
Do all of the seat belts in your vehicle work correctly? If one is broken, replace it before the inspection to avoid immediate failure.
Tires
Are your tires wearing thin? Balding tires aren’t safe to drive on, as your vehicle won’t achieve optimal control. Consider replacing extremely worn tires before your inspection.
