It also allows them to spot anything that could be a potential problem, helping prevent costly repairs in the future. What a Multi-Point Inspection Covers A Ford multi-point inspection can be broken down into four main sections, each looking at a different area of your car. 1. Underhood Inspection Fluid Levels Technicians check the levels and the condition of all essential fluids, including: Engine oil Brake oil Windshield washer fluid Coolant Transmission fluid Engine All engine components, such as the air filter, hoses, fittings, and drive belts, are checked to ensure they're in good working order and that there is no sign of wear and tear. Battery The battery terminals and connections are inspected, and a test is conducted to ensure the battery functions correctly. 2. Under Car Inspection During this part of the process, technicians take a look at everything under the vehicle, such as engine seals, drive axles, the exhaust system, and the transmission to ensure everything is in good condition and working as it should. 3. Tire Inspection Tires are essential to your vehicle and so are carefully examined during every Ford multi-point inspection. Our team looks at tread depth, tire pressure, and the overall condition of the tires. 4. Brake Inspection Properly working brakes are essential for keeping yourself, your passengers, and other road users safe. Our technicians check the brake system, testing and retesting to ensure they're operating perfectly. Regular servicing keeps your vehicle on the road and running smoothly. Using a Ford multi-point inspection, our trained technicians examine each part of your car, SUV, truck, or van, ensuring every component works as it should.
