Cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans are complex pieces of engineering and each component needs to be in top condition to keep your vehicle running smoothly. That’s why it’s important to have your Ford regularly serviced by your local Ford dealership. Our certified technicians carry out comprehensive Ford inspections, examining every part of your vehicle and ensuring they all work together in harmony.

Your Ford is made up of a multitude of parts that work together to create the perfect ride. If even just one part develops a fault, it causes a blip in your car’s mechanics, affecting the overall performance of your vehicle. Even to the trained eye, which component is faulty is not always obvious.

A multi-point inspection is a methodical way for certified Ford technicians to assess your vehicle’s overall condition and performance. By inspecting and examining every key component, our technicians can quickly diagnose and fix any issues to get you back on the road. 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. Contact Bob Maxley Ford (Detroit) in Detroit, MI today and arrange for our team to carry out a full Ford multi-point inspection on your vehicle so it remains in optimum condition.
