Check The Tires

Checking your tires can be done at home, or you can let the trained professional mechanics at The Auto Shop in Chapin SC, take a look for you. We will ensure your tires meet factory safety standards and that they will get you to and from your destination safely. We offer the full range of tire services including, but not limited to, rotations, balancing, replacement & more.

Don’t Forget Fluids

When you come in for a pre-trip inspection, our team of certified mechanics will inspect every part of your vehicle, including your fluids. Yes, we even mean your wiper fluid, but more importantly, we ensure that the primary fluids of your vehicle are topped off and in good condition. If your engine oil is no longer that bright amber color that it should be, we will recommend an oil change. If you are running low on wiper fluid or engine coolant, we will top them off. Rest assured, no service will be performed without your approval first. We are open and honest with our customers and only recommend the services and repairs that you require.

Test The Lights

Most people planning a road trip will plan to drive through the night to get a full day of excitement, plus less traffic. Low power or dimmed headlights will significantly reduce your visibility at night and could be dangerous.  That is why during our pre-trip inspection here at The Auto Shop in Chapin SC, we will also test your headlights, brake lights, and all other lights to ensure proper functionality. If your headlights need replacing, no problem, we can do that for you.

Get A Brake Inspection

No matter where you plan on going for this trip, there will be other vehicles, and there will be the need to brake. With a proper brake inspection from The Auto Shop in Chapin SC, we will make sure your brakes can bring you and your passengers to a safe and effective stop. No vehicle will leave our shop if we believe it would be unsafe for the driver. 

 

Give us a call today to schedule your next pre-trip inspection. We are here to make sure you enjoy your trip and won’t need to worry about your car.
