We also check the paint job, inspect windshields for chips or cracks, tires for wear, and make sure all exterior lights function properly.
- Vehicle Interior: Components on the inside of the vehicle are thoroughly inspected by our team to identify potential issues. Our efficient service involves examining the following: upholstery for stains or rips; A/C and heater function; infotainment systems including electrical equipment like radio/CD player/speakers; power features like sunroof, windows, and seat controls; odor check in case the car has had water damage.
