Additional Information About the Service
A Pre-Trip Check is a comprehensive procedure that helps ensure your vehicle is ready for a long journey. We thoroughly inspect the main systems so you can avoid troubles on the road and feel confident behind the wheel. Our goal is to identify and resolve minor issues before they escalate into serious breakdowns.
Diagnostics and Preparation
In the first stage, we check the tire pressure, including the spare, as proper pressure is crucial for safety and fuel efficiency. Next, we measure the engine oil level and all coolant fluids to ensure the engine and cooling systems are operating smoothly. Special attention is given to the braking system - our specialists inspect the brake pads and discs to determine if they can be restored, for example, by resurfacing or cleaning the guides, or if they need to be completely replaced for your safety.
Inspection of Suspension and Lighting
We carefully check the condition of the shock absorbers and suspension to ensure your ride doesn't turn into a test on uneven roads. If the shock absorbers are worn, we will discuss repair or replacement options. Headlights and lighting devices are also inspected - from the correct angle of light to the functionality of bulbs. This is important not only for comfort but also for your safety, especially when traveling at night.
Final Checks and Recommendations
Finally, we check for the presence of all necessary accessories - first aid kit, fire extinguisher, warning triangle, and vest. These are essential items, especially if you plan to travel abroad. Our specialists will provide advice on preparing your vehicle based on your route and load. Typically, the entire procedure takes no more than an hour, but this time can help you avoid major issues and make your trip enjoyable and stress-free.
