Under-Car
Inspection
An under-car inspection is a critical maintenance check performed beneath the vehicle to assess the condition of components that are not visible from above. This inspection ensures that your car’s suspension, drivetrain, brakes, exhaust, and other underbody systems are functioning properly and safely. Regular under-car inspections help prevent breakdowns, reduce repair costs, and maintain vehicle stability and handling.
Driving without regular under-car inspections can lead to sudden suspension failures, brake problems, exhaust leaks, or drivetrain damage, which may compromise safety and performance.
Key Components
Suspension
Shocks, Struts, Springs, and Control Arms are checked for leaks, wear, broken mounts and bushings to ensure smooth ride, proper handling, and to prevent uneven tire wear.
Steering Components
Tie Rods, Ball Joints, and Steering Rack are inspected for play, wear, and leaks to maintain safe steering control and prevent dangerous loss of vehicle control
Brakes
Lines, Hoses, Calipers, Rotors, Pads, and Drums are checked for leaks, wear, corrosion, and proper operation to ensure stopping power and overall safety.
Driveline
Axles, CV Joints, U-Joints, Driveshaft, and Differentials are checked for leaks, vibration, wear, and noise to prevent drivetrain failure, vibration, and loss of power to wheels.
Exhaust System
Muffler, Pipes, Catalytic Converter, and Hangers are inspected for rust, cracks, loose hangers, and leaks to reduce noise, emissions, and risk of toxic gas entering the cabin.
Tires
Tread depth, uneven wear, and damage are checked to ensure traction, safe handling, and prevent blowouts.
Wheel Bearings
Play, noise, and lubrication are checked to prevent wheel seizure or wobble.
Transmission Fluid
The level and color are checked for signs of contamination to protect transmission from wear and overheating.
Fuel Lines
Inspection for leaks, damage, and loose connections prevents fuel leaks and fire hazards.
Chassis / Frame
Ensuring a lack of rust, cracks, and structural damage ensures overall vehicle integrity and safety.
Underbody Shields / Covers
Ensuring there are no loose or damaged shields protects the engine, drivetrain, and components from debris.
Fluid Leaks
Oil, Transmission, Differential, Coolant, and Brake fluids are inspected for leaks and seepage to prevent engine or component damage and maintain proper operation.
