CAR INSPECTIONS AIRPORT WEST (3042)

Car Inspection Service Procedure

At S.S.C. Mechanics, we follow a step-by-step procedure when we perform car inspection services in our Airport West repair shop. We’ll start by performing safety inspections on the interior and exterior of your automobile. We then conduct a mechanical inspection, an undercarriage inspection and an electric scan.

Before releasing your vehicle, we’ll perform a road test to make sure your car is safe to drive. After verifying your vehicle’s documents, we’ll write up a service report detailing the findings of our inspection.

Keep reading for a breakdown of our car inspection service procedure:

• Exterior inspection: We go over the exterior of your car, checking for signs of rust, corrosion, scratches and other damages. We’ll also check your windshield, car windows and mirrors for cracks. Finally, we inspect the tread depth and wear patterns of your tyres to determine whether a tyre fitting or alignment is necessary.

• Interior inspection: During this stage, we’ll inspect the inside of your vehicle. This includes electrical components like your air conditioning, radio and dashboard controls. We also make sure your airbags, seatbelts and other safety features are working properly.

• Mechanical inspection: Next, our mechanics will conduct a mechanical inspection. We’ll determine whether you need repairs to your braking system, radiator, transmission, timing belt, suspension system and other complex internal components.

• Undercarriage inspection: We inspect your car’s undercarriage and check for signs of wear and tear like rust, corrosion and leaks. We also make sure your exhaust system is functioning properly.

• Electronic diagnostic scan: During a diagnostic scan, we’ll inspect the electronics of your vehicle. This includes the fault code of your engine management system and the electrical systems behind your airbags and transmission system.

• Road test: We take your vehicle for a drive of 3-5 kilometres to make sure the car is safe to drive.

• Document check: We’ll ensure that your car’s papers, including its vehicle identification number and maintenance records, are accurate and up-to-date.

• Drafting a service report: When we return your car to you, we’ll also give you a service report, which includes a detailed breakdown of the condition of your car and all the inspection services we performed.

Understanding the Components of a Car Inspection Certificate

A major reason many car owners bring their vehicles to us for an inspection is to receive roadworthy certification. A roadworthy certificate is essential if you plan to resell your car or clear defect notices. S.S.C. Mechanics is licensed by VicRoads to conduct roadworthy inspections, which include a thorough assessment of complex components of your car like its timing belt, braking system and transmission.

If we spot a defect during a car inspection, we’ll also suggest specific repair services to make sure your car passes the next inspection. If you receive these repairs within 7 days of your roadworthy inspection, you won’t need another full inspection.
