Car Safety Inspection: What Mechanics Look For
Keeping Our Neighbors Safe: Your Car's Safety Check
At ProAuto, we think of your car as more than just a way to get around.

That's why we're super serious about car safety. It's not just about following the rules; it's about making sure you, your family, and everyone else on the road is safe and sound.
Think of a car safety inspection as a friendly check-up for your ride. Our amazing team of certified technicians will give all the important parts a good look to make sure everything is in great shape. We want you to feel confident and secure every time you hit the road.
The Vital Systems Under Scrutiny: What Our Mechanics Examine
When you bring your car to ProAuto for a safety inspection, you're trusting us with something important, and we take that seriously! Our experienced mechanics will give your car a thorough check-up, focusing on the things that matter most for your safety:
- Brakes: Your Car's Best Friend. Let's be real, your brakes are like superheroes for your car. They help you stop quickly and safely, especially when you really need them. We'll check everything – the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and hoses – to make sure they're all working perfectly. We'll also check the brake fluid to make sure it's clean and at the right level.
- If you hear any squealing, grinding, or feel a spongy feeling when you press the brake pedal, don't wait! Bring your car in, and we'll get it fixed up. We want to make sure your brakes are always ready to save the day.
- Tires: Where the Rubber Meets the Road. Your tires are what connect you to the road, so it's super important to keep them in good condition. We'll check the tread depth to make sure you have enough grip, especially when the weather gets a bit crazy. We'll also look for any signs of damage, like cuts or bulges, that could cause a blowout. And, of course, we'll make sure your tires are properly inflated for the best performance and safety.
- Remember, good tires are essential for safe driving, especially when it's raining or snowing. We're always happy to give you advice on the best tires for your car and how you like to drive.
- Lights: See and Be Seen. Lights are your car's way of talking to the world. We'll check all your lights – headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals – to make sure they're bright and working right. We'll also adjust your headlights to make sure they're aimed properly so you can see clearly without blinding other drivers.
- When the days get shorter or the weather gets gloomy, good lights are more important than ever. We'll make sure you can see and be seen, no matter what's going on outside.
- Battery: Powering Your Ride. Your car's battery does more than just start the engine. It also powers your lights, wipers, and other important safety stuff. We'll check your battery to make sure it's strong and healthy, and we'll clean the terminals to make sure everything's connected well.
- A weak battery can leave you stuck, especially when it's cold out. We'll help you keep your battery in top shape so you can always count on your car to get you where you need to go.
- Other Important Stuff: We'll also check your windshield wipers, fluids, and other important parts to make sure everything is working as it should. We believe in going the extra mile to keep you safe.
