FAQs - Multi-Point Inspections

Have questions? We have answers!

  • Which fluids are inspected during a fluid check?

    Depending on the vehicle and the service requested, a fluid check typically includes an inspection of the engine oil, coolant (antifreeze), brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid.

  • Why is a regular fluid check important?

    Essential vehicle fluids lubricate, cool, and operate various systems in your car. Low, dirty, or worn fluids can lead to poor drivability, decreased braking performance, overheating, and long-term

    mechanical damage. Regular checks help you stay ahead of preventable wear.

  • Can I add a fluid check to my oil change appointment?

    Yes, many customers add a fluid check to their full synthetic oil change. We also offer a Complete Care oil change option that provides broader routine maintenance support, including comprehensive fluid inspections.

  • How often should I have my vehicles fluids checked?

    It is a good practice to have your fluids checked at every oil change interval. This ensures that any slow leaks or degrading fluids are caught early before they cause significant problems.

  • Is a fluid check a good idea for older vehicles?

    Yes, fluid checks are especially important for older or higher-mileage vehicles, as seals and gaskets can wear over time, leading to fluid leaks or contamination. It is a practical way to maintain the reliability of your vehicle.

  • Can I get a fluid check without an oil change?

    Yes. Fluid checks are included in select oil change packages.

  • Is a fluid check included in any package?

    Yes. Fluid checks are included in select oil change packages.

  • What fluids may be checked?

    Depending on the vehicle and service type, a fluid check may include engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid (where applicable), washer fluid, and other accessible fluids.

  • Does a fluid check mean all fluids are changed?

    No. A fluid check is not the same as a fluid replacement or flush service.

  • When should I ask for a fluid check?

    A fluid check is a good idea during routine maintenance, before a road trip, with older or higher-mileage vehicles, or anytime you want a better sense of how your vehicle is doing.
