What Is a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection?

A multi-point inspection is a thorough check of both vehicle basics and core components of key systems. In a Nissan inspection, we check fluid levels, your filters, belts, and hoses and perform a battery test. We can also look at your wiper blades, check tire inflation, and more. These inspections make it possible for us to identify areas you need addressed during a service visit or should keep in mind when planning for future maintenance appointments, such as fluid exchanges or mile-based checkups.

Benefits of Multi-point Inspection Service

Many of the items covered in a multi-point inspection are things you eventually change anyway, such as the oil or wiper blades. However, other items, like your battery, are a bit more niche. A battery gradually losing its charging ability over time, and a bad battery can leave you stranded on a cold morning or in the middle of summer. A simple battery check at a multi-point inspection can help prevent this by identifying when its useful life is concluding. Other services provided, such as a tire check, let you know about other potential areas of concern like a bad tire or help you leave with four properly inflated tires after an appointment.

How Often Should I Get My Car Inspected?

It's a good idea to couple a multi-point inspection with your routine maintenance visits, such as each oil change. The multi-point inspection is recommended approximately every 5,000 miles, but you have a bit of wiggle room on either side. Opt for the Nissan inspection with at least every other oil change or three to four times per year to ensure you stay on top of basic needs and identify problem areas before becoming major issues.
