Nope, not here. Our tech team dives in deep with a multi-point inspection checklist that covers way more than just the basics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re talking brakes, rotors, and pads\u2014because stopping is kind of important, right? Suspension gets checked too, so you\u2019re not bouncing all over the road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWait, you test the A\/C too?\u201d You bet we do. Summer in North Carolina isn\u2019t the time to gamble on weak airflow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also look at tire tread, alignment, battery health, fluid levels, lights, signals\u2014you name it. Our mechanics even take it for a spin to listen for weird noises, squeaks, or rattles. If something\u2019s off, it gets fixed.
