Why Multi-Point Inspections are So Important

You might notice that when you take your car in for service at a reputable service center, like Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills Service Center, the technician will typically perform a multi-point vehicle inspection. These inspections are almost always complimentary, and they can save you a ton of money down the line. But what are they and how do they help save you money? The Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills Service Team has the details.

What are multi-point inspections?

During most service visits, the technician will perform an inspection of all the components on your vehicle. During this inspection, the technician will look for any excessive wear and tear, possible issues, or things that may need service soon. Technicians look over your entire vehicle to ensure your safety and your vehicle's performance.

What do they inspect?

Technicians will look at almost every major component of the vehicle, with a focus on anything that typically needs maintenance. That includes:

• Suspension
• Fluids
• Filters
• Hoses and belts
• Tires
• Battery
• Brakes
• Steering Components
• Engine
• Transmission

How Does This Save Money?

By identifying potential issues early on, you can plan for items that may need to be replaced soon, and prevent more extensive (and expensive) repairs later.
