DIAGNOSE AND/OR REPAIR
A COMPLETE VEHICLE INSPECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED ANNUALLY ON EVERY VEHICLE. OUR ANNUAL INSPECTION CHECKS ALL OF YOUR VEHICLE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: CHECK FOR TUNE UP CHECK BATTERY CHECK ALL FLUIDS FOR LEVEL AND CONDITION CHECK ALL BELTS CHECK ALL LIGHTS CHECK TIRES CHECK STEERING COMPONENTS CHECK SUSPENSION CHECK BRAKES, FRONT AND REAR CHECK EXHAUST CHECK DRIVETRAIN CHECK FOR LEAKS AND RUST WE FOUND THAT THE SPARK PLUGS ARE WORN. WE FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR ARE QUITE DIRTY. WE FOUND THAT THE TIRES ARE DRY ROTTING BADLY ENOUGH TO BECOME DANGEROUS, THE DRIVER REAR HAS A BROKEN BELT. WE FOUND THAT THE REAR SHOCKS ARE LEAKING SOME. WE FOUND THAT THE TIMING COVER IS LEAKING A BIT, MONITOR. WE FOUND SOME OIL COMING OUT OF THE AIR INTAKE TUBE, NEED TO CHECK PCV SYSTEM. WE FOUND THAT THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE AROUND 60% PAD LIFE, BUT RUSTY ROTORS, THE REAR HAVE 25-30% PAD LIFE AND VERY RUSTY ROTORS. THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR A HYBRID VEHICLE. WE FOUND A DECENT AMOUNT OF RUST UNDER VEHICLE. THE DRIP EDGES ESPECIALLY ARE ROUGH, NOTHING TOO STRUCTURAL AT THIS TIME.
THANK YOU!

LUBRICATE AND CHECK CHASSIS. CHANGE OIL, CHANGE OIL FILTER. CHECK AIR FILTER AND BREATHER FILTER. CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS AND TIRE PRESSURES. PERFORM BASIC SAFETY INSPECTION.
DURING OUR INSPECTION WE FOUND THAT THE BATTERY FAILED OUR INITIAL TESTING. WE FULLY CHARGED THE BATTERY AND IT STILL FAILED TESTING. WE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. NOTE: THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REPLACE THIS UNDER WARRANTY AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS NOT GETTING DRIVEN ENOUGH TO KEEP THE BATTERY IN GOOD CONDITION.
DURING OUR INSPECTION WE FOUND THAT THE DRIVER FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULB WAS OUT. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE BULB, THE LOCK BROKE ON THE PIGTAIL FOR THE LIGHT. THESE GET BRITTLE FROM EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURE EXTREMES. INSTALL A NEW BULB, ZIP TIED THE PIGTAIL TO THE SOCKET.
