What's involved

What this repair actually is.

A technician goes through a written multi-point checklist: brake wear, tire condition and pressure, all fluid levels and condition, belts and hoses, battery health, lights, and wipers. You get a plain-English report of what's good, what's worth watching, and what needs attention now. It's the smart move before highway miles or a season change.
