Catch small car problems before they turn into big repairs with a free Courtesy Check.

GET A FREE SAFETY INSPECTION FROM FIRESTONE

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for any service, and you'll receive a free Courtesy Check for your vehicle. It's our goal to help you keep your car in tip-top shape, but we know that can be hard to do if you don't know what's going on under the hood. With our Courtesy Checks, we make sure nothing remains a mystery!  

During the free Courtesy Check, a knowledgeable technician will visually examine your tires, fluid levels, belts, lights, wipers, battery, coolant hoses, and more. They'll keep an eye out for any existing problems or soon-to-be problems so you can either have them fixed on the spot or start budgeting for an important repair in the near future. By catching potential issues early, a car inspection will not only save you time, money, and headaches, it’ll also help extend the life of your vehicle. We always recommend following the MSMS (Manufacturer Suggested Maintenance Schedule) to get the most out of your vehicle.

We're committed to the health of your vehicle, and that health begins with expert car inspections.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A COURTESY CHECK?

Your complimentary car inspection will start with a free battery test. This will tell you about how much life is left in your battery. A qualified technician will then visually examine:

  • Battery Related Components
  • Windshield Wiper Blades
  • Headlights, Mini Lights
  • Air Filter
  • Cabin Air Filter (if accessible)
  • PCV Valve (if applicable)
  • Fluid Levels
  • Belts and Coolant Hoses
  • Tire Condition
  • Tire Pressure Check
  • Tire Tread Depth
  • Illuminated TPMS Light
  • Visual Signs of Some Misalignment Conditions

WHEN TO GET YOUR CAR INSPECTED

Cars require regular maintenance to stay in good condition. But even with the most diligent maintenance schedule, parts will eventually need to be replaced, and it’s always better to anticipate bigger repairs so you can plan and budget for them. Getting a thorough car inspection every six to twelve months will help ensure you’re informed about possible upcoming repair needs and catch these issues before they become a bigger problem.

In addition to regular preventative inspections, sometimes it’s obvious that your car isn't working as it should. From squeaky brakes to plumes of smoke from the exhaust to fluid leaks in the driveway, unusual sights, smells, or sounds can all be signs that your vehicle needs help. 

It’s a good idea to schedule a car inspection appointment if:

  • Your vehicle has any illuminated dashboard lights
  • You hear strange sounds coming from any part of your car
  • Your engine won't start sometimes
  • Your car pulls to one side of the road, even though you're steering straight

Rest assured, when you bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care for any service, it will be fixed right the first time — we guarantee it.
