How Often Should Your Car Be Inspected?

In the state of Colorado, car inspections aren’t mandatory but can be extremely helpful in car maintenance and avoiding expensive future repairs. At our AAMCO Colorado locations, we offer a pre-purchase inspection to help pinpoint as issues with your used car purchase or a vehicle courtesy check to assess and address any problems with your current vehicle. 

There’s no set schedule for your car inspection but it’s important to get a used car that you’re thinking about purchasing inspected to avoid future problems and costly repairs. Additionally, getting your current vehicle inspected every year can help with regular maintenance and help avoid costly repairs if your mechanic sees an issue.

If you’re thinking about buying a used vehicle or making sure your current car is up to date on factory recommended maintenance, schedule an appointment with us today.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

There are several issues that can be initially spotted during a pre-purchase inspection for a used car. For example, if the car has been in an accident, it can be important to check for frame damage which can make the vehicle less safe in a possible future accident and affect performance and car lifespan. 

Additionally, checking that past repairs were done properly to ensure a safe vehicle and smooth driving experience is important to buying a car. Even checking for flood damage can help assess a car’s value because it can affect the car’s systems and performance.
