So, what is a 27-point inspection?
In a nutshell, a 27-point inspection, also known as a vehicle report card, is a multi-point inspection of your vehicle that is highly recommended by the company (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, etc.). The inspection is divided into seven categories. These categories are then divided into several sections. An example is:
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
- Oil Change & Filter
- Tire Rotation
- Multi-Point Inspection
Each of these topics have boxes next to them which are checked off by your mechanic. Some of these boxes are colored in green, yellow, and red. In these instances the colors represent:
Green – Checked and OK at this time
Yellow – May require future attention
Red – Requires immediate attention
Stay tuned for upcoming posts where we further break down the 27-point inspection and why you need one. Car maintenance is important, and inspections are all part of helping your vehicle run as smoothly as can be.
