How a General Inspection works with My Auto Shop:

Our qualified mechanic will look to complete a thorough inspection of your vehicle using the information you have provided via the My Auto Shop platform. To complete this the mechanic will usually start by plugging into your OBDII port and completing a complete diagnostic scan. This will highlight any error or warning codes your vehicle has and will provide the mechanic with information they. need to fix your problem.

Before completing any repairs the mechanic will complete a quote and look for your approval.

When your experiencing a burning wood or rubber smell its often as a result of a:

  • Overheating brake or tyre
  • Slipping or malfunctioning clutch

Popular services linked to a General Inspection:

Indicator Bulb Replacement

Letting everyone else know that you’re turning is always a good idea. To do this, car makers install indicators on your car. They’re such a good idea that the New Zealand Government made it a law that you have to have them and if they aren’t working then the Police can fine you. These small orange lights can be the difference between having an accident or not.

Tyre Replacement

When you purchase new tyres, a mechanic will always need to fit them to the wheel.

Headlight Bulb Replacement

The headlights are a critically important party of your car and something that should always be in perfect working condition. Unless you’re good at driving by feel alone, your headlights are what allows you to drive safely at night.

Side Window Replacement

The side windows in your car roll down in summer to let some fresh air in, keep the sun's rays out and stop rain coming in. If one of them breaks, you’ll need to replace it.
