Question 1

What’s included with a car inspection near me?

Accepted Answer

Our professional technicians perform a detailed 29-point Free Car Care Check that serves as a report card for your vehicle — today's condition and any repairs it may need down the road. It's always free, with or without another service, and covers: wipers, washer fluid pump, bulbs, service lights, blower motor operation, A/C condenser (visual), check engine light, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, differential fluid, oil, vent service, fuel system preventative maintenance, air filter, cabin air filter, belts, hoses, steering linkage, suspension, driveline, tire tread depth, tire pressure, brake pads/shoes, brake rotors/drums, battery, alignment, and horn functionality. You'll get the full results by text or email, with photos of anything that needs attention.

Question 2

Where can I get a car inspection near me?

Accepted Answer

Good news — all our Goodyear Auto Service locations offer vehicle inspections when you come in for any service at any time of year, including things like tire and wheel balancing. While this isn't the same as an emissions test or a state inspection, we also provide those at select locations. Find a service center near you on our Find a Service Center page.

Question 3

Will you start work without asking me first?

Accepted Answer

No. If we find anything that needs attention, we'll send a quote with photos, and you approve or decline the work right in your report. We won't start anything until you say go — and we'll update your final cost to reflect only what you approved.

Question 4

How often do you need to get your vehicle inspected?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a Free Car Care Check with each Oil Change Service or any other service appointment, so you can stay up-to-date on your vehicle's condition. Catching necessary repairs early can help you avoid significant fixes.
