Leaks

Look for fluid leaks under your vehicle. Fluid loss can indicate component failure in areas where levels aren't readily checked (transmission or fuel systems).

Tires

Check proper inflation, tire condition (cuts or other damage) and tread depth. Too much or too little air pressure causes bad wear. No fabric should show through the tread or sidewall.

Lug nuts

Make sure all lug nuts are present and tight. Loose or missing lug nuts can cost you a wheel.

Directional signals & lights

Confirm all lights and turn signals — left/right, front/rear — work properly.

Fluids

Check all vehicle fluids including oil and washer fluid.
