Pre-Trip Inspections FAQs

What does a pre-trip inspection include?

It focuses on practical safety and reliability items such as tyres, brakes, fluids, battery condition, lights, visible leaks and suspension concerns.

How soon before a trip should I book an inspection?

Allow enough time for any recommended repairs to be completed before departure.

Is a pre-trip inspection the same as a service?

No. A service follows scheduled maintenance requirements, while a pre-trip inspection focuses on vehicle readiness.

Is a pre-trip check worthwhile for an older vehicle?

It can be especially useful for high-mileage or older vehicles before prolonged highway or long-distance use.
