What’s Involved in a Maserati Vehicle Inspection?

Maserati service is essential for several reasons. You might need a vehicle inspection when buying a new or pre-owned Maserati vehicle from our Houston, TX Maserati dealership. The state of Texas requires regular vehicle inspections, as well.

What’s involved in these inspections, and what do the technicians do? Helfman Maserati has put together this vehicle inspection guide to help you understand. 

Elements of a Maserati Inspection

All registered vehicles in Texas must undergo a safety inspection once a year. Whether it’s required or not, we still recommend bringing your vehicle into our Maserati service center for regular inspections and maintenance. 

Here are five things a technician will check during a vehicle inspection:

  1. Windshield

Technicians will check the windshield for cracks, chips, or loose seals, posing safety hazards. Even small cracks or chips can impair your view and even threaten the integrity of the car’s structure.

  1. Tires

Your tires will be checked for damaged and worn treads and ensure your tires are the same size and style. Technicians will even include inspecting your spare tire for damage. 

  1. Lights

A thorough vehicle inspection will include checking the headlights and high beams, brake lights, backup lights, emergency flashers, and turn signals. These systems contribute to your safety at night and during the day.

  1. Steering and alignment

Technicians will inspect the steering and alignment systems to ensure nothing is loose, damaged, or failing. Alignment issues must be addressed before the vehicle can pass the inspections. 

  1. Fluids

Fluid leaks can pose serious safety hazards for any vehicle. Technicians will inspect all fluids, including brake, power steering, transmission, coolant/radiator, a/c coolant, windshield washer wiper, and oil. They’ll also check the hoses that transfer fluids to those parts and systems.
