"I have no idea what that shop did to my car when they fixed it." If you have ever left an auto repair shop feeling unsure, you are not alone. Cars are complicated, and it is hard to picture what is going on underneath the hood or under the vehicle when you cannot see it yourself.


That is exactly why we use a Digital Multi Point Inspection at Precision Auto Repair in West Springfield, MA.


This inspection is free with every service, and it is built around one simple goal:

help you understand what we see, in real time, with photos and clear notes.


What is a Digital Multi Point Inspection

A Digital Multi Point Inspection is a structured vehicle check that we perform while your car is with us. Instead of vague notes or quick verbal explanations, we document what we find and send it directly to your phone.


You get:

  • Photos of concerns we spot

  • Notes written in plain language

  • A clear view of what looks good and what needs attention

  • A record that stays tied to your vehicle over time

Think of it like a snapshot of your vehicle’s health, taken by a trained technician, and shared with you in a way that actually makes sense.


What we check during the inspection


Every vehicle is different, but our Digital Multi Point Inspection is designed to cover the most important systems that affect safety, reliability, and long term cost.


Here are some of the areas we commonly inspect:



Tires and basic safety checks

We check your tires for:

  • Tread depth and wear patterns

  • Uneven wear that may point to alignment or suspension issues

  • Visible damage like cracking, bulges, or nails

  • Overall tire condition so you know what to plan for next



Fluids and top offs

Fluids are a big deal, especially in New England where weather changes put extra stress on vehicles.


We look at fluid levels and condition and top off what we can, including items like:

  • Engine oil level

  • Coolant level

  • Brake fluid level

  • Power steering fluid if applicable

  • Windshield washer fluid


If we see a fluid that is low, dirty, or leaking, we note it and show you.



Suspension and steering

Your suspension affects how your car rides, how it handles, and how your tires wear.


We inspect components like:

  • Shocks and struts

  • Ball joints and tie rods

  • Control arms and bushings

  • Sway bar links

  • Signs of looseness, damage, or wear


We also look for anything that could turn into a noise, vibration, or safety concern.

Leaks and under vehicle checks

Many issues start as small leaks. Catching them early can save a lot of money and prevent surprise breakdowns.


We look for:

  • Oil leaks

  • Coolant leaks

  • Power steering leaks if applicable

  • Transmission fluid leaks

  • Exhaust concerns

  • Rust issues where relevant


If we find a leak, we document where it is coming from, what it is affecting, and what happens if it gets worse.



A quick brake check and more

Brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle. During the inspection, we do a quick check of brake condition and related components.


Depending on what your vehicle needs and what service you came in for, we also review other items that can include:


  • Battery condition and visible corrosion

  • Belts and hoses

  • Lights and wipers

  • Filters

  • Anything else we can see during that visit


In short, we look at the big picture. Not just the one reason you came in.

The best part: we send it to your phone with photos

After we perform the inspection, we send the results right to your phone. That means you do not have to take our word for it. You can actually see what we see.


Photos make a huge difference because:

  • You can understand the problem faster

  • You can share it with a family member if you want a second opinion

  • You can keep it for your records

  • You can make decisions with confidence



It turns a confusing situation into something clear.



This is more than an inspection. It is a long term record of your car.

One of the biggest benefits of a Digital Multi Point Inspection is the history it creates.


Cars do not usually go from perfect to broken overnight. Most problems build over time. A small seep becomes a leak. A tire starts wearing unevenly. A bushing begins to crack. A brake pad gets thinner, little by little.


With our digital inspection system, we can:

  • Notate issues as they appear

  • Track when they change over time

  • Compare past visits to today

  • Help you plan repairs before they become emergencies


That is the real value. It helps you stay ahead.


Trust comes from transparency

We know that trust matters. We also know the auto repair industry has a reputation for being unclear or pushy. That is not how we operate.


At Precision Auto Repair, we believe:


  • You should understand the recommendation

  • You should know what is urgent and what can wait

  • You should have proof, not pressure

  • You should be able to look back at past suggestions anytime


With the digital inspection, you have a paper trail with photos and notes. You can always trust that we have records of anything we have ever suggested, and you can reference it whenever you want.



We will tell you what you need now and what can wait

Not everything needs to be fixed the moment it is found.


Part of our job is helping you prioritize. During your inspection results, we will make it clear when:

  • Something should be handled soon for safety or to prevent damage

  • Something should be planned for in the near future

  • Something can wait and simply be monitored


This empowers you to make decisions that fit your budget and your schedule, without guessing.



Why this matters in West Springfield

Between potholes, salt, cold starts, and hot summers, vehicles in West Springfield go through a lot. Small problems can grow quickly if they are missed.


A free Digital Multi Point Inspection with every service gives you a better chance of catching things early and staying in control of your vehicle’s maintenance.
