Multi-Point Inspection
Under our innovative buying program, all RK Motors vehicles receive a comprehensive, multi-point vehicle Service referred to as “Multi-Point Inspection, carried out by our experienced Master Mechanics at the RK Motors Service Center. The key attributes of the Multi-Point Inspection program are explained below. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact our Service Center.
What's included in the Multi-Point Inspection?
With looks, power and performance out of the way, there is one final subject to our Multi-Point Inspection process: the interior. It's where you'll spend the most time, so go the extra mile to make sure that time will be enjoyable and trouble free. Among other items, our interior checklist ensures:
Interior
- Speedometer functions
- Courtesy lights function if equipped
- Door handles operate properly
- Front seat belts work properly if equipped
- Horn operates
- Drivers seat adjusts properly
The exterior of a car provides considerable insight into its overall condition and quality. If everything meets our standards visually, basic functionality is next on the list. Our team goes over all the standard exterior items to be sure:
EXTERIOR
- Convertible top functions
- Hood and trunk latches function properly
- Doors open and close properly
- Windows go up and down properly if equipped
- Wiper blades inspected and wipers function
We know most of our customers like to drive their cars – not just off the trailer but out on the roads in every day conditions. In order to make sure the cars we sell offer a proper driving experience, our technicians go through every inch of the chassis to ensure reliability, safety and solid performance.
Our techs begin by performing a visual inspection to note items such as corrosion, loose fasteners or improperly routed lines. If everything appears sound, suspension and steering is up next. Again, the tech goes through the car to ensure:
DRIVABILITY
- All Suspension components are in place
- Power steering fluid is checked and topped off
- Bushings and joints are checked for wear
- Axle bearings and seals are inspected for wear
- Shocks are inspected for leaks
- Torque checked on fasteners
- Steering wheel is straight
- Alignment checked if pull is present
- Grease all points with grease fittings
Car enthusiasts prefer to customize and tune the suspension to fit their driving style and desired performance goals. Our technicians during their inspection are mindful of the impact and importance of modifying such an integral component of an automobile as a well-engineered and properly tuned suspension is critical to safely deliver the performance capabilities of the vehicle.
SUSPENSION
- Check for vibrations
- Balance tires if vibration is felt
- Check for major leaks
- Set tire pressure
Brakes are one of the best places to spend when building a high performance car. From vacuum drum brakes to huge power discs, we go through all of them to make sure they are fully operational, free from major leaks and road ready. Wheels and tires are also inspected for damage or irregular wear of any kind.
BRAKES
- Brake pads/shoes checked for condition
- Emergency brake operated if equipped
- Check the system for leaks
- Brakes function with no pull
- Check brake fluid level and condition
While a first rate exterior is huge part of a car's appeal, it doesn't mean a thing without power. From small blocks to big blocks, inline four cylinders to W10's, the RK Motors Service Center knows engines inside and out. To make sure our customers get reliable performance, our Multi-Point Inspection process covers all the basics to ensure:
