Regular vehicle inspections help you stay ahead of costly problems and unexpected breakdowns. Here are the key situations when scheduling an inspection can save you money and keep you safe.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Before buying any used vehicle, have it professionally inspected to reveal hidden problems that could cost thousands later. Our thorough evaluation helps you negotiate fairly or avoid costly mistakes.
Pre-Trip Assessment
Don't risk a breakdown far from home. Our pre-trip inspections identify worn components that could fail during your journey, ensuring safe travels for you and your family.
Seasonal Preparation
Indiana's harsh winters and hot summers stress your vehicle's systems. Fall and spring inspections prepare your car for changing conditions and prevent weather-related failures.
New Vehicle Check
Even if you skipped the pre-purchase inspection, having your new-to-you vehicle examined helps you plan for upcoming maintenance needs and understand its true condition.
Annual Maintenance
As vehicles age, more components wear out. Annual inspections catch developing problems early when repairs are simpler and less expensive than emergency fixes.

I don’t usually leave Google reviews, but I had such a great experience here. It was really easy to schedule an appointment, everyone was very friendly and took the time to explain everything clearly, and the whole process was quick and smooth. The pricing was also very reasonable. As long as I’m living in South Bend, I’ll definitely come back here if I have any issues with my car. Thank you so much!

Val and the boys at A-Plus Auto Service have been amazing. I brought my car to them as they work with my warranty. I am so glad I picked them out of all the other shops. They explained all my issues and fixed the items promptly. They earned a return customer because of thier customer service skills.

The guys at A-Plus Auto did a great job of communicating what was needed to keep my older car driving safely. Their prices were reasonable and they were able to get some of the repairs covered under warranty. Thanks!
