The Three Steps of Our Comprehensive Service Checklist: Inspection, Service, and Detailing

A thorough inspection is the first step of The Auto Group’s process in selling reliable pre-owned vehicles. Our trained technicians conduct a multi-point inspection that covers: 

  • Engine and powertrain evaluation 
  • Transmission condition check 
  • Brake system inspection 
  • Suspension and steering components 
  • Cooling and HVAC systems 
  • Battery and electrical systems 
  • Tire wear and alignment checks 
  • Safety feature functionality (airbags, sensors, lights, etc.) 

This in-depth inspection ensures that every Ford F-150, Chevrolet Equinox, Buick Encore, Chrysler Pacifica, or any model you find at our dealership meets strict performance and safety standards before reaching the lot. 


Professional Automotive Servicing for Every Pre-Owned Vehicle 

Once an inspection highlights what a vehicle needs, our team moves on to a complete service process designed to bring each car to peak condition. Our comprehensive pre-owned vehicle service includes: 

  • Oil and filter change using high-quality fluids 
  • Brake servicing, including new pads or resurfaced rotors if needed 
  • Tire rotation or replacement 
  • Transmission fluid inspection and service 
  • Replacing worn belts, hoses, or spark plugs 
  • Engine air filter and cabin air filter replacement

This step ensures each vehicle drives smoothly and reliably for its next owner. You can trust your local hometown dealership to provide safe, reliable vehicles for our neighbors.
