Ready or not, back-to-school season is right around the corner and that means many college students are preparing for the start of the semester. For countless students, returning to campus means travel on major roadways so those miles driven are about to go up.
Before the car is packed and ready to go, Pep Boys Auto Service & Tires is reminding college students and their families of a few ways they can prepare their vehicles before they drive off to another great school year.
In addition to being equipped with the latest technology to handle today’s complex vehicles, Pep Boys offers an entirely digital customer experience from online appointment booking to service tracking and mobile pay so it’s easy to get ready for the road and back to school now more than ever.
Receive a Courtesy Vehicle Inspection Not sure what your car needs done? At Pep Boys, anyone can get a Courtesy Vehicle Inspection (CVI) with no purchase necessary!
During this inspection, our Pep Boys Pros will visually inspect and report on:
- Exterior lights
- Wiper blades
- Dashboard lights
- Visual brake check
- Visual alignment check
- Fluid level check
- Check engine light code pull
- Tire pressure check, tread and wear
The CVI includes a detailed report of all inspected items along with photos with required or suggested repairs to better understand which services are urgent or can wait.
The CVI can be printed or sent via text message, so your loved ones near or far can also access the car’s inspection.
Since many college students stay at school for the entire semester, it’s important to take advantage of the CVI to understand action that needs to be taken now and what can wait for winter break.
If you are looking for a technician to do a more detailed review, we offer a 120-point vehicle assessment for a fee.
