WHY DO I NEED ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTIONS TO DRIVE FOR UBER OR LYFT?

Both ride-sharing services use inspections to help confirm that your vehicle is safe and reliable. It’s not good for business if drivers are showing up in dilapidated vehicles or having car trouble in the middle of their rides. That’s the big reason both Uber and Lyft require their drivers to stay up to date with their regular car maintenance. Their customers expect a ride in a vehicle that’s running well.

Getting regular maintenance is also important for you personally. If you drive for Uber or Lyft regularly, you’re putting hundreds of miles on your vehicle every week, if not more. That kind of heavy use can lead your vehicle to age prematurely and start experiencing problems. Regular maintenance can help.

ARE MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS WORTH THE MONEY?

It’s worth it to get a vehicle inspection because the inspection is your best chance to catch minor issues before they grow into major issues. Our experienced mechanics know how to identify minor issues and repair them, keeping your car in the best condition possible. If you drive your car for hundreds of miles unchecked, even small problems can start to spread. That may sound like a cautionary tale, but it’s really true.



When you drive your car without handling its basic needs, some parts of it start to undergo an unnecessary level of stress. When your vehicle is running in suboptimal conditions, it runs less efficiently. One part of your vehicle running poorly can throw entire systems off, which in turn puts undue stress on other parts, too. After a while, you’re starting to see even more problems come up because of the way you’re running your car in difficult conditions.

Regular maintenance and vehicle inspections help make sure your vehicle’s most basic needs are being met. Our skilled mechanics will take care of things like brake service, tire inspections, and oil changes. Doing so will help your car run more smoothly, which can help it be more efficient and will almost certainly save you from an expensive repair or two at some point. The low inputs of time and money required for your vehicle inspection are well worth it to keep up with factory-recommended maintenance and confirm that your vehicle is safe for the road.
