Book Mechanical Inspection in Rawalpindi

A mechanical inspection is the health check you book before a long trip, before selling, or when a car is behaving oddly without an obvious fault. A computerised scan costs Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 and reads stored fault codes. A full inspection covering engine, brakes, suspension, steering, electricals and fluids is Rs 4,000 to Rs 9,000 and takes ninety minutes to three hours.

Workshops in I-10, G-8, Faizabad and Bahria Town with proper diagnostic equipment handle this properly; a roadside mechanic with a generic code reader does not. Book an inspection before any drive to the Northern Areas or over the Murree road in winter, where a brake or cooling problem becomes a serious matter rather than an inconvenience.

Insist on a written report listing every item checked with a pass, monitor or fail rating, and ask for photographs of anything marked as a fault. A verbal summary at the counter is worth very little and cannot be used to negotiate with a seller or to hold the workshop to its own findings a month later.
