BUYERS OF PRE-USED VEHICLE
Did you know that when the Nova Scotia government changed the yearly motor vehicle inspections to every 2yrs that the laws changed when buying a pre-owned vehicle? If you purchase a pre-owned vehicle with an inspection sticker older than 30 days, then the vehicle has to be re-inspected. At Under The Hood Auto Service we provide a pre-owned vehicle inspection, consisting of a road test, scan for codes that may be stored in the computer, inspect AC operation, test battery, inspect fluid levels, belts, hoses, lights, tire wear. Visually inspect brakes, suspension, exhaust and the body of the vehicle for holes and rust. You will receive a complete report of the inspection. To reveal the true cost of the vehicle you are buying come in for a pre-owned vehicle inspection. For only $49.95 plus tax you can have the peace of mind that the vehicle you are buying is a good safe investment– Motor Vehicle Inspections

Manufacturers Warranty
Consumer purchasers of filters are sometimes told that an aftermarket brand of replacement filter cannot be used in the consumer’s vehicle during the warranty period. The claim is made that use of an aftermarket brand will “void the warranty,” with the statement or implication that only the original equipment brand of filters may be used. This tends to cast doubt on the quality of the aftermarket filter.
