FREE 25-Point Car Checkup in Dombivli: Kya-Kya Check Hota Hai

Quick answer: Autoport's FREE 25-point checkup is a no-charge inspection of your car at Desai Naka, opposite Croma (SK Plaza) on Kalyan-Shilphata Road, Dombivli East — free on every visit, not a one-day offer. The workshop lists four checks by name: engine oil level and quality, suspension and steering, cabin/AC filter, and battery testing. The remaining points cover the usual inspection areas, jaise brakes, tyres, lights, fluids, coolant and belts. After the checkup you are told what was found, you get a quote for anything that needs work, and no work starts without your approval. The workshop is open 24x7. Call or WhatsApp +91 72080 15250.

This page explains the checkup the way a car owner actually needs it: what the four listed checks look at, what the other points generally cover, when a checkup is worth your time, what happens after the inspection, and how it differs from a full service. It does not list 25 named items one by one, because the workshop publishes four checks by name and the rest are the usual areas of a thorough inspection — and this page says so plainly instead of inventing a list.

FREE 25-point checkup kya hota hai — aur kya nahi

A checkup is an inspection, not a service and not a repair. The mechanic looks at the car, checks the listed points, and tells you what is fine, what needs attention soon, and what needs attention now. No oil is changed, no part is replaced, and nothing is fixed during a checkup itself. If something needs fixing, that becomes a separate job with its own quote, and it starts only after you say yes. That separation is the whole point: the checkup tells you the condition of the car, and you decide what to do about it.

The checkup is free on every visit. There is no charge for the inspection itself, no booking fee, and nothing is paid online. If the checkup finds work that needs doing, that work is quoted after inspection, and the quote is yours to accept or leave. The evergreen offer alongside the checkup is up to 15% OFF labour on the work you approve — no code needed, no last date attached to it. What the checkup is not: it is not a substitute for a scheduled service, it does not reset your service interval, and it does not come with any promise about what the car will or will not do afterwards. Your owner's manual decides the service interval; the checkup sits between services, catching things early.

The four checks Autoport lists by name

Four checks are listed by name on the workshop's own pages and in its short video about the checkup. These are the confirmed part of the 25-point checkup, and they are worth understanding one by one, because each one catches a different kind of trouble.

Engine oil level and quality. Oil is the one fluid that decides how long an engine lasts, and it is also the easiest to get wrong. Low oil starves the engine; old, blackened oil stops protecting it. The check looks at the level on the dipstick and the condition of the oil — its colour and thickness — and the reading is matched against what the car has done since its last service. If the level is low, the first question is why: a leak, or consumption. A top-up without finding the reason only hides the problem for a few weeks. Our engine oil change guide explains oil grades and change intervals for petrol, diesel and CNG cars.

Suspension and steering. Dombivli roads test suspension every day: speed breakers, potholes on Kalyan-Shilphata Road, and the broken edges near junctions. The check looks at how the car behaves — a pull to one side, a clunk over a bump, a steering wheel that feels loose or heavy, or a ride that has gone bouncy. These are feel-based signs first, and they are checked with the car on the ground and, where needed, raised. Worn suspension does not just make the ride uncomfortable; it changes braking distances and tyre wear. Our suspension repair guide explains the noises and the feel that point to suspension trouble.

Cabin / AC filter. The cabin filter sits between the outside air and the air you breathe inside the car, and it also decides how hard the AC has to work. A choked filter means weak airflow, a musty smell when the AC starts, and cooling that feels weaker than it should, especially in summer. The check looks at the filter's condition and whether it is cleaning the air or blocking it. It is a small part with an outsized effect on comfort, and it is one of the most commonly skipped items in a hurried service. Our AC repair guide explains weak cooling, bad smells and gas refill decisions.

Battery testing. A battery rarely fails without warning — it fails after weeks of small warnings that nobody noticed: a slow crank on a cold morning, dim lights at idle, or a car that needed a jump after standing for a few days. The test checks charge and health, not just whether the car starts today. Short trips and long stands are the two things that kill batteries in Dombivli, because the battery never gets a proper charge. A test at checkup time finds a weak battery before it strands you outside a society gate at night. Our battery guide explains the nine signs that a battery is on its way out.

Baaki 20 points: "jaise" samjhiye, poori list nahi

Here is the honest part, and it matters. The workshop names four checks. It does not publish a numbered list of all 25 points, and this page will not invent one. The remaining points are the usual areas a thorough checkup covers — jaise brakes, tyres, lights, fluids, coolant and belts. That "jaise" is deliberate: these are the kinds of things a proper inspection looks at, not a promise that a specific item on a hidden list was ticked.

What those areas generally mean in practice: brakes are looked at for pad wear and pedal feel, because a brake problem is a safety problem and it never improves by waiting. Tyres are looked at for tread depth, pressure and sidewall damage, including the spare, because a tyre that looks fine can still be running at half pressure. Lights are checked all round — headlights, tail lights, indicators and brake lights — because a dead brake light is the kind of thing only the driver behind you notices. Fluid levels are checked where they can be seen, coolant included, because low coolant is how an engine overheats on a hot day. Belts are looked at for cracks and wear, because a belt is a small part whose failure stops the car completely. If any of these areas shows something wrong, it goes into the findings and the quote, the same as the four listed checks. Our brake repair guide and our tyre guide explain the symptoms that mean brakes or tyres need attention before the next drive.

Checkup kab karwana chahiye: 5 sahi waqt

A checkup is most useful when something is about to change for the car. The first time is before a long drive — Lonavala, Pune, Nashik, or a highway run after months of short city trips. A car that has only done society-to-station runs can hide a weak battery, low coolant or a worn belt until the highway asks more of it. Get the checkup done a few days before the trip, not on the morning of it, so that anything found can actually be fixed. Our long-drive checklist covers the full before-you-leave routine.

The second time is a season change. Summer asks the AC and the cooling system for more; the monsoon asks the wipers, lights and tyres for more; winter mornings expose a weak battery first. The third time is when the car itself says something: a new noise, a vibration, a warning light, a smell, or a feeling that the car is not driving like itself. A checkup is the right first step for a symptom that has no obvious cause, because it finds the cause before the symptom becomes a breakdown. Our warning signs guide explains which lights and sounds mean stop, and which mean book soon. The fourth time is around a used car — before buying one, or before selling yours, a checkup gives both sides the same facts. Our used-car inspection checklist explains what buyers check. The fifth time is after the car has stood unused for weeks, because standing still ages a battery, flattens tyre spots and lets fluids settle, and a checkup after a long park is cheaper than a rescue after a failed start.

Checkup ke baad kya hota hai: findings, quote, approval

The checkup ends with a conversation, not a bill. The mechanic tells you what was found, in plain words: what is fine, what needs attention soon, and what needs attention now. Anything that needs work is quoted after inspection, with parts and labour listed separately, so you can see what the money is for. You then decide — do it now, do it at the next service, or leave it. Extra work is done only after your approval, and old parts can be shown to you on request.

Two habits make the report more useful. First, ask which findings are safety items and which are wear items: a brake or steering finding is a safety item and should not wait; a worn wiper or a dusty filter is a wear item you can plan around. Second, keep the findings with the car's records — the date, the kilometre reading, and what was flagged for next time. That note is what turns one checkup into a history, and a history is what helps the next mechanic and the next buyer. If the checkup finds nothing, that is also a result: it means the car is in the shape you hoped, and the next step is simply the next service on the manual's schedule.

Checkup vs full service: farak samajhiye

The most common confusion about the checkup is thinking it replaces a service. It does not. A checkup inspects; a service replaces and renews. The table below puts the difference in one place, so you can choose the right visit.

If your car is due for a service by kilometres or months, book the service — the checkup is already inside the Basic package, so you get both in one visit. If the service is not due but something feels off, or a trip is coming, book the checkup on its own. And if the checkup finds work, the service packages are the natural next step, because the oil, filters and brakes are usually where the findings point. Our Basic vs Standard vs Premium guide explains how to pick a package by car and kilometres, and our service schedule guide explains the intervals by kilometres for Indian cars.

Service plans and starting prices

These are starting prices from our online booking catalog. Your exact car, fuel and variant decide the listed price, which you see in the booking form before you confirm. Nothing is paid online.

For example, the listed Basic Service price is Swift petrol ₹2,099, Creta petrol ₹2,499, Nexon petrol ₹2,179, Wagon R CNG ₹2,249. Spare parts are billed at actuals. Anything outside a package is inspection ke baad quote: we check the car, explain the problem and the estimate, and start only after you say yes.

What the service packages include

• Basic Service (about 1 hour): engine oil and oil filter change, air and AC filter cleaning, a 25-point general check-up, and top-up of brake oil, coolant and battery water.
• Standard Service: semi-synthetic engine oil, oil and air filter, spark plug / glow plug check, brake cleaning, exterior wash, interior vacuum and polish.
• Premium Service: synthetic oil, all filters, spark plugs, car scanning, AC check-up, wheel alignment and balancing, wash and polish.

Your owner's manual decides the interval; we follow it. EV cars are serviced too — ask for the current scope when you call, since EV work and prices depend on the model.
