Budget Brakes Used Car Tips: Check The Interior

Budget Brakes' friendly technicians have another tip for purchasing a used car. Check for interior wear to see how often, and how hard, a used car was driven.

First, Budget Brakes recommends inspecting the interior of the car for any signs of leaks, particularly along windows, doors, and sunroofs. Spraying the car with a water hose can help avoid costly new seals.

Next, examine the brake pedal pad for signs that the pad has worn through to the metal underneath. Stop-and-go driving or heavy braking can age a car faster than cruising along at highway speeds.

Finally, take a look at the dashboard to find signs of tampering. Odometer readings can be reset by removing the instrument panel. Fingerprints or scratches inside the plastic cover and misaligned numbers are two common errors made by amateur mechanics.
We hope all of our customers are now aware of common used car problems. This is just another example of Budget Brakes' commitment to customer service.
