Free Car Inspection in Auburn, WA

Road Trip Ready Thursdays at Valley GMC Quick Lube
Road Trip Ready is a complimentary drive-through visual vehicle check offered at Valley Quick Lube & Tire Center in Auburn on the last Thursday of each month. No appointment is required, and you remain in your vehicle.
What We Inspect – Fast & Free
Our road trip safety checklist keeps Washington drivers confident on every adventure:
- Tire tread depth & pressure
- Headlights, taillights & signals
- Windshield wiper condition
- Engine filter – visual check
- Battery terminals (corrosion)
- Fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, washer fluid
We’ll top off applicable fluids and get you back on the road in minutes. You never have to leave your car.
This is a visual maintenance check, not a full mechanical diagnosis. If our team notices something that may require closer inspection, we will explain the concern and help you determine the appropriate next step.
