As the back-to-school season approaches, there's a lot to consider. Whether your college student is hitting the road or your high schooler is driving to school, safety is always a top priority for parents. It's our priority too at Christian Brothers Automotive – Shawnee.

To help ensure their vehicles are ready, here are a few car care tips for heading off to school:

Courtesy Inspection:

Have a trusted automotive technician complete a complimentary inspection. This includes checking essential components like the battery, belts, hoses, fluids, and tire tread. At Christian Brothers Automotive – Shawnee, we provide this inspection at no charge and will text or email you a digital vehicle inspection, so you can see exactly what our technicians recommend and why.

Maintenance Education for Young Drivers:

Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive – Shawnee is dedicated to educating young drivers about necessary vehicle maintenance. Knowing when to perform maintenance can help avoid costly repairs in the future.

Pre-Purchase Inspection for Used Vehicles:

If you're considering buying a used vehicle for your son or daughter, we highly recommend a pre-purchase inspection. Our automotive technicians will thoroughly examine the vehicle for any potential issues before you make the purchase. If we find concerns, we'll document them and provide an estimate, which can be valuable for negotiation. In some cases, you might even decide to look for a different vehicle. While there is a fee for this service, it's a worthwhile investment to know the vehicle's condition before you buy.

We're here to help you keep your students safe on the road.
