Is Your Vehicle Road-Ready? Why Spring is the Perfect Time for a $44 Inspection

As the snow melts and Edmonton roads begin to thaw, it's time to think beyond spring cleaning. Your home might get the attention it deserves this season, but what about your vehicle? After enduring harsh winter conditions, your car needs care, too. Salt, slush, potholes, and freezing temperatures all take a toll. That’s why GOOD NEWS AUTO, proudly owned by Chris Ferland, offers a $44 Spring Inspection—a seasonal essential designed to ensure your vehicle is ready for the warmer months ahead.

Now is the ideal moment to prepare for weekend road trips, longer drives, and a fresh start. While spring inspires new beginnings, it should also inspire proactive car care. With GOOD NEWS AUTO’s trusted services and affordable pricing, there’s no reason to wait.

Winter Leaves Its Mark

Edmonton winters are no joke. Freezing temperatures, icy roads, and thick salt buildup affect more than your vehicle’s exterior. They can silently damage your brakes, wear down your tires, crack suspension components, and cause fluid imbalances. When left unchecked, these issues grow into larger—and more expensive—problems.

Most drivers don’t notice the damage right away. That’s why a spring inspection is so crucial. It identifies the hidden wear that’s been building over the cold months. Instead of reacting to a breakdown later, you can address small issues now—quickly, affordably, and with confidence.

What Our $44 Inspection Covers

Our $44 Spring Inspection offers more than a simple once-over. It’s a comprehensive, multi-point check-up focused on the components most affected by seasonal wear and tear. We examine your brakes, tires, suspension, fluid levels, battery strength, belts, hoses, lights, and more. Every inspection is completed by licensed, experienced technicians who know what to look for.

We don’t just glance at your car—we assess it thoroughly. We look for uneven tire wear, brake pad thickness, fluid contamination, and signs of corrosion under the vehicle. We test systems, evaluate filters, and check alignment cues. With this inspection, we provide a full picture of your vehicle’s condition and readiness.

Better still, we take the time to explain everything we find. No jargon. No scare tactics. Just real information you can use to make informed decisions about your car.

Spring Is the Best Time to Act

Timing matters when it comes to vehicle maintenance. Spring offers the perfect window to inspect your vehicle before summer heat and long drives arrive. You’ve just come through some of the most demanding conditions your car will face all year. Taking action now allows you to recover from winter’s damage before it worsens.

Additionally, scheduling service in spring avoids the summer rush. As temperatures rise, more drivers hit the road—and more breakdowns happen. If you wait, you may end up in line behind dozens of others. But by acting early, you stay ahead of the crowd and enjoy smooth driving all season.

GOOD NEWS AUTO makes this easy with our fast and affordable $44 special. We designed this inspection for people who care about their vehicles but also care about their budget.

Prevention Beats Costly Repairs

Too often, drivers put off maintenance thinking they’re saving money. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. A minor issue like low brake fluid or an underinflated tire may seem harmless now. But left unchecked, these can lead to brake failure or a blown tire down the road.

The beauty of our spring inspection is that it catches these problems early. We don’t just list what's wrong—we help you prioritize what needs fixing first. This means you can plan your repairs, spread out the costs, and avoid emergencies.

Let’s say your suspension shows early signs of wear. You might not notice it while driving, but it affects tire health, steering, and fuel economy. Replacing a worn strut now prevents uneven tire wear and alignment issues later. That’s money saved in the long run.
