McKenna provided us with a copy of the booklet, and we were impressed. We may even use copies of it for personal car buying in the future. Every control, every light, every function is ascertained to be fully operational, the appearance of every part of the car is considered. A complete indication of any paint or body damage is made and procedures for restoration provided. The car is driven and put on a lift.
Every fluid is checked and changed or topped up.
The checklist has a line for everything, with liberal space for comments. The condition of many mechanical items is recorded all on one page. The standards for acceptable brake pad and tire wear are particularly demanding, and we expect those items will both have been renewed on most vehicles. If any item on the checklist is not satisfactory, the problem is corrected. When this is done, the car must be a peach.
