Why should you get a Multi-Point Check?

We perform our exclusive Transmission Multi-Point Check service on every car before we do any repair so we can properly diagnose the problem you are having. At AAMCO Columbus, OH, we review your vehicle externally by placing it on a lift to assess the controls under the vehicle for any problems. We also check your vehicle internally with our advanced diagnostics equipment in order to analyze your vehicle’s computer system’s electronic components. We also evaluate your car’s performance with a road test to experience any problems you may be having first-hand.
