Today was the 1st time i went to the dealership for my oil change and car inspection, on a receipt they put that they did oil & filter change, checked wheel alignment and did 21-point inspection. I was in a hurry for work so i left the second they told me my car was ready, yet im curious what is 21-point inspection, what do they check, ive never done it before, or at least i dont know about it.
