A Vehicle Report Can't Tell if Your Air Bags Will Work
A used vehicle report can’t tell you if your used car’s air bags will work. That is why they recommend you have the car inspected by a certified air bag mechanic. (Source CARFAX website)
Airbag Service has been inspecting, servicing and installing air bag systems for over twenty years.
We have technicians across the country that can inspect your used car so you know the airbag and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components are installed and functioning as designed.
You Can’t Trust the Air Bag Light
The California Highway Alliance recently found that 1 of out every 25 previously damaged vehicles inspected had phony or dummy airbag systems.
It costs pennies to jump wire the air bag light and under $50 to have the airbag control module memory cleared. Air bags can cost over a thousand dollars.
Air bag fraud is a risk for any used car buyer.
