Why thorough inspections matter
A vehicle can look great on the outside and still have serious issues hiding beneath. Hidden leaks, frame damage, worn timing components or failing transmissions can turn a bargain into a burden. A professional inspection reveals these problems and helps you negotiate or walk away. For current owners, inspections catch wear before it turns into breakdowns, saving money and keeping you and your passengers safe.

FAQ
What is included in a pre‑purchase inspection?
We inspect all major systems—engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, cooling, heating and A/C, electrical and body/frame. We scan for codes, test drive, check service history and look for signs of neglect or damage.
Do you test drive the vehicle?
Yes. A road test helps us feel for drivetrain issues, drivability problems and noises you might not notice on a short lot drive.
Can you perform an inspection at the seller’s location?
We prefer to inspect vehicles at our shop where we have lifts and diagnostic equipment, but call us to discuss off‑site options for private sales.
How long does an inspection take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours. We provide a detailed report and discuss the findings with you the same day.
What if I decide to fix the issues with you?
We apply your inspection fee toward the cost of repairs performed within 30 days. You’ll save on diagnostics and have a clear repair plan.
Do you provide a written report?
Yes. We provide a digital report with photos and videos, plus a written summary of findings and estimates.
How soon can you get me in?
