Buying a used car shouldn’t feel like a gamble, but too often it does. A clean interior and a smooth test drive don’t tell you what’s going on underneath. That’s where a pre‑purchase inspection actually matters. We perform on‑site vehicle inspections before you buy, so you know what you’re walking into before money changes hands. No rushed looks. No dealership pressure. Just a clear picture of the vehicle’s condition.

Why a Test Drive Isn’t Enough

Most serious problems don’t show up during a short drive around the block. They hide in places buyers don’t see until weeks later.

A pre‑purchase inspection helps uncover:

• Brake and suspension wear
• Engine leaks or warning signs
• Cooling system problems
• Electrical and sensor issues
• Transmission concerns
• Accident or neglect indicators

Spending a little upfront can save you thousands after the purchase.

What We Inspect

Our inspections focus on the parts of the vehicle that matter most long‑term. We’re not judging cup holders—we’re checking components that affect safety, reliability, and repair costs.

A typical inspection includes:

• Engine operation and visible leaks
• Brake condition and wear patterns
• Suspension and steering components
• Tires and uneven wear issues
• Battery and charging system check
• Warning lights and fault codes
• Fluid levels and condition

If something raises concern, we document it and explain why it matters.

On‑Site Inspections Where the Car Is Located

We come to the seller’s location—private seller, dealership lot, workplace, or driveway. You don’t need the seller to take the car anywhere or “prep” it beforehand. Seeing the vehicle where it normally sits often reveals issues that disappear after a quick cleanup.

Honest Feedback, Not Sales Pressure

We don’t sell cars and we don’t benefit from whether you buy or walk away. That makes the inspection unbiased. Sometimes the car checks out and you can move forward confidently. Other times, we’ll tell you straight if it’s not worth the asking price—or not worth buying at all. That honesty is the entire point of the service.

Use the Inspection to Negotiate—or Walk Away

An inspection report isn’t just information—it’s leverage. If issues are found, you can renegotiate the price, ask for repairs, or decide to keep shopping. Even when buyers still choose to move forward, they do it with clear expectations instead of surprises.

Ideal for Private Sales and Used Vehicles

Pre‑purchase inspections are especially valuable for:

• Private party vehicle sales
• High‑mileage used cars
• Older vehicles without service records
• Out‑of‑warranty purchases

If you’re spending real money, it’s worth knowing what you’re buying.
