Pre-purchase inspections

A pre-purchase inspection is a vital step in buying a used vehicle. A qualified mechanic looks the car over thoroughly to identify any existing or potential issues, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Why pre-purchase inspections matter

Uncover hidden issues: A PPI can find mechanical, electrical, and safety problems that aren't obvious during a test drive.
Negotiating power: If we find issues, you can use the report to negotiate the price or ask the seller to fix problems before you buy.
Peace of mind: You'll be making an informed decision instead of hoping for the best.

What to expect

Comprehensive inspection: We check the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, electrical system, and overall condition of the vehicle.
Diagnostic testing: We pull codes from the vehicle's computer and look at live data for anything the seller might not have mentioned.
Road test: We drive the vehicle to evaluate how it actually performs on the road.
Detailed report: You'll get a report with our findings and recommendations for repairs or next steps.

What to do after the inspection

Review the report: Go through the report carefully and ask us anything you're not sure about.
Negotiate or walk away: Significant issues can be used to negotiate a lower price, request repairs, or back out of the deal.
Plan for repairs: If you're moving forward, use the report to plan any repairs or maintenance.
