Pre-Purchase Inspection

Service Description

Comprehensive vehicle examination before you buy, ensuring your potential purchase is roadworthy and worth the investment. Our experts use advanced tools and their extensive experience to give you peace of mind. When purchasing a car, it's crucial to ensure you're getting a quality vehicle that matches its description. Our pre-purchase inspection service is designed to save you time and money by identifying potential issues before you commit to seeing the car in person. We travel to the vehicle's location to conduct a thorough, professional evaluation. Our process includes: Paint and Body Inspection: Using a paint depth gauge, we can detect prior bodywork, hidden damage, or repainting that might not show up on history reports like Carfax. We carefully inspect for paint lines, overspray, or mismatched finishes. History Report Review: We analyze Carfax and other reports to check for accidents, title issues, or undisclosed repairs. Advanced Diagnostics: With professional scan tools, we scan for hidden trouble codes, verify emissions readiness monitors, and ensure the vehicle’s systems are functioning as expected. Mechanical and Visual Checks: We look for wear and tear, leaks, and other signs of poor maintenance or concealed damage. This meticulous approach allows us to uncover issues that the average buyer might miss, helping you make an informed decision before traveling to or purchasing the car.
