Inspections

Why a pre-purchase inspection pays for itself

The cheapest hour you will ever spend on a used car is the hour before you buy it.

What we check

Frame and structure, evidence of collision repair, fluid condition and leaks, brakes, suspension, steering, tires, battery and charging, cooling system, exhaust, module scan for stored and pending codes, and a road test.

What you get

The Confident Buyer's Report: photographs of every finding, a plain-English explanation, and a clear recommendation on our scale — Haggle Time, Barn Dance, or Pull a Dukes of Hazzard.

The math

One deferred timing component or one leaking rear main seal found before you sign costs more than the inspection several times over. And a documented list of needed repairs is the strongest negotiating tool a buyer can walk in with.

Bone says: here's why

Why inspect a car you have not bought yet? Because after you sign, every problem is your problem.
