A pre-purchase inspection covers what a listing cannot. We walk the actual car — body, undercarriage, fluids, electronics — and road test it when the seller allows. We have no stake in the sale, so you get a written summary you can use to negotiate the price or move on to the next car.
When you need it
Book before you buy a private-party or dealer used car — especially if you cannot take it to a shop, the price looks too good, or you are buying from photos and a VIN.
How this visit works
Share the listing, the VIN if you have it, and the meeting address. We inspect on site and send a clear summary. If the location does not allow safe, legal work, we let you know before the appointment.
