Why inspect before you buy

Dont fall for a used car that looks great on the outside

We test what a test drive cant show you, so you know exactly what you are signing up for before you hand over a dime.

01

Comprehensive Check Engine Light Diagnostics

Before purchase, we perform a full diagnostic scan to detect cleared trouble codes that may have been erased to conceal existing issues. This includes checking the vehicle’s computer history for recently reset monitors, pending codes, and incomplete readiness tests that can signal someone cleared a check-engine light right before the sale. These hidden problems often go unnoticed during a standard test drive, so this step provides a transparent assessment of the vehicle’s true condition and helps you avoid surprise repair bills after the sale.

02

Tire wear irregularities indicative of underlying mechanical or alignment concerns.

Tire, brake, and suspension wear tells a story about how the vehicle was driven.

03

Fluid Condition and Appearance Assessment

We perform a thorough assessment of engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid to identify early indicators of deferred maintenance.

04

Verified Repair History

We identify rushed or incomplete repairs that could compromise your vehicle soon after purchase, including loose connections, overlooked wear components, and temporary fixes that only mask the underlying issue.

05

Unidentified Structural Issues Can Lead to Significantly Higher Repair Costs Over Time

Our comprehensive inspection includes a detailed examination beneath the paint surface to identify evidence of prior collision repairs and detect any concealed structural concerns.
