What is a Pre-Purchase Inspection and Why do You Need One?

A pre-purchase inspection is a detailed evaluation performed by a qualified mechanic to determine the overall condition of a vehicle. pre-purchase inspections are highly recommended when you’re purchasing a used vehicle, especially if it comes without a warranty or has a salvage title.

Although Carfax reports inform you of the car’s history, they don’t inform you about the car’s current condition. Like, how much life is left on the hoses, belts, and other critical engine parts.

Pre-purchase inspections let you know if the car you’re buying is safe to drive, and they let you know if you’re making a financial risk. Pre-purchase checks are just small upfront price to help you save money and headaches down the road.

Used Car Inspection Service

Buying a used vehicle can be a great way to save money, but you need to be confident in what you’re getting. A short test drive and visual inspection is a good first step, but it simply isn’t enough to verify that the vehicle will be a smart financial decision, reliable, or in good condition.

Our multi-point pre-purchase car inspections are designed to accurately assess the condition of the vehicle, identifying potential safety issues or mechanical flaws that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. Our trained & certified service technicians will carefully inspect all of the vehicle’s major systems, including the following:

• Belts and hoses
• Fluids and filters
• Exhaust and emissions
• Lights
• Battery and electrical system
• Brakes and steering components
• Suspension and drivetrain
• Wheels and tires
• Body and frame

Additionally, our pre-purchase inspections include a detailed road test. This test drive allows our technicians to assess the health of the engine and the suspension as well as the transmission, clutch, and other important components. Finally, pre-purchase inspections will provide you with a full report detailing the status of the vehicle and any issues that were found.
