What A Pre-Purchase Inspection Entails
Buying a used car can be risky if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Our mobile pre-purchase inspections are designed to give you the full picture of a vehicle’s condition — from the engine to the suspension to the smallest electrical component. We come to the car, inspect every critical system, and provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report so you can make a confident purchase.
Engine, Drivetrain & Transmission
We perform a thorough assessment of the engine, including fuel and ignition systems, belts, hoses, sensors, and overall performance. We also examine the transmission, drive shafts, and related components to detect leaks, wear, or mechanical issues. This ensures the vehicle runs smoothly, shifts properly, and avoids costly surprises down the road.
Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Your safety on the road depends on reliable brakes, suspension, and steering systems. We check brake pads, rotors, calipers, fluid, shocks, struts, tie rods, and steering mechanisms. By evaluating these systems, we can identify wear, alignment problems, or potential safety hazards before you commit to buying.
Electrical, Cooling & Battery
Modern vehicles rely heavily on electrical components and proper engine cooling. We test batteries, alternators, wiring, lights, and other electronics to ensure everything functions correctly. Additionally, we inspect radiators, hoses, and cooling fluids to prevent overheating and costly engine damage.
Exterior, Interior & Test Drive
A car’s appearance and how it drives can reveal hidden issues. We inspect the body, paint, frame integrity, doors, windows, and interior components for past damage, rust, or signs of accidents. We then take the vehicle on a controlled test drive to evaluate engine performance, braking, handling, steering, and overall road feel.
After the inspection, you receive a detailed report with our findings, and professional recommendations. This report gives you the knowledge and confidence to negotiate, walk away, or proceed with the purchase, knowing exactly what condition the vehicle is in.
Why You Need A Mobile Mechanics Before A Used Car Purchase
Unless a car is brand new, you can never truly trust you're aware of a vehicles complete history and condition. Yet, purchasing a vehicle second hand is a wise financial decision. Let us help you ensure there's no surprises after such a big and important investment, so you have confidence you're safe on the road and won't have any unnecessary surprises.
We Can Go To The Vehicle
No need to arrange towing or drive to a shop with a stranger’s car, and likely they won't let you! Instead, we come to the seller’s location, whether that's a used car lot, someone's driveway or a parking lot, allowing you a professional assessment on your schedule before putting any money down.
Unbiased Honesty
Our inspections are unbiased and thorough. Afterall, we're an outside party providing the assessment. You never have to doubt that we'll provide an honest evaluation of the vehicle’s condition so you know exactly what you’re buying, before you buy.
Prevent Potentially Costly Repairs
A thorough pre-purchase inspection can prevent costly repairs down the road. By catching problems early, you gain leverage to negotiate or avoid a bad investment entirely.
Professional Advice
Our mobile mechanics are licensed, experienced, and trained to spot even subtle issues that can be overlooked by an untrained eye. You’re not just getting a mechanic, you’re getting a knowledgeable advocate for your purchase.
