What we check during an inspection

Now that you know what a pre-purchase inspection is (a complete review of a used car before purchase). Here’s what we do during the inspection: Our technicians check important areas of the vehicle, including the engine, brakes, tires, suspension, steering, battery, fluids, belts, hoses, and signs of leaks/damage.

We also check for concerns that could affect safety, comfort, or future repairs. We may also evaluate warning lights, scan for diagnostic trouble codes, inspect the undercarriage, and look for signs of any collision damage or poor-quality repair work.

This service is not the same as routine maintenance. Regular oil changes and other maintenance services are important after you own a car, but a pre-purchase inspection can help you find any existing issues before the vehicle becomes yours.
