Independent Inspections Before You Buy

A used car can hide expensive problems behind a clean detail job. Our pre-purchase inspection sends an experienced, independent mechanic to wherever the car is, whether that’s a private seller’s driveway or a dealer lot anywhere in Orlando. We examine the vehicle inside and out, scan for hidden trouble codes, and tell you plainly what we find so you can negotiate or walk away with confidence.

What we examine

A Thorough, Independent Look

Engine & fluids

We check for leaks, fluid condition, belts, hoses, and signs of past overheating or neglect.

Brakes & suspension

Pads, rotors, shocks, steering, and tires, so you know what you may need to spend soon.

Electronics & diagnostics

We scan the computer for stored and pending trouble codes that a test drive won’t reveal.

Body & frame

We look for signs of prior accidents, rust, mismatched panels, and poor repairs.

FAQ

Inspection Questions

How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?

Most inspections take about 60 to 90 minutes, including a diagnostic scan and a test drive. We then summarize the findings for you.

Can you inspect a car at a dealership?

Yes. We can inspect vehicles at private sellers, dealerships, and most lots, as long as the seller agrees to let an independent mechanic look at the car.

What do I receive after the inspection?

You receive a plain-English summary of the car’s condition, photos of any concerns, and an honest recommendation on whether it’s a smart buy.

Is an inspection really worth it?

For the cost of a small fee, an inspection can reveal thousands of dollars in hidden problems or give you leverage to negotiate a better price. It pays for itself.
