Here are a few things people often overlook when buying used vehicles:

• Hidden engine issues that don’t show up at first
• Brake wear or suspension knocks after a short test drive
• Transmission hesitation
• Fluid leaks that get worse with time
• Electrical gremlins like intermittent lighting or sensor errors

Would you notice these just by driving the car around the block? Maybe not. But we will. That’s why our inspection goes beyond the visible stuff. It’s a deep look at the vehicle’s health, inside and out.

Our Full Inspection Includes:

1. Engine & Diagnostics

• Check for stored trouble codes
• Run performance tests
• Evaluate fluid levels and leaks

2. Brakes & Suspension

• Brake pad and rotor condition
• Steering and suspension checks
• Road test for handling and stability

3. Transmission & Drivetrain

• Shifts and engagement
• Fluid condition and leaks
• Power delivery performance

4. Electrical & Accessories

• Lights, battery, alternator
• Infotainment and safety systems
• Power components like windows and locks

5. Tires & Alignment

• Tread depth and wear rate
• Tire pressure and balance
• Alignment indicators

6. Road Test & Real‑World Evaluation
   We take the vehicle on the road near Downtown Buckeye and nearby areas like Verrado Community to see how it performs in everyday conditions.

When we’re done, you receive a clear, written inspection report with photos, findings, and recommendations — so you don’t just get results… you understand them.

Who Should Get a Pre‑Purchase Inspection?

You’ll benefit from an inspection if:

✔ You’re buying a used car from a private seller
✔ You found a “great price” online but haven’t seen the car in person
✔ The vehicle doesn’t come with a warranty
✔ The price is questionable and you want peace of mind
✔ It’s being sold “as‑is” and you must take it as‑is

Even if you think you know cars well, our detailed check can reveal things you wouldn’t expect.

What to Bring (and What We Need)

Before your appointment, try to bring:

• Any service history or maintenance records
• A vehicle history report (like Carfax if available)
• Seller contact info (so we can coordinate)

We’ll take care of the rest once the vehicle arrives at our shop near Buckeye Hills.

How Long Does an Inspection Take?

Most pre‑purchase inspections take about 1 to 3 hours depending on vehicle size and condition. Some simpler, basic checks can be done more quickly, but our thorough inspections take the time needed so nothing gets missed.

Cost? What You Can Expect

Inspection prices vary, but most detailed pre‑purchase checks fall into a range that reflects the depth of the service and expertise involved. High‑quality inspections are an investment you’ll appreciate if they prevent expensive repairs later.
