Buying a used car? Have it looked at before you hand over the money. We check it over and tell you what's good, what's worn, and what to budget for.
What's
included.
Not sure what to look for? That's our job. We'll tell you plainly what we found and what it means for the price, so you can buy, walk away, or negotiate.
Every job starts with an upfront estimate, and we call before doing anything extra.

Call (XXX) XXX-XXXXHow do I get a used car inspected before I buy it?
Call or send a request to set a time, then you or the seller brings the car in. Early drop-off and the after-hours key drop work for inspections too. Afterward we'll go over what we found so you can decide or negotiate.
What's checked in a multi-point inspection?
Brakes, tires, suspension and steering, fluids and leaks, belts and hoses, battery and charging, lights, and anything that stands out. You'll get a clear list in order of priority.
Is an inspection worth it on a newer car?
Usually, yes. Even a newer used car can have hidden damage, leaks, or deferred maintenance. It's a small cost next to buying a problem.
Let's take a look.
Call, stop by, or send a request and we'll get back to you during shop hours by call, text, or email to set a time. Drop-offs are welcome; call ahead if you need it done the same day.
