What to know

Before you request service

Inspect the car before the purchase decision

A pre-purchase inspection is designed to give a buyer independent information about the current condition of a used vehicle. It can reveal maintenance needs, wear items or signs that justify deeper diagnosis before money changes hands.

Share the exact vehicle before booking

Year, make, model, mileage and known concerns help the inspection shop prepare. If the vehicle is modified, imported, hybrid, electric or diesel, confirm that the provider is comfortable inspecting that vehicle type.

Use the findings to make a better buying decision

The goal is not a guarantee that nothing will fail. A strong inspection gives you a clearer picture of current condition, immediate repair priorities and items that may affect the purchase price or your decision to walk away.

FAQ

Common questions

What should a pre-purchase inspection include?

A useful inspection normally covers the vehicle’s visible mechanical condition, tires, brakes, suspension, fluids, warning lights and other accessible systems. Scope varies, so confirm what the shop includes before booking.

Should I inspect a used car even if it has a clean history report?

A history report and a mechanical inspection answer different questions. A clean history does not confirm the vehicle’s current mechanical condition.

Can the inspection be done before I commit to buying?

That is the purpose of a pre-purchase inspection. Arrange access with the seller and ask the inspection provider how the vehicle needs to be delivered or whether mobile inspection is available.
