A comprehensive, independent pre-purchase inspection built to answer one question honestly: should you buy this vehicle? The same flat rate for cars, trucks, and diesels — no tiers, no upsells.
One flat rate
Every vehicle · everything on this page · no add-ons
Technical where it counts, translated into what it actually means for you as the buyer.
How the engine and transmission actually run — not just how they sound in a parking lot.
The quiet problems that turn into big bills — spotted before they're yours.
Whether it drives tight and straight, or hides worn parts and past impacts.
Brake pad and rotor condition, including remaining material where visible and measurable.
Tread, age, and damage — often a hidden four-figure surprise.
We physically get under the vehicle — where a history report can't go.
Panel work, overspray, and repairs a good detailer knows how to hide.
The features you're paying for — confirmed to actually work.
We scan supported vehicle modules for stored, pending, and module-specific diagnostic trouble codes available at the time of inspection.
Driven under real conditions — when the vehicle, seller, and conditions permit.
What's been reported — used as supporting evidence alongside the physical inspection.
A clear digital report, a Buy / Caution / Walk Away call, and a real conversation about it.
An inspection reflects the observable, testable condition of the vehicle at the time of inspection. Not every vehicle supports every diagnostic function, and not every component can be accessed. No inspection can guarantee the discovery of every hidden problem — but an independent expert on your side dramatically improves what you know before you buy.
Under the vehicle, into the engine bay, scan tool connected, and out on the road — not a walk-around with a clipboard.
Tell us the vehicle and where it is. You arrange access with the seller — we handle everything from there. Have one on the line? Call or text and we'll tell you the soonest we can get to it.
We travel to the car — private driveway or dealer lot. Full multi-point inspection, undercarriage and frame, OBD/full-system scan where supported, and a road test when conditions permit. Photos throughout.
A detailed report with photos of every finding, repair-cost context where we can estimate it, market/value context, and a clear Buy / Caution / Walk Away verdict — plus a call to walk you through it.
Weekday evening and Saturday appointments are available. Same-day appointments may be available depending on schedule and location.
You don't just get a checklist — you get a clear recommendation backed by photos and context.
A comprehensive multi-point inspection covering the engine and drivetrain, fluids and leaks, steering, suspension and brakes, tires, frame and undercarriage, body and collision evidence, interior, and electrical systems. It also includes an OBD/full-system diagnostic scan where the vehicle supports it, a road test when conditions permit, a Vehicle History Review, photos of findings, a detailed digital report, and a Buy / Caution / Walk Away verdict with a debrief call.
No. Many of our customers are buying from a distance or can't get away from work. You arrange access with the seller, we go to the vehicle, and we walk you through everything on a debrief call afterward.
A dealer can, but a reasonable seller usually won't — an independent inspection is a normal part of buying a used vehicle. If a seller flatly refuses to allow any inspection, that itself is useful information worth thinking hard about. We work with both private sellers and dealerships.
You get the full picture: what we found, photos of it, repair-cost context where we can reasonably estimate it, and a clear Buy / Caution / Walk Away recommendation. Sometimes that means negotiating a fair price with real leverage. Sometimes it means walking away from a bad one — which can be the most valuable outcome of all.
Plan for roughly 60–90 minutes on-site depending on the vehicle and access, plus the time to prepare your report. You'll typically have your digital report and debrief shortly after.
One inspection. One expert on your side. $199, everything included.
