Why would I need a pre-purchase inspection?
Purchasing a vehicle is a big investment, in both time and money. The last thing you need is purchase a car, truck or SUV that is a pile of junk. Some issues that vehicles have aren’t as easy to spot as other.
A vehicle inspection allows you to be understand what you are purchasing. It also gives you a better position to negotiate from.
Inspections can be preformed with you present or we can preform the inspection where the vehicle is and send you a full report.
Remotely performed inspections will include a minimum of 20 images, and a video of the vehicle running. Additional problems will be further documented.
