What Is a Pre-Purchase Inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection is a professional evaluation of a vehicle’s condition before you buy it. We inspect mechanical systems, safety components, and any signs of damage, wear, or hidden issues that could cost you later.


Our Inspection Includes:

  • Engine & Transmission Check
    We inspect for leaks, noises, performance issues, and wear in the powertrain.
  • Brake System Analysis
    Pads, rotors, lines, and functionality are all tested for safety and performance.
  • Suspension & Steering Evaluation
    We check for smooth handling, worn parts, and alignment concerns.
  • Fluid Levels & Condition
    Inspection of oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid.
  • Electrical Systems & Battery
    Test of the starter, alternator, lights, dashboard functions, and battery health.
  • Tires, Wheels & Undercarriage
    Tread depth, tire condition, wheel alignment, frame damage, and rust inspection.
