What We Often Find During Pre-Purchase Inspections
During our inspections, we frequently discover issues that aren’t visible at first glance:
Engine Problems
Oil leaks, worn components, and signs of poor maintenance can lead to costly repairs down the road.
Transmission Issues
Fluid leaks, slipping gears, and delayed shifting are common problems we catch early.
Brake Wear
Worn brake pads, warped rotors, or low fluid levels can affect braking performance and safety.
Electrical System Malfunctions
Faulty wiring, failing sensors, and battery problems can cause drivability issues and warning lights.
Suspension Wear
Shocks, struts, and other components can wear out, affecting ride comfort and handling.
Tire Wear
Uneven tread or poor tire condition can indicate alignment issues or neglect.
With our comprehensive inspections, you’ll know about these issues before making your purchase, saving you time, money, and headaches.
Key Components We Inspect Before You Buy a Vehicle
We provide a comprehensive inspection that covers all major components of the vehicle. Here’s what we check:
Engine and Transmission Checks
We inspect the engine and transmission for leaks, unusual noises, and performance issues that could lead to costly repairs later.
Brake System Evaluation
From brake pads to rotors and fluid levels, we ensure the braking system is safe and responsive.
Suspension and Steering Analysis
We assess shocks, struts, and other suspension components to make sure your ride is smooth and stable.
Electrical System Diagnostics
Our team checks the battery, alternator, starter, and other electrical components to ensure everything functions correctly.
Tire Inspection
We evaluate the condition of the tires, including tread depth and wear patterns, to help you avoid unexpected replacements.
Fluid Level Checks
We verify that all critical fluids—oil, coolant, brake fluid, and more—are at proper levels and free of contaminants.
Structural and Visual Inspection
We inspect the vehicle’s body and frame for signs of rust, previous repairs, or structural damage.
