Signs to look for

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re buying from a private seller
  • You’re buying from a small dealer with no warranty
  • The car has no service records
  • The price seems too good to be true
  • You’re buying out of town
  • You want to negotiate with facts
How we handle it

Inspect, show, then fix.

A pre purchase inspection puts your car on a lift with a technician who isn’t selling it. We check the brakes, suspension, engine, fluids, leaks, rust, tires and computer codes, and take photos of what we find.

You’ll get an honest summary in plain words: what’s fine, what needs attention soon, and what’s a deal breaker. That helps you walk away from a bad car or negotiate a better price on a good one.

Call ahead and we’ll tell you how soon we can fit it in.
