Pre-Purchase Car Inspection That Comes to the Car
📞 (217) 305-9730Pre-Purchase Car Inspection
Buying a used car, SUV or van is one of the biggest purchases most people make, and the listing photos only tell part of the story. A pre-purchase inspection puts an experienced, independent set of eyes on the vehicle before you commit.
We come to the vehicle, whether it's at a private seller's driveway, a dealership lot or your apartment, and go through it methodically: exterior and interior condition, underbody, engine bay, tires and brakes, A/C, leaks, a diagnostic scan and a test drive. You get a written report with photos and a clear recommendation.
