A Closer Look Before You Buy

Our inspection covers the major systems and components that can affect the condition, safety and value of a used vehicle.

Engine & Mechanical Condition

We inspect the engine and related mechanical components for signs of wear, leaks, unusual noises and other concerns.

Transmission

We check for unusual operation, noises, leaks and other signs that may indicate transmission problems.

Brakes

Brake components are inspected for wear, condition and potential safety concerns.

Suspension & Steering

We inspect suspension and steering components for looseness, wear, damage and other issues that can affect handling.

Tires & Wheels

Tire condition, tread, wear patterns and wheel condition are checked for potential concerns.

Electrical Systems

We check electrical systems, warning lights and other electronic concerns that may require further diagnosis.

Fluids & Leaks

Fluid levels and visible leaks are inspected to help identify potential maintenance or repair concerns.

Diagnostic Scan

Available vehicle systems can be scanned for diagnostic trouble codes and warning conditions that may not be obvious during a visual inspection.

Body & Structural Condition

We look for visible signs of previous damage, repairs, corrosion and other body or structural concerns.

Undercarriage

The underside of the vehicle is inspected for leaks, damage, corrosion and worn or damaged components.

Road Test

When appropriate, a road test helps evaluate vehicle operation, drivability, braking, steering, suspension and unusual noises.

Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Process

We take a systematic approach to help you understand the condition of the vehicle before making your purchase decision.

A Clean-Looking Vehicle Isn't Necessarily a Mechanically Sound Vehicle

A vehicle can look great on the outside while having mechanical, electrical or safety issues that are difficult to see during a quick walk-around.

Our inspection is designed to identify potential problems before you commit to purchasing the vehicle.

Finding an issue before the purchase can help you understand the vehicle's condition, negotiate repairs or price when appropriate, or decide whether the vehicle is right for you.

Things Worth Checking Before Purchasing a Used Vehicle
