How a Pre-Purchase Inspection Works
What we check, the scan, the road test, and what happens on the day, including what to do if the car gets moved before we arrive.

Your booked time starts a two hour arrival window. If we will miss it, we tell you before it closes, and you can reschedule or cancel for free. Read the terms. The narration is computer generated.
What a Pre-Check Covers
These photos are from a real pre-purchase inspection on an Infiniti FX35 in Riverside, plus a code scan from a Jeep Wrangler. The same walkaround happens before every repair we take on.
Documented as It Sits
A pre-check protects both of us. You get an honest record of your vehicle's condition before work begins, and a mechanic who actually looked at the whole car, not just the part that's making noise.
- Photos of the vehicle before any work starts
- Existing damage noted up front, no surprises at pickup
- Warning lights and mileage on record
- Related problems get caught early, while the repair is cheap
Buying a Used Car?
The same process works before you hand over your money. We inspect the car at the seller's driveway, a dealer lot, or anywhere in Riverside County, and tell you exactly what you'd be buying. We've checked everything from daily-driver Tacomas to a Mercedes-AMG on a dealer lot.
