Pre-purchase Vehicle Inspections

If you are purchasing a vehicle, we highly recommend you have a pre-purchase inspection done. Whether you are buying your car privately or from a used car dealer, it's worth the time and the money having this Inspection done. Because no matter how good it looks, there could be all sorts of expensive problems lurking in the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, or other areas of the vehicle. And you definitely don't want to discover them after you have already purchased the vehicle.

It really does pay to have a Pre-purchase Inspection done before you buy the car, and it is your best protection before purchasing a vehicle.
