Mobile Pre-Purchase Inspection in Charlotte, NC
Buying a used car is a big decision, and a listing photo won't tell you if the frame's been repaired or the transmission is slipping. We meet you at the seller's location, inspect the vehicle top to bottom, and give you an honest report so you can negotiate — or walk away — with confidence.
When a pre-purchase inspection pays off
- You're buying from a private seller or out-of-town dealer
- The price seems too good to be true
- There's no recent service history
- You want leverage to negotiate the price
- You're shipping the car or buying sight-unseen
- You just want an expert opinion before you commit
What the inspection covers
- Full OBD-II scan for stored and pending fault codes
- Engine, transmission, and fluid condition check
- Brakes, suspension, steering, and tire wear assessment
- Frame, body, and evidence of prior accident or rust
- Road test for drivability, noises, and shifting
- A clear written report with photos and a recommendation
