Our pre-purchase inspection includes a comprehensive mobile vehicle assessment covering all major systems, including the engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, and more. Each inspection features advanced on-board diagnostic scanning, a full battery health check, and paint thickness measurements to identify previous accident damage or past panel repairs.
Every inspection also includes an extensive road test to evaluate real-world performance, handling, and drivability. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed written report outlining all identified issues, a full diagnostics scan report, and a battery health report, along with 30 to 150 high-quality photos and videos documenting the current condition of the vehicle.
No — all pre-purchase inspections are conducted as a mobile service.

There’s no need to transport the car or interrupt the seller’s schedule, and buyers can receive a comprehensive assessment without added hassle. Our mobile service ensures a thorough, professional inspection wherever the vehicle is located.

Inspection reports are always delivered the same day, typically within an hour of the inspection being completed.
