How a Mobile Car Inspection Works
You’re smart, you know it’s better to have a certified mechanic do a car inspection before you buy that car. Arm yourself with knowledge and you can agree on a fair price! How it works: Visit or contact the seller of the vehicle. Tell him/her that you will purchase pending a mobile pre-purchase inspection. Pass us your contact details, the seller’s contact details and the location of the used car. We will schedule our pre-purchase inspection with with you and the seller. Before we begin the inspection, we need to take a credit card payment; this can be done over the phone or in person. After the inspection we give you the detailed pre-purchase inspection report and an estimate of any required repairs
