Pre-purchase inspections can uncover hidden damage in used cars that might otherwise go unnoticed. You may not know if the vehicle has been involved in an accident before you buy it from a private seller. Bring your used car to us to have it inspected thoroughly for any accident damage.
In addition, we hate to say it but not all dealers are completely honest, either. This is why it is so important to have a pre-purchase inspection done on any used car that you wish to buy to make sure you are not purchasing a lemon. Have the inspection done even if the used car is certified.
We Will Find Fire Damage
Pre-purchase inspections can also detect fire damage. When inspecting a used vehicle that you are interested in buying, we do more than look for visible signs of damage. We also inspect the vehicle thoroughly to determine if it has previously caught on fire and the fire damage has been repaired. Additionally, to ensure that there is no fire danger, we also thoroughly inspect the electrical system.
What about flood damage?
The vehicle could have suffered damage from flooding or water damage if it did catch on fire. We will examine the vehicle closely to determine if there are any signs of flooding that may have caused it to be damaged. Again, the damage may have been repaired previously in the incident not reported to an insurance company because the previous owner did not want the increase in his or her premiums.
Inspection of the Systems
Pre-purchase inspections include everything from the roof to tires. We will ensure that all systems work properly. We will also inspect the components and accessories for any problems. We will check the tires for uneven wear and make sure that the brake system is working properly. We want to ensure that your used car isn’t a lemon.
Inspection of the Engine
This includes checking the engine for wear. We will also inspect the fluids, filters, and belts to ensure everything is in good condition. We will notify you if we find engine damage so that you can purchase another used car. Do not buy an automobile with any damage.
We will then run a diagnostic test in order to extract any error codes sent to the engine control unit. Contact us today to arrange a pre-purchase inspection of the automobile you are interested in purchasing. We will inspect the vehicle carefully.
