PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION IN WEST VALLEY CITY
Buying a used car and not sure what you're really getting? Bring it here before you sign anything. We put it on the lift, go through it bumper to bumper, and hand you the findings in writing. An hour with us has saved buyers thousands, either in repairs they dodged or dollars they negotiated off the price.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
WHEN AN INSPECTION IS WORTH IT
The seller won't let you take it to a shop. That's your answer right there. A seller with nothing to hide has no reason to refuse an independent inspection.
Private-party sale with no service records. No paperwork means you're taking the seller's word for everything. An hour on the lift replaces trust with facts.
Dealer car with a clean history report. History reports miss plenty. Worn brakes, seeping gaskets, and tired suspension don't show up on a title check.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SHOP
HOW A PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION WORKS
01
BRING IT BY, OR HAVE THE SELLER
You or the seller drops the car off. Most inspections take about an hour, and walk-ins are welcome.
02
LIFT, SCAN, TEST DRIVE
We check it underneath on the lift, scan the computer for stored codes, and drive it the way you would.
03
FINDINGS IN WRITING
You get a written rundown of what's good, what's worn, and roughly what the fixes involve. Then you negotiate with facts.
The inspection is a flat labor charge that varies a little by vehicle. Call us and we'll quote it for the exact car you're looking at, no surprises.
GOOD TO KNOW
PRE-PURCHASE QUESTIONS WE HEAR A LOT
IS A PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION REALLY WORTH THE MONEY?
Almost always. Buyers regularly use our written findings to negotiate hundreds or thousands off the price, or to walk away from a car that would have cost far more than that.
WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY CHECK?
Engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tires, fluids, leaks, and the underside on the lift, plus a computer scan and a test drive. If something's wrong, we'll show you.
WHAT IF THE SELLER WON'T BRING IT TO YOU?
Ask them why. If they still refuse, treat that as useful information. A legitimate seller usually says yes.
