Pre-Purchase Inspection
|
 STOP!
Is that used car REALLY what you have been told it is?
PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION
Will tell the true story |
Are you buying a used car? Buying from a dealer, or private party? Is the price unusually low? Is the mileage or condition too good to be true? Can you spot hidden damage or defects? Has the odometer been tampered with? Has the car been badly damaged and repaired?
Every day, unsuspecting consumers are sold deceptively advertised automobiles. Altered mileage, hidden flood or accident damage, defective components, defective or missing safety equipment are just a few of the deceptions perpetrated every day. Hidden problems can cost hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars in otherwise unnecessary repair costs.
Before you buy - Know the whole truth!!!
Pre Purchase Inspection
Can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs and disclose hidden safety problems, alterations or tampering. Disclose false claims of prior ownership, and deceptive advertisements.

Inspect the following components for excessive wear, damage, leaks, etc. * Engine Transmission * Differential * Fluids & Lubricants * Brakes * Steering Components * Suspension Tires * Cooling System * Belts & Hoses * A/C System * Lights & Wiring * Interior * Glass Body Components Paint
You will receive a written report of vehicle condition including NADA value.
