Independent Expert Opinion

Our inspectors work for you, not the seller—giving you unbiased data to balance against sales pitches and online listings.

Uncover Hidden Issues

Sellers and dealers may not disclose or even be aware of mechanical issues. Auction vehicles often have limited inspection time. Our thorough inspection reveals potential problems before purchase.

Negotiation Leverage

Whether dealing with private sellers, dealerships, or car lots, our detailed inspection report gives you powerful negotiating leverage to secure a fair price based on actual condition.

Long-Distance Purchases

Don't risk traveling for a disappointing vehicle. Our nationwide network of inspectors can verify the vehicle's condition before you make the trip, saving time and travel costs.

Safety Assurance

Our 150+ point inspection includes critical safety checks of brakes, steering, and structural integrity to ensure you and your family stay safe on the road.

Specialty Vehicles

Classic cars, imports, and luxury vehicles require special expertise. Our specialists understand unique characteristics and common issues specific to these vehicles.
