Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection
Riverside & Inland Empire

A licensed dealer inspection with a written report, done by an ASE-certified technician who is also a published researcher on vehicle maintenance. Hybrid and EV battery health checked -- not just the engine. The report is the product.

Most pre-purchase inspections are a walk-around by someone with a flashlight. This is a licensed dealer inspection with a written report -- bumper to bumper, road test, full diagnostic scan, and on hybrids and EVs, a measured battery health check. You get a document you can negotiate with, not a verbal opinion.

Hybrid & EV Battery Inspection

Looking at More Than One Car?

Most buyers are cross-shopping two or three vehicles. Instead of paying for separate visits, we come out once and inspect every car in the same trip -- so you get a direct comparison against one consistent standard.

"How many are you looking at? We'll come out once and do all of them."

No prices published here -- every quote is sized to the number of vehicles, powertrain, and location. Call and we'll work it out before you commit to anything.

Every inspection ends in a written report with severity coding, a defects table you can use to negotiate, and photographs -- not a verbal opinion in a parking lot. Ask for a redacted sample report when you call, or check back here soon -- one is being published from a recent job.
