Reviewing your past inspections really discourages me from buying a used car but that’s all I can afford. Are you able to determine how much it might cost to repair a mechanical issue so I can decide if it’s worth buying and fixing?
Hello, Tobbie! Yes, we can provide estimates, but used cars will always have some issues, and that doesn’t mean you need to fix every single one right away just to bring the car back to ‘like new’ condition. That’s why, when we flag problems in our reports, we sometimes note that the repair isn’t needed right now. We then summarize the main concerns at the top of the report for quick reference.

I am interested in purchasing a car in Athens, Tx. Is that in your normal service area? This car is a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Do you check older cars for rust or possible rust repairs?

We thoroughly inspect vehicles for rust damage and evaluate how any previous repairs were done.

Which minivans have you found to be the most reliable used and have minimal issues as they age with proper maintenance?
Hello, Alecia! Toyota Sienna is the best by far, regardless of its age. Its main competitor — the Honda Odyssey — has higher maintenance costs (due to the timing belt) and sometimes, especially on older models, transmission issues.

Do you lift the vehicle to inspect the bottom and do you test drive?
Hello, Joey! Yes, we always do a test drive (if the car is safe and has a license plate, of course). If the seller has a lift, we can use it. But usually we can inspect a car without it, just by kneeling and looking under it, or using mirrors or cameras.

What if the dealer sells the car before you arrive to do the inspection?
Hello, Mark Keeton! In this case, you get a full refund.
