Why should I get a pre-purchase inspection?

It can reveal concerns that are not obvious during a short test drive and help you decide whether to buy, negotiate, or walk away.

Can you inspect a car at a seller’s location?

Often, yes. Confirm the location and the seller’s availability before scheduling.

Does an inspection guarantee the vehicle will not need repairs?

No inspection can predict every future issue, but it can identify visible and testable concerns at the time of the visit.

Should I still test drive the vehicle?

Yes. A test drive and an inspection work together to give you a better picture of the vehicle.
