No, you should not buy a used car without a pre-purchase inspection. This inspection is crucial to ensure that you do not buy a lemon. Unfortunately, lemon laws can be restrictive, which means you may end up unable to claim the vehicle under the lemon law if it does not qualify. Avoid this headache by bringing the vehicle to our shop for a pre-purchase inspection. The following should be checked.

Damage Inspection

The used car should undergo a damage inspection to determine whether it has been in an automobile accident. You cannot rely on accident report services. Some people repair their vehicles at their own expense to avoid notifying their insurance companies that they have been in accidents. Consequently, the vehicle must be inspected for signs of auto body work.

Another thing that can damage an automobile is fire, and the used car should be inspected for fire damage. In addition to inspecting the vehicle for fire damage, we also inspect the common causes of automobile fires. For example, we will check the electrical system thoroughly to make sure there are no frayed wires. We will also test the system to make sure it is not overloaded.

Finally, a vehicle can also be damaged by flood. This, too, can go unreported. Consequently, you may end up with an automobile that has mold and mildew growth from excess moisture that cannot be seen. If you are sensitive to the mold or mildew, driving the vehicle may make you sick. We will check the used automobile that you would like to purchase thoroughly to make sure there is no previous damage.

Vehicle Inspection

The vehicle also needs to be inspected by a professional mechanic to make sure everything is a-okay. This includes checking things like the engine, the tires, the brake system, and the cooling system. We want to make sure that the used automobile operates like a new automobile. You do not want to buy a used car that has a ton of old parts that need to be replaced.

Diagnostic Inspection

Finally, running a diagnostic test can confirm that the vehicle is in excellent condition. It can also report mechanical problems that would otherwise go unnoticed. We can download data from the engine control module to make sure that there are no reported errors in any of the systems.
