Call us before you buy the used car that you have your eye on. Even if the car is dealer-certified, it is important to have an independent pre-purchase inspection to make sure the vehicle is everything it should be. You do not want to end up with a lemon when you drive off the lot. Here are some of the benefits you will reap with our pre-purchase vehicle inspection.
We Can Find Hidden Damage
A pre-purchase inspection allows us to find hidden damage that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. It is possible that the used car was in an accident that was never reported. If this is the case, the previous owner could have had the car repaired so it looked as if it has never been in an accident. We can assess the vehicle thoroughly to locate accident damage.
This Includes Fire and Flood Damage
We can also make sure that the used car has never been damaged by fire or a flood. This includes inspecting the electrical system thoroughly to make sure there are no scorched wires. Whether you are purchasing the vehicle from a dealer or a private seller, there is a chance that the person may not be completely honest with you with respect to the automobile’s history. As such, it’s important for us to do a complete damage check.
We Can Test All Vehicle Systems
It is also important that we test all of the vehicle systems to make sure they are working. For example, we will inspect the brake system thoroughly to make sure all of the parts are new and you aren’t in any danger when you drive the used vehicle. Checking all of the systems, components, and accessories ensures everything will operate as it should. We will also inspect the engine.
We Can Run a Diagnostic Test
Finally, we will run a diagnostic test to ensure there aren’t any hidden problems in the vehicle. Some problems do not reveal themselves by making strange noises or producing odd smells. As such, it is important that we download all of the data from the used car’s computer chip to make sure there are no error codes that have been left unaddressed.
Don’t take chances. Give us a call to schedule a pre-purchase inspection of the used car that you would like to buy. We will make sure that this automobile will give you years of safe and efficient service.
