Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions. Clear Answers.
Everything you need to know before scheduling your inspection.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
Starter inspections generally take 45–60 minutes, Advanced inspections take 90–120 minutes, and Professional inspections take approximately 120–180 minutes. Vehicle condition and accessibility can affect the final inspection time.
Can you inspect a vehicle at a dealership?
Yes. We can inspect vehicles at dealerships, private residences, workplaces, and other approved locations. The seller or dealership must authorize access to the vehicle.
Do I need to be present?
No. Many customers are not present. We can coordinate directly with the seller and provide your digital report and consultation after the inspection.
Will you tell me whether I should buy the vehicle?
We provide a clear professional recommendation based on the vehicle’s observed condition, safety concerns, repair needs, and likely ownership costs. The final purchasing decision remains yours.
Do you negotiate the vehicle price?
We do not negotiate directly with the seller. Professional inspections include repair-cost information and negotiation points that you can use during the purchase process.
Do you road test every vehicle?
A road test is included when the vehicle is registered, insured, safe to operate, and the seller permits it. If a road test cannot legally or safely be performed, that limitation will be documented.
Can you inspect hybrid or electric vehicles?
We can perform general inspections and observations on many hybrid and electric vehicles. Some high-voltage battery and manufacturer-specific tests may require specialized dealership equipment.
Can you inspect classic or modified vehicles?
Yes, but classic, heavily modified, exotic, commercial, or specialty vehicles may require additional time or a customized inspection scope.
When will I receive my report?
Reports are normally delivered within 24 hours of the completed inspection. We prioritize clear documentation rather than rushing an incomplete report.
