Book an appointmentProfessional Mobile Service
A professional pre-purchase inspection can help you understand the condition of a used vehicle before money changes hands. The inspection includes major mechanical systems such as the engine, transmission, brakes, steering, and suspension, along with checks for fluid leaks, abnormal noises, corrosion, visible collision evidence, tires, and general condition. An electronic system scan is performed where appropriate. You receive a straightforward summary of significant findings, urgent concerns, and likely upcoming repairs to help you make a more informed purchase decision.

Mobile Auto Repair at Your Location
Service is performed at your home, workplace, or other suitable private property where the vehicle can be worked on safely. A flat, accessible work area is required. Repairs cannot be performed on public roads, and some parking lots or parkades may not be suitable for mobile repair work.
If a repair requires a vehicle hoist, alignment equipment, tire equipment, or other specialized shop equipment, we may recommend that the work be completed at a repair facility instead.

Can you inspect the vehicle at the seller's location?
Yes. The inspection can usually be completed at the seller's private property or another suitable location where permission has been provided and the vehicle can be inspected safely.
Do you scan the vehicle for trouble codes?
Yes, an electronic system scan is performed where applicable to identify stored, pending, or current diagnostic trouble codes and other available system information.
Can you tell if a vehicle has been in an accident?
Visible signs of body repair, paintwork, panel alignment issues, and structural concerns can be inspected, but a visual inspection cannot guarantee that every previous collision or repair will be identified.
Does a pre-purchase inspection replace a vehicle history report?
No. A mechanical inspection and a vehicle history report provide different information. Using both can give a more complete picture of a used vehicle.
