What to expect from pre-purchase vehicle inspection
Understand a used vehicle before committing to it. We inspect accessible systems and discuss observed concerns and likely repair needs.
A used-car condition review and an official Maryland safety inspection serve different purposes. Tell the advisor which you need and arrange the seller’s permission before booking.
Have these details ready
- Bring the vehicle information and seller permission for the inspection
- A condition review with findings to support your purchase decision
- Review the estimate and authorize the work before repairs begin.
Tell us the year, make, model, mileage, previous work and any deadline for getting the vehicle back. The advisor confirms the scope, findings and written estimate before additional work.
