Pre-Purchase Inspection
A used European car is a great buy or a money pit, usually decided by what you don't see in the listing. We'll tell you which one it is.

- Full scan of every control module, including stored and history faults

- Brakes, tires, suspension and steering
- Evidence of accident repair or flood damage
- Service history and software status review
- Road test
- Written report with photos and estimated costs to address findings
Why use a specialist
General shops miss model-specific issues: the parts that fail on that engine at that mileage. We know what to look for, and we can price it accurately so you can negotiate or walk away.

Common questions
Can you inspect a car at a dealer?
The best inspection happens on our lift. Most sellers, including dealers, will allow a pre-purchase inspection if you ask.
How long does it take?
Plan on a couple of hours. We'll send the report and photos the same day whenever possible.
