Know More Before You Commit.
I bring the inspection to the car, so you can decide with better information.
Understand the Findings
Review inspection photos and a written report, then discuss the findings by phone.
Buy With Better Information
Use the findings to ask informed questions and decide your next steps.
What I Check — Bumper to Bumper

Panels, paint, glass, and signs of past accidents or rust.

Engine bay, belts, hoses, and anything leaking or worn.
Diagnostic Scan
Plug into the computer and pull stored and pending trouble codes.
Interior & Electronics

What’s Included in Every Visit

Visual assessment of the vehicle’s exterior and interior condition, including observable wear or damage.

A written summary of the inspection findings for your review.

Inspection scope depends on vehicle access, condition, seller permission, and safe conditions. Inspections cover observable conditions at the time of service and do not include disassembly. They cannot identify every hidden defect or guarantee future reliability.
What It Costs
Inspections run $250–$600. Here’s the math that matters: a hidden engine or transmission problem can cost you thousands of dollars after you buy. A few hundred up front is the cheapest insurance you’ll ever put on a car.
Where you land in that range comes down to two things:
- The car — a regular sedan or truck sits at the lower end. A BMW, European, or luxury vehicle takes more time, so it runs higher.
- The drive — close to Broward is lower. Longer trips to Miami-Dade or Palm Beach cost a little more for travel.
You get your exact price the moment you send the car and the location. No surprises.
How Payment Works
Payment is Cash App, Zelle, or cash. No cards.
What This Inspection Can Save You
A used car can hide problems that cost way more than it looks worth. Typical 2026 repair costs:
- Engine replacement$3,000–$7,000+
- Transmission replacement$2,500–$6,000
- Head gasket$1,000–$2,500
- Catalytic converter$900–$2,500
- BMW/European timing chain$1,800–$3,500
- Cooling system (water pump, thermostat)$900–$1,400
One problem caught before you buy usually costs more than the whole inspection. That’s the point of checking first.
Repair costs are typical 2026 U.S. ranges and vary by vehicle, parts, and shop.
What I Can and Can’t Tell You
What I can tell you
The car’s condition right now — what I can see, test, and pull from the computer, plus how it drives.
What I can’t
Guarantee the future or find problems sealed inside parts without taking them apart. No inspection catches everything. What you get is a clear, honest picture so you’re not buying blind.
