Preventing A Bad Vehicle Purchase
While no one wants to think that being scammed or paying over price value could happen to them, it’s an unfortunate reality that can be quite common. Whether you are getting your vehicle from a dealer or a private owner, knowledge is always power when it comes to vehicle sales. The more you are aware about the condition and value of your vehicle, the more comfortable you can be with your money and purchase decisions. At our auto shop, we make it easy and convenient for you to come to that decision. Let our mechanics take a look and give you an unbiased, professional 3rd party opinion before you bite the bullet on your vehicle purchase.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
While the seller of the vehicle may not be intentionally trying to scam you, having a pre-purchase inspection can help you to negotiate an appropriate price based on the vehicle’s current condition. We do our due diligence in making sure that you are getting your money’s worth out of your vehicle. Our expert technicians take a look at the exterior, examining the overall look and condition of the car’s exterior. They check under the vehicle, taking note of any leaks, rust and quality of the brake and exhaust system. Then they check the engine, paying close attention to the fluid levels, belt conditions and overall performance. Lastly, they perform a check of the interior conditions, look at the heating and air, and do a test drive to see how it handles or note any warning issues. Should a warning pop up, they will do a computer scan that provides a list of codes/recommendations that a car may need.
No matter how great a vehicle may seem on a dealer’s lot, a pre-purchase inspection is worth every penny in the long run. Peace of mind and confidence with your purchase is always a great feeling.
