Frequently Asked Questions
Keeping up with regular oil changes is essential for the health and performance of your vehicle. Below are answers to common questions to help you understand why routine oil change and servicing matter, how often it’s needed, and what to expect during the process.
A typical comprehensive Pre-Purchase Inspection takes between 60 to 90 minutes. This allows us enough time to put the vehicle on a lift, perform a thorough visual inspection, test all functions, and conduct a test drive to assess performance and handling under real-world conditions.
While we are not forensic investigators, our technicians are highly trained to spot tell-tale signs of previous accident damage. This includes mismatched paint, misaligned body panels, welding marks on the frame, replaced VIN stickers on body parts, and evidence of filler under the paint. We include all these findings in your detailed report.
For the most thorough inspection, we strongly recommend bringing the vehicle to our well-equipped facility where we have full access to our hoists, advanced diagnostic tools, and lighting. However, we may offer mobile inspection services in certain local areas for a additional fee; please call to inquire.
This is exactly why you get an inspection! You have several options:
Negotiate: Use the detailed report to negotiate a lower price with the seller to account for the repair costs.
Walk Away: We may advise you to avoid the vehicle entirely if we discover severe frame damage, flood history, or prohibitively expensive repairs. This alone can save you thousands.
Plan: If you still love the car, you can proceed with the purchase with a full understanding of the upcoming maintenance and budget accordingly.
A state inspection is a minimum safety requirement to legally register your vehicle. Our Annual Safety Check is a comprehensive health diagnostic that goes far beyond the legal minimum.
