Common questions
- Will you meet me at the seller's house or a dealership?
- Yes — private sellers, dealer lots, Facebook Marketplace meetups. We work for you, not the seller.
- How long does the inspection take?
- Usually an hour to ninety minutes for a thorough look, including a test drive when the seller allows it.
- What do I actually get?
- A written report of what we found, photos of the problem areas, stored trouble codes, and a plain conversation about whether the price makes sense.
- Can you check the frame or put it on a lift?
- Not on a lift — that's a shop job. We do a thorough ground-level inspection with jack stands where it's safe, and we'll tell you if something needs a lift to confirm.
