ASE Master Technicians Vehicle Inspection

Buying a Used Car Without an Inspection Is a $3,400 Risk

Over 64% of used car buyers purchase sight-unseen or without an independent mechanic. Photos never reveal recently wiped trouble codes, concealed frame pull marks, or failing transmissions.

Cleared Check Engine Lights

$1,800+ Risk

Sellers wipe fault codes right before a test drive. We run deep OBD-II diagnostic scans to reveal pending catalytic converter and transmission codes.

Hidden Accident Resprays

-$3,500 Resale

Clean history reports miss unrecorded private accidents. Our digital paint thickness meter scans 8 exterior panels to uncover Bondo body filler and panel resprays.

Subframe Rust & Suspension

$2,200+ Repair

Fresh undercoating masks structural rust flaking and cracked bushings. Our technicians physically inspect undercarriage mounting points on-site.

Built for Buyers, Unbiased by Design

Most mobile mechanics make money doing the repairs they diagnose. We don't touch tools or sell parts — our sole duty is giving you unfiltered truth.

100% Unbiased Model

We accept zero referral fees or kickbacks from dealers, sellers, or body shops. We do not upsell repair work — our only client is you.

Salvage & Auction History

Uncover hidden damage history by checking salvage auction records, Copart/IAAI database entries, and flood exposure flags.

Mileage & Diagnostic Verification

Check for odometer rollbacks, deep ECU mileage discrepancies, and cleared Check Engine Light readiness monitors with live OBD-II scans.

Finance & Lien Check

Ensure the vehicle is free of outstanding title liens, bank loans, or repossession flags before you transfer purchase funds.

Everything You Need to Know

Transparent answers on how we inspect vehicles, coordinate with sellers, and protect your investment.

Once you submit your booking, our dispatch team contacts the seller or dealer directly within 2 hours. We handle all logistics: verifying vehicle availability, confirming address and gate codes, scheduling the time slot, and requesting that the vehicle engine is kept cold prior to our arrival for accurate cold-start testing.

Yes. Our Complete Diagnostic package checks OBD-II Mode $06 diagnostic readiness monitors. When a seller clears a trouble code with a cheap scanner right before a showing, the vehicle's internal readiness monitors reset to "Incomplete" and the distance traveled since reset shows near-zero. Our report highlights this immediately so you aren't blindsided by a CEL 20 miles after driving home.

If the vehicle is sold, unavailable, or the seller refuses inspection access before our inspector arrives on-site, you receive a full 100% refund immediately, or you can transfer the credit to another vehicle without any re-booking fees.
