Why inspect?

An inspection that pays for itself

The fee isn’t an extra expense. It’s a tool that adds value to your purchase, and most of my customers save more than the inspection costs.

I help you negotiate

I use what I find to help you negotiate the price, so the issues on the car work in your favor.

Skip the lemons

Avoid buying a problem car, and the headaches and costly repairs that come with it.

Real inspection stories

Story #1
$1,500saved with a $199 Basic Inspection
“A recent client was ready to pay $25,000. I found a few minor issues, used them to negotiate, and got the price down to $23,500. They said they never would have pushed for more than a few hundred off.”2021 Toyota Sienna XLE · $25,000 → $23,500, lower than the lowest listed price for any 4th-gen Sienna at the time.

Bonus: the van still had a Toyota Financial loan the buyers didn’t know about. I walked both sides through the payoff and title process so the deal closed cleanly and nobody got the short end of the stick.

I’ve been on both sides

I used to buy and sell cars, held a dealer license and ran a dealership. I know how the industry works, how titling works, what to avoid and the common scams.

Paint thickness check

I check the paint with a paint thickness gauge to spot hidden bodywork and repaints.
