Automotive Inspections - Before You Buy Inspection Services

Professional Automotive Inspections

From everyday drivers to collectible classics, let us put our experience in the insurance and auto industry to work for you

What is a pre-purchase automotive inspection?

A pre-purchase automotive inspection gives you the details about the vehicle that you won't necessarily get from an online report or the seller. Before You Buy Inspection Services is here to help you make an educated decision on your automotive purchases.

Has it been wrecked? Is there frame damage? Previous paint work? How are the tires? What computer codes are hiding? Does everything work? These are just some of the questions you will get answers to.

Call Before You Buy Inspection Services today to schedule an inspection for your safety and the safety of those you love.

A little fox told me it was fine.....

A CARFAX report (see Carfax.com for details) will only tell you what has been reported to them by the insurance companies and other agencies that choose to report to Carfax. It's a great resource, but it doesn't tell you everything.

For example, if someone's car flooded and they "fixed" it themselves, you'd never know that unless they disclosed the information or you had it professionally inspected.

Before You Buy has been trained on how to spot if a vehicle has been wrecked and repaired or flooded. Let our team assist you.
