Pre-Purchase Inspection Service in Honolulu, HI

Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection Matters

A used car may look great on the outside, but hidden issues under the hood could cost you thousands in repairs. Our pre-purchase inspection helps:

• Uncover potential mechanical, electrical, or safety concerns
• Identify previous accident damage or hidden wear and tear
• Ensure the vehicle is worth the asking price
• Give you bargaining power when negotiating

Before committing to a used car purchase, let our expert mechanics inspect the vehicle and provide a detailed report on its condition.

What’s Included in Our Pre-Purchase Inspection?

Our comprehensive pre-purchase inspections evaluate all critical aspects of the vehicle’s condition, including:

1. Engine & Transmission Check

We inspect the engine and transmission for leaks, wear, and performance issues to ensure smooth operation.

2. Brake System Inspection

Brakes are essential for safety. We check brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to confirm they are in good condition.

3. Suspension & Steering Assessment

A worn suspension can lead to rough rides and costly repairs. We evaluate shocks, struts, and steering components.

4. Electrical System Testing

From the battery to lights, sensors, and dashboard indicators, we verify the electrical system is functioning properly.

5. Fluid Condition & Leak Detection

We inspect engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and other essential fluids while checking for any leaks that may indicate underlying issues.

6. Tire & Wheel Examination

We assess tire wear, alignment, and wheel condition to ensure the vehicle handles properly and is safe to drive.

7. Frame & Undercarriage Inspection

Hidden rust, frame damage, or previous repairs can indicate past accidents. We thoroughly check the undercarriage for any structural concerns.

After our inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings, so you can make an informed decision before purchasing the vehicle.

Signs You Need a Pre-Purchase Inspection

Considering a used car? If any of these situations apply, a pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended:

• Private Seller Purchase: Ensure the car is in good condition before buying from an individual.
• High-Mileage Vehicles: Older cars or those with high mileage may have hidden wear and tear.
• No Maintenance Records: A lack of service history could mean undisclosed mechanical problems.
• Recent Repairs or Modifications: Verify that recent repairs or upgrades were done correctly and won’t cause future issues.
• Check Engine Light is On: The seller may not disclose why, but our diagnostics can reveal the issue.

Avoid buyer’s remorse—get a professional vehicle inspection before sealing the deal.
