Important inspection limitations

A pre-purchase inspection is a visual and operational assessment performed at a specific point in time. It is not a warranty, guarantee, certification, or prediction of future reliability. Conditions may be concealed, intermittent, inaccessible, or develop after the inspection.

Road tests are performed only when the vehicle is safe, legal, insured, accessible, and authorized by the seller or dealership.

Diagnostic results depend on vehicle compatibility, available electronic systems, and successful communication with accessible modules.

Underbody observations are limited to components safely visible from ground-level access unless a lift inspection is specifically arranged.

Repair-cost ranges are non-binding planning and negotiation estimates. Actual diagnosis, repair needs, parts costs, and labor rates may vary.

We inspect. You decide.

FAQ

Common questions.

What if the seller is unavailable?
Please confirm the vehicle, keys, location, and inspection permission before booking. If our inspector arrives and cannot access the vehicle, we wait up to 30 minutes. There is no cash refund after arrival, but your payment can be applied to one rescheduled inspection of the same vehicle within 14 days, subject to availability. Read our full Cancellation & Refund Policy.
How fast is the report?
Reports are delivered within 4 hours after the inspection is completed. You'll get an email the moment it's ready.
What if my area isn't covered?
Leave your ZIP and email — you won't be charged anything, and we'll notify you when coverage opens, typically within a few weeks in growing markets.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Appointments are prepaid and generally non-refundable. Cancel at least 12 hours before your appointment and you may reschedule one time at no additional charge, subject to availability. Within 12 hours, the payment is non-refundable and a complimentary reschedule may not be available. See the Cancellation & Refund Policy.
How does the $39 rush fee work?
The $39 rush fee covers expedited scheduling and is subject to availability. If we can't provide the accepted expedited service, we refund the $39. If expedited service is prevented by the seller, vehicle access, or unsafe conditions, the rush fee isn't automatically refundable. See the Cancellation & Refund Policy.
