What we do
Pre-Purchase Car Inspection, at your door
With a mobile pre-purchase inspection, Frank goes to the car, whether it is at a private seller’s home or on a dealership lot. He checks it over top to bottom, including underneath, scans it for fault codes, and sends you photos with a plain verdict. A used car inspection costs far less than buying someone else’s problem.
