What's Included
Each inspection follows our technician-developed workflow, covering the systems that matter most to safety, reliability, and resale value.
Body & Exterior Assessment
Inspectors examine exterior condition for dents, scratches, rust, and panel alignment. We verify door, hood, and trunk operation and look for signs of collision repairs or aftermarket modifications. Windshields and glass are reviewed for cracks or chips that could fail a safety inspection.
Lighting Systems
All headlamps, turn signals, brake lights, and hazards are tested for proper function. Light housings are checked for cracks, moisture intrusion, and electrical concerns.
Wheels & Tires
We inspect for uneven wear, sidewall damage, proper sizing, and adequate tread depth. Wheels are checked for cracks or corrosion, and the spare tire is verified.
Undercarriage & Exhaust
We review the undercarriage for rust, damage, or leaks. Exhaust components are checked for secure mounting, leaks, and emissions warning signs.
Engine Compartment
Technicians review oil level and condition, inspect the air filter, and listen for abnormal noises during idle. We note leaks, worn belts, or other indicators of neglected maintenance.
Fluid Levels
Coolant, brake, power steering, and windshield washer fluids are checked for proper levels and overall condition.
Dashboard & Controls
We confirm warning lights cycle correctly, gauges function, and all controls respond. Horn, climate controls, and infotainment basics are verified.
Interior Condition
Seats, carpets, headliner, and lighting are checked for wear, odors, or water damage indicators.
Driving Performance
A road test evaluates steering response, suspension feel, brake operation, transmission shifting, and stability under real-world conditions.
Confidence That Pays Off
The Standard Inspection is a smart safety net for buyers who want clarity without premium add-ons. It routinely uncovers costly hidden issues—like transmission hesitation, prior frame damage, or neglected maintenance—before signatures hit the paperwork.
- Identifies hidden mechanical issues before paperwork is signed
- Creates negotiating leverage with third-party documentation
- Supports go / no-go decisions with prioritized recommendations
