Used Car Inspections Kent WA Drivers Can Trust

When it comes to scheduling a used car inspection in Kent WA, you have the option of having one performed by a mobile inspector. While this can be convenient for you and the seller, the best inspections are done in-house at a professional auto repair shop. We’ll use our equipment to perform a variety of checks that can’t be replicated off-site. These include a computerized engine analysis, as well as parts inspections that can spot issues that may not be noticeable to the naked eye. 

It’s important to get a car pre-purchase inspection any time you’re considering buying a used car. While the car may run OK, there could be hidden problems or damage that the previous owner isn’t aware of or has disclosed to you. For example, the vehicle may look pristine, but there could be a serious problem, like frame damage. Knowing about potential problems–and how much they might cost you to fix–allows you to decide whether the vehicle is worth the expense. In some cases, the damage revealed by a pre-purchase inspection may even be a bargaining chip. 

Some of the items we check during used car inspections include:

  • Tire and brake condition
  • The frame
  • Suspension and steering 
  • Glass
  • Engine and transmission health
  • Fluids
  • Signs of collision damage
  • Evidence of mold or rust
  • The air conditioner, heat, and electronics systems
  • And more

Our experienced technicians will be able to tell you whether the car’s been in an accident, if it’s been well-maintained, or if it has parts that will need replacing in the near future. Having this knowledge will help you make a smart purchasing decision or negotiate a better price for the vehicle.

Super nice people, Conner was at the front desk as well as another person but I didn’t catch her name. Both were helpful. The shop couldn’t repair my issue due to the manufacturer requiring specific tools. They did a safety inspection and didn’t charge me for it or for the diagnostics since they couldn’t perform the fix!
