FAQ

Pre-Purchase Inspection — FAQ

What does a pre-purchase inspection include?
We check the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, tires, fluids, and safety systems, and scan for stored trouble codes. You get an honest summary of the vehicle's condition and any concerns before you commit.
How long does an inspection take?
A thorough pre-purchase inspection typically takes about an hour. Call ahead at (530) 205-9162 to schedule so we can have it ready when you arrive.
Is it worth the cost?
Almost always. An inspection is a small price compared to buying a car with hidden engine, transmission, or frame problems. It also gives you leverage to negotiate — or the confidence to walk away.
