Reduce the risk of costly repairs with help from our experts
Our ASE-certified technicians will perform a full inspection on your vehicle to determine the overall health and condition of the vehicle. Based on the inspection, we will provide you with a detailed report explaining any foreseeable repairs or services that the vehicle will need in the near future. You can trust that our certified mechanics will provide an honest and accurate inspection on the vehicle you are considering.
When it comes to used vehicles, there can often be underlying issues that cannot be seen or detected with the naked eye. A pre-purchase inspection will protect you as a buyer, making you completely aware of the financial burdens that the vehicle may carry in the future so you can understand its true value and make an informed decision.
A used vehicle pre-purchase inspection will:
Identify major problems
Hidden engine, transmission, and brake issues can be costly. A professional vehicle inspection helps detect these before purchasing.
Detect flood damage
Vehicles previously affected by flood damage may have electrical and mechanical issues that impact long-term reliability.
Assess accident history
A previous accident can affect the structural integrity and performance of a used car.
Understand repair costs
Some potential problems may not be deal-breakers, but knowing the cost of repairs helps in negotiating a better price with the seller.
What’s included in a pre-purchase inspection?
For customers looking to buy used cars, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified automotive expert is the best way to guide you in the wisdom of your purchase and save you money in the long run. At EAS Tire & Auto, our pre-purchase inspections cover every key aspect of the vehicle to help you make a confident decision in the used car market.
Here’s what we evaluate:
Exterior and interior condition
- Look for rust, dents, scratches, and repainting that might indicate previous damage.
- Inspect seats, dashboard, and electronic components.
- Check for water stains or musty smells that could signal flood damage.
- Review safety features like airbags, lights, etc., for proper function.
Engine and transmission
- Examine engine condition for oil or coolant leaks or strange noises.
- Assess transmission operation, fluid levels, and shifting smoothness.
- Perform a diagnostic scan of various mechanical systems for error codes.
Brakes, tires, and suspension
- Check brake components, including brake pads and rotors, for wear and performance.
- Inspect tire condition and alignment.
- Evaluate steering and suspension components for stability and ride quality.
Test drive
A test drive is a crucial part of the pre-purchase inspection. Our mechanics will assess how the vehicle handles, accelerates, and brakes. Unusual vibrations, noises, or performance issues could indicate major problems.
Check warranty coverage
Some used cars still have an active warranty, but underlying issues may void it.
