- Can you inspect a car from a dealer or private seller?
- Yes. The inspection is done here at 2014 12th St, where we have the lift and scan tools. Most sellers will let a serious buyer bring the vehicle to us for an hour. Call ahead and we will set aside a bay.
- Will you tell me what the car needs?
- We will not tell you what to pay, but we will show you exactly what the vehicle needs now and soon, so you can price it in or walk away. The readings are yours to keep.
