About to buy a used car from a private seller or small lot in Fresno County? We meet you at the vehicle's location and run a full 100-point inspection before you hand over a dollar or sign anything.
Private sellers aren't required to disclose mechanical problems. Our inspection surfaces what a test drive won't — and what the listing photos definitely won't show.
Oil staining, coolant residue, and transmission seep visible in the undercarriage that tells you this car has been dripping — even if it was cleaned before the test drive.
Expensive FixA seller can clear a check engine light before listing. The OBD-II memory often still holds the cleared code as a "pending" entry. We scan for both active and pending codes.
Common TrickBrake pads at 2mm look fine in photos and feel okay on a short test drive — but they're weeks from metal-on-metal. We measure and rate them before you commit.
A cracked serpentine belt or swollen coolant hose might be fine today and fail next week. We document heat degradation on all accessible belts and hoses.
A battery that starts the car reliably may have 20% of its cold-cranking amps remaining. We test and document actual battery health — not just whether it starts.
Our written report with photos gives you documented leverage. "Your inspection report says the brake pads need replacement" is a much stronger negotiating position than a gut feeling.
Pays for ItselfWe meet you at the seller's location anywhere in Fresno County. One-time flat rate of $125. Photo report within 30 minutes. Most clients save far more than the inspection costs on their first negotiation.
