Pre-Purchase Inspection at Pit Stop Pros
A used vehicle can look spotless and still be hiding an expensive problem. The seller is not always lying; often they simply do not know. A pre-purchase inspection takes the guesswork out before you commit.
We put the vehicle on a hoist and go through the systems that turn a good deal into a bad one: brakes, suspension and steering, fluids, belts and hoses, the electrical system, and the engine and driveline. Then we tell you what we found in plain language: what is fine, what needs attention soon, and what would change the price.
What’s included
Brakes
Pads, rotors, lines, and how the system actually performs.
Suspension & Steering
Worn parts, leaks and signs of past damage.
Fluids, Belts & Hoses
Condition and leaks, not just levels.
Electrical
Warning lights, stored fault codes and the charging system.
Engine & Driveline
How it starts, runs, shifts and sounds.
A Clear Verdict
What we found, explained so you can decide.
Worth inspecting especially if
- You are buying privately rather than from a dealer
- The vehicle is out of warranty
- It is a diesel, a tow vehicle, or has been modified
- The price seems too good
- The seller is vague about history or maintenance

Common questions
What does a pre-purchase inspection check?
Brakes, suspension and steering, fluids, belts and hoses, the electrical system, and the engine and driveline, plus a scan for stored fault codes.
Should I inspect a vehicle from a dealership?
It is worth it on any used vehicle. An independent inspection gives you a second opinion from someone with no stake in the sale.
Can you inspect diesels and modified trucks?
Yes. Our diesel team inspects diesels, and we know what to look for on lifted, lowered and tuned vehicles.
Can an inspection help me negotiate?
Often. Knowing exactly what a vehicle needs gives you a real basis for the price, or a reason to walk away.
