Pre-Purchase Inspection in Murrieta
Know what you're buying before the money changes hands.
A used car looks fine in a parking lot. On our lift we check frame and collision evidence, fluid condition, leaks, brake and rotor measurements, codes and readiness monitors, and cooling system health.
You get a written report with photos of anything concerning and an estimate of near-term costs — which is either peace of mind or the best negotiating tool you'll have.
