What to ask about
- Pre-purchase inspections
- Condition assessments
- Written findings
- Repair-priority discussions
What to expect
Ask what the inspection includes, whether a road test is possible, and what type of written report you will receive. An inspection cannot guarantee future reliability.
Before the visit
Coordinate access with the vehicle owner and provide the location, vehicle details, and any specific concerns.
Keep in mind
A general vehicle inspection is not the same as a state safety or emissions inspection.
