Common questions
Frequently asked questions
- How much is a pre-purchase inspection in Apex, NC?
- Pre-purchase inspections in Apex are quote-based. Specialty vehicles — EVs and exotics like Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini — are quoted separately because of the extra time and tooling. We confirm the exact price before we book.
- Where do you perform the inspection?
- We meet you at the seller's location anywhere in Apex or the surrounding Triangle — a private driveway, a dealership lot, or a CarMax/Carvana pickup. No need to move the vehicle.
- How long does a PPI take and what do I get?
- Most PPIs run 60–90 minutes. You receive a written 105-point report with photos, a full OBD-II scan with live data, and a frank go/no-go recommendation — usually in your inbox the same day.
- Can you inspect a car at a dealership in Apex?
- Yes. We routinely inspect vehicles at franchise dealerships, independent lots, and private sellers across Apex. The seller doesn't need to be present, and most dealers are familiar with the process.
- Do you check for accident damage and frame issues?
- Yes. Every PPI includes a visual frame and underbody inspection, paint depth checks for prior bodywork, and we cross-reference any VIN-reported history. If something looks off, we photograph it and call it out.
- What if the inspection finds problems?
- That's the point. You get an honest go/no-go with estimated repair costs so you can either walk away, renegotiate with the seller, or buy with full knowledge of what's ahead. We never get a kickback from a seller — our only job is protecting you.
- Do you do PPIs on European cars, EVs, exotics, and diesels in Apex?
- Yes. Our techs are ASE-certified across domestic, Asian, and European platforms, plus EVs and exotics (Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc.). Specialty vehicles are priced higher than the base rate because they take longer and require extra tooling — we'll confirm the exact price before booking.
- Can you help if I'm buying a car in Apex from out of state?
- Yes — this is a big part of what we do. You'll get a detailed written report with photos so you can make the call from anywhere. Many of our out-of-state buyers never see the car in person until we've cleared it.
