Common questions
Frequently asked questions
- How much is a pre-purchase inspection in Clayton, NC?
- Pre-purchase inspections in Clayton 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 Clayton 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 150-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 Clayton?
- Yes. We routinely inspect vehicles at franchise dealerships, independent lots, and private sellers across Clayton. 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.
