We don't waste your money on the wrong car.
If our initial checks raise concerns, we'll call you before going further.
Your choice: just $50 per car for the initial checks, or continue at the agreed inspection price. Travel is separate.
Pay $50 per car upfront, plus travel. The $50 counts toward your inspection price, not an extra charge. If you ask us to end the inspection after we contact you about initial concerns, it covers the shortened inspection.
What happens at the start?
Every Essential, Premier and Elite inspection starts with baseline checks: a fault-code scan, startup/idle, accessible fluid levels, visible leaks, exterior and tires, where access and vehicle condition allow. These initial checks do not include underbody inspection, disassembly or a road test; further checks follow your selected tier.
If those initial checks raise concerns that make me question whether the inspection is worth completing, I contact you, explain what I found and ask whether you want me to continue. Choose to stop at that point and the inspection fee is just $50 for that car. Choose to continue and the regular selected inspection proceeds at its agreed price. Travel stays separate.
Stopping at this point means the full inspection and report are not completed. Initial checks are not a recommendation to buy.
Travel Fee
Free in 75248. Elsewhere, see your travel fee when booking. One travel fee per location. Texas only. Pay $50 per car plus travel upfront; the $50 is deducted from the inspection balance due after completion.
Bringing more than one car?
Multiple cars: weekends only. 2nd Essential/Premier 10% off, 3rd onward 25% off. The better of this or the limited-time offer applies, never both. Elite is excluded and does not count.
