Expert Mobile Pre-Purchase Inspections for Peace of Mind

Buying a used car is a big decision, and getting a professional pre-purchase inspection can make all the difference. Our mobile pre-purchase inspection service provides detailed, on-site evaluations so you can feel confident about your purchase. At 360 Mechanic Mobile Auto Repair, we bring our expertise to you, offering in-depth, reliable inspections to ensure that your prospective vehicle meets your standards for safety, reliability, and value.

Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection is Essential

A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) is your best line of defense against unexpected repairs and hidden issues. It goes beyond a simple test drive by examining the vehicle’s major systems, safety features, and potential problem areas. With our inspection service, you gain a complete understanding of the vehicle’s condition before committing to a purchase, helping you avoid costly surprises and giving you leverage in negotiations.

Key Benefits of a Pre-Purchase Inspection:

• Uncover Hidden Issues: Detect mechanical, electrical, or safety concerns.

• Assess Value Accurately: Determine if the asking price aligns with the car's condition.

• Gain Negotiation Power: Use the inspection report to negotiate for repairs or a better price.

• Peace of Mind: Feel confident about your investment with a clear understanding of the vehicle's status.

Our Mobile Pre-Purchase Inspection Service Includes

1. Comprehensive Exterior and Interior Inspection
We examine the vehicle’s body, paint, and interior for signs of accidents, repairs, and wear. This includes checking for paint inconsistencies, rust, and any interior damage, along with verifying that all controls and features work as they should.

2. Engine and Transmission Check
Our experienced technicians perform a full assessment of the engine and transmission, checking for leaks, performance issues, and any signs of engine trouble. We evaluate transmission fluid levels, examine belts and hoses, and listen for abnormal sounds.

3. Suspension and Steering Assessment
We carefully inspect the steering and suspension system, ensuring that the vehicle handles properly and that no suspension parts are excessively worn. This helps prevent future issues with handling, tire wear, and overall ride comfort.

4. Brake System Examination
Our inspection includes a thorough brake evaluation, checking pads, rotors, brake lines, and brake fluid. We assess stopping power and ensure that the brake system operates safely and efficiently.

5. Electrical System Test
We verify that the car’s electrical systems, including the battery, alternator, lights, and infotainment systems, are in top working condition. This helps prevent any electrical problems down the line.

6. Diagnostic Scan for Error Codes
Using advanced diagnostic tools, we scan the vehicle for error codes that may indicate underlying problems. Our diagnostic scan covers all major systems, giving us insight into any issues that may not be immediately visible.

7. Tire and Wheel Check
We inspect tire tread depth, wear patterns, and wheel alignment. Properly aligned wheels and tires with good tread are essential for safety, handling, and fuel efficiency.

8. Road Test
A road test is included in our inspection, allowing us to assess the vehicle’s real-world performance. We test acceleration, braking, steering, and overall handling to ensure that the vehicle drives smoothly and safely.
