Quick answer
Should I get a used car inspected before buying?
Yes, always. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent shop reveals hidden damage, worn components, leaks, and pending repairs the seller may not mention. For a small fee you get an honest assessment and real negotiating leverage, especially on higher-mileage trucks and diesels.
What's included
- Full mechanical and safety inspection
- Computer scan for stored and pending codes
- Fluid, leak, brake, and tire assessment
- Written report you can negotiate with
