Warning Lights and Modules
A scan of every system, not just the engine. Stored faults and cleared codes tell you what the dash will not.
Exotic and Luxury Pre-Purchase Inspections
Know the Car
Before You Wire
the Money
An inspector goes to the car anywhere in the lower 48. You get a photo report before you pay.
At the Car
We go to the dealer, the seller or the auction yard. You do not have to fly in or take a day off.
Photo Report
You see the car the way we saw it, with notes on what is good, what is worn and what costs money next.
Straight Answer
Buy it, use what we found to negotiate, or walk away before a five figure mistake.
Real Inspections
Cars We Have Actually Put Hands On
No stock photos here. These come from our own jobs on a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE, a supercharged E55 AMG, a 2017 Porsche Cayenne S, a 2025 Lucid Air and a Range Rover Evoque.
Every photo on this site is from a real inspection. Plates, people and dealer names are cropped or blurred.
What We Check
A High-Dollar Car Gets a Deeper Look
The repair bills on these cars match the price tag. So the inspection goes past the obvious and into the things that cost real money.
Paint, Panels and Trim
Repaints, filler and mismatched panels. Dark paint hides bodywork well, so each panel gets looked at in good light.
Engine and Drivetrain
Leaks, seepage, cold start noise, shifting and the road test. We look for the problems each model is known for.
Leather and Cabin
Seat wear, bolster damage, headliner, power seats, screens and every switch. A cabin shows how a car was really kept.
Battery and Charging
On an EV we check charge behavior, the charge port, warnings and how the car reports its own battery health.
Hatches, Seals and Water
Hatch struts, liftgate motors, drain paths and damp carpet. Water in the wrong place on a luxury car gets expensive fast.
Why It Matters
The Listing Shows the Good Side
On an exotic, one skipped service or one hidden repair can cost more than a whole economy car. An hour with an independent inspector is the cheapest part of the deal.
Service Records That Do Not Add Up
Big services get skipped when cars change hands. We match the records to the miles and the wear we see.
Quiet Bodywork
A clean history report only lists what got reported. Paint and panel gaps show what did not.
Tires That Aged Out
Low mile cars often sit on old rubber. We read the date codes, not just the tread.
Faults That Only a Scan Shows
Modern luxury cars store faults that never light up the dash. We read them before you own them.
How It Works
Three Steps, No Trip Required
Send the Car
Year, make, model and where it is. A listing link helps. You get a firm price first.
We Go to It
We set a time with the seller and inspect the car where it sits, dealer, home or auction.
You Decide
You get the report with photos and notes, then buy, negotiate or walk away.

Questions
What Buyers Ask First
How much does an exotic inspection cost?
Exotic and luxury inspections are quoted per car. A Cayenne and a McLaren do not take the same time or the same tools. Send the car and where it sits and you get a firm price before anything is booked. You pay nothing until you say yes.
Where do you inspect?
Anywhere in the lower 48. The inspector goes to the car, at the dealer, the seller's home, a storage unit or the auction yard. You do not need to be there.
Will the seller know what you found?
No. The report comes to you. We work for the buyer and keep it quiet. If the seller asks, we only say an inspection was done.
What if the seller will not allow an inspection?
That alone tells you something. Most dealers and private sellers say yes once a time is set. If one refuses, we tell you how buyers usually handle it.
Do you inspect at an auction or out of state?
Yes. Out of state buys are where an inspection pays off most, because you cannot see the car yourself before the money moves.
What do I get at the end?
A written report with photos of the car as it sits that day. It covers what is good, what is worn and what needs money soon, so you can buy, negotiate or walk.
