Inspections & Reports
Every inspection and report we offer, in one place. Pick the vehicle, the situation, or the model.
Inspections by Vehicle
By Vehicle Type
Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection
Our flagship inspection. One certified tech, 125 checkpoints, a live OBD-II scan, and a full history report — so you know what you're buying before you pay.
Start a pre-purchase vehicle inspection →Pickup Truck
From half-ton to dually. Trucks work hard, and a fresh detail hides a lot. We find the wear that matters.
View →🔧Diesel Truck
Power Stroke, Cummins, and Duramax. A diesel is a big buy, and a bad one is a very big bill. We know where they hurt.
View →🚛Commercial Truck
Class 6–8 semis, box trucks, flatbeds, and fleet vehicles. A bad buy here doesn't just cost money — it stops your business.
View →🔋EV & Hybrid
Electric and hybrid vehicles hide their wear in the battery. We read it before you buy.
View →🚐RV & Motorhome
Class A, B, and C, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. The chassis is half the story — water damage is the other half.
View →🏍️Motorcycle & Powersports
Bikes, ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides. A dropped bike or a hard-run quad hides its story well. We find it.
View →🏁Classic & Collector
Numbers-matching, restoration quality, and originality. With a classic, the story is the value. We confirm it's true.
View →💎Exotic & Luxury
High-dollar performance and luxury. The repair bills match the price tag, so the history has to be clean.
View →🏗️Heavy Equipment
Excavators, loaders, dozers, and cranes. Bad iron is expensive iron. We make sure it runs before you wire the money.
View →🚜Trailer
Utility, enclosed, dump, and gooseneck. A trailer looks simple, but a bad frame or axle is a real safety risk.
View →🏭Forklift
Electric, LP, and diesel lifts. A forklift moves your whole operation. We make sure it lifts safe and runs right.
View →🚜Agricultural & Tractor
Compact, utility, and row-crop tractors. A tractor is a long-term tool. We make sure it has plenty of work left.
View →⛵Boat & Marine
Outboard, inboard, and I/O. A boat hides its problems below the waterline. We check what you can't see at the dock.
View →⚡Generator & Power Equipment
Standby, portable, and towable generators. When the power's out is the wrong time to find a problem. We test it first.
View →By Purpose
The Right Inspection for the Situation
Used Car Inspection
Dealer or private party — an honest read before you negotiate or hand over cash.
Salvage / Rebuilt Title Inspection
A branded title isn't always bad — but the repair behind it has to be right. We check the work.
Auction Buy Inspection
On-site and fast. We inspect before you bid, so you don't buy a problem under the gavel.
Out-of-State / Remote Inspection
Buying across the country? Don't wire money for a car you've never seen. We go look for you.
Lease Return Inspection
Document the wear before you turn it in — so the lease company can't surprise you with the bill.
EV Battery Health Check
The battery is most of an EV's value. We test its health before you buy.
Smog / Emissions Readiness
Don't buy a car that can't pass smog. We confirm it's ready before you pay.
