Pickup Truck Inspection

From half-ton to dually. Trucks work hard, and a fresh detail hides a lot. We find the wear that matters.

A truck's life shows up underneath, not on the paint.

We look for tow and plow abuse, frame rust, and hidden body repair — the stuff a quick wash can't cover.

What we check

✓

Frame & undercarriage

Rust, bends, and past repair on the rails and crossmembers.

✓

Tow & plow wear

Signs of heavy towing or plowing the odometer won't show.

✓

Bed & body

Rust-through, filler, and panel repair around the bed and cab.

✓

Drivetrain

4x4 engagement, transfer case, axles, and driveline play.

✓

Brakes & tires

Pad and rotor wear, lines, and uneven tire wear from alignment.

✓

Engine & trans

Leaks, cold start, shift feel, and a full code scan.

What you get

A documented report on frame, body, and drivetrain
A history report with accident and title events
A live OBD-II scan
A straight read on whether the price fits the wear

Common questions

Can you tell if a truck was used to plow?

Often yes. Mounts, wiring, and front-end wear leave marks.

Do you check 4x4 systems?

Yes. We test 4-high and 4-low and check the transfer case.

Where do you inspect?

All 48 states.

How fast?

Usually same or next day.
