Buying a used car can be an exciting experience, but it’s not without its risks. While many used cars can be great deals, others may come with hidden issues that could cost you thousands of dollars down the road. At Harrell & Beverly Transmissions & Auto Repair, we believe in empowering our customers to make informed decisions—because peace of mind should be part of every purchase.
One of the best ways to ensure you’re making a smart investment is to schedule a Pre-Purchase Inspection for the used car you're considering. Here’s why it’s essential and how our team of ASE Certified Master Technicians can help.
What is a Pre-Purchase Inspection?
A Pre-Purchase Inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a used vehicle performed by a qualified technician. The goal is to identify any existing problems or potential issues that might arise in the future. At Harrell & Beverly, our inspections cover:
Mechanical Components: Engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and more.
Fluids: Oil, coolant, transmission fluid, and other essential fluids.
Safety Features: Airbags, seat belts, and other safety-critical systems.
Electrical Systems: Lights, battery, and dashboard electronics.
Tires and Wheels: Tread depth, alignment, and overall condition.
Overall Condition: We evaluate the car’s structural integrity, looking for signs of prior accidents or hidden damage.
Why is a Pre-Purchase Inspection So Important Before Purchasing a Used Car?
1. Avoid Unexpected Costs
A used car might look great on the outside, but without a thorough inspection, you won’t know if it’s hiding costly issues. Our detailed inspection report can save you from purchasing a vehicle that may need expensive repairs shortly after you drive it home.
2. Gain Negotiating Power
If our inspection uncovers minor issues, you’ll have a better understanding of what repairs might cost, giving you leverage to negotiate a fair price with the seller.
3. Ensure Safety
Your safety and the safety of your loved ones is our top priority. We make sure the vehicle’s safety systems are in working order so you can feel confident on the road.
4. Verify the Seller’s Claims
Private sellers and dealerships may not always disclose everything about a vehicle’s condition. An inspection gives you an independent, unbiased assessment of the car’s health, so you can trust the information you’re basing your decision on.
