Frequently Asked Questions about Used Vehicle Evaluations at Harrell & Beverly
What is a pre-purchase vehicle inspection?
A pre-purchase inspection is a detailed, professional evaluation of a used vehicle’s condition before you buy it. Our ASE-certified technicians check major systems like the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and electrical components to help you understand what you’re buying — and avoid surprises later.
Why should I get a pre-purchase inspection before buying a used car?
Used cars often look great on the surface, but hidden issues can turn a “good deal” into an expensive repair later. A professional inspection helps you make an informed decision, negotiate a fair price, and buy with confidence.
What’s included in Harrell & Beverly’s pre-purchase inspection?
Our inspection includes a full Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) with photos, videos, and detailed notes from our ASE-certified technicians. You’ll receive a clear report outlining what’s good, what may need attention soon, and any major concerns to consider before purchasing.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
Most inspections take about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the vehicle. We take the time to perform a thorough check and provide you with an easy-to-understand digital report once it’s complete.
Do you perform pre-purchase inspections for all vehicle types?
We inspect most domestic and Asian import vehicles. However, we do not work on classic cars or exotics. If you’re unsure whether we can inspect a specific vehicle, give us a quick call — we’re happy to help.
Can you come to the dealer or seller’s location to perform the inspection?
We do not offer mobile inspections. The vehicle must be brought to our shop in Sanford so our ASE-certified technicians can perform a proper evaluation with the right tools, lift, and diagnostic equipment.
