Pre-purchase inspection- booking
Important Booking Notice
Submitting a booking does not mean it’s confirmed.
All inspection requests are reviewed to ensure the vehicle meets our criteria and the seller aligns with our professional standards. The booking is only confirmed once we’ve contacted you directly and accepted the job.
We operate independently and without compromise. If you’re uncomfortable with direct feedback or can’t accept a declined request, our service is not the right fit. A more basic, checklist-style inspection company may better suit your needs.
Report Delivery:
Inspection reports are typically completed overnight. If they cannot be finalized by 4:00 AM, they will be completed and delivered the following morning.
If you expect to receive an instant report minutes after the inspection, believing that speed equates to quality, our service may not align with your expectations. Thorough reports require time, attention, and accuracy.
