Recently cleared codes
A seller can clear a check engine light before a showing. Our scan shows whether the emissions monitors are ready, which tells us if codes were erased recently.

Pre-Purchase Used Car Inspection in Hoschton, GA
Buying a used car, truck, or SUV? Bring it to our Hoschton shop or book a mobile pre-purchase inspection at the seller's location within 30 miles. We scan the computer, inspect the vehicle, and tell you what we found so you can buy, negotiate, or walk away.
Clear diagnostics and practical repair recommendations
Every vehicle arrives with different symptoms and needs. We review the information available, explain our findings, and discuss the next steps before work begins.
A pre-purchase inspection is the cheapest protection you have when buying a used vehicle. A clean-looking car can hide leaks, worn suspension, a transmission that is starting to slip, or warning codes that were recently cleared. We look before you buy, so you are not the one who finds out later.
You can bring the vehicle to our shop at 1866 GA Hwy 211 in Hoschton, where it can go on a lift for the most complete inspection, or we can come to the seller with a mobile pre-purchase inspection anywhere within 30 miles of the shop. Mobile service is only for pre-purchase inspections; repairs are done at the shop. We inspect European cars like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, as well as domestic trucks, diesels, classics, and Asian cars and SUVs. Buyers from Braselton, Jefferson, Buford, and nearby towns bring us vehicles from private sellers and dealers alike.

What a pre-purchase inspection can uncover
Leaks and overheating signs
Oil and coolant leaks, residue around gaskets and hoses, and signs of overheating are easier to spot with the vehicle on a lift.
Transmission and drivetrain problems
Delayed shifts, slipping, shudder, and noises from the differential or 4x4 system are expensive surprises we check for before you buy.
Worn brakes, tires, and suspension
Uneven tire wear, worn bushings, leaking shocks, and thin brakes add up. Knowing about them gives you room to negotiate the price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a pre-purchase inspection cost?
We do not publish fixed prices, because the cost depends on the model, mileage, and what the inspection finds. Call or message us on WhatsApp at 678-517-8589 with your vehicle details and we will give you a quote before any work is approved.
Do you offer mobile pre-purchase inspections?
Yes. For pre-purchase inspections only, we can come to the seller's home or dealership anywhere within 30 miles of our shop. If the seller agrees, bringing the vehicle to our Hoschton shop allows the most complete check, because it can go on a lift. A seller who refuses any inspection is telling you something.
Can you inspect a Porsche, BMW, or Mercedes before I buy it?
Yes. European cars are where an inspection pays off the most, because repairs cost more and problems are harder to see. We also inspect trucks, diesels, classic and muscle cars, and Asian vehicles.
How do I schedule an inspection?
Call or message us on WhatsApp at 678-517-8589 with the year, make, model, and mileage of the vehicle, plus where the vehicle is, and we will set a time at our shop or at the seller's location. Se habla español.
