Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection FAQs

Can you inspect a used car before I buy it?

Yes. Arrange a pre-purchase inspection with East Highland Auto Tech before committing to a vehicle. Get the seller’s permission and call the shop to coordinate the vehicle and appointment.

Will I receive a written report I can use to negotiate?

Yes. We provide a printout of inspection findings and recommended work. Use it to discuss the vehicle’s condition, request repairs or negotiate the price with the seller. The seller decides whether to accept your proposal.

Does a pre-purchase inspection guarantee the car has no problems?

No. An inspection reports findings from the checks performed and the vehicle’s condition at the time. It cannot guarantee future reliability or reveal every hidden issue. Call to confirm the inspection scope, fee and any restrictions for the vehicle.

Do I need an appointment for pre-purchase vehicle inspection?

Appointments are recommended. Call (909) 425-2121 and East Highland Auto Tech will help you choose the best next step based on the vehicle concern and current shop availability.

Can East Highland Auto Tech give an exact pre-purchase vehicle inspection estimate by phone?

The team can discuss the concern by phone, but an accurate repair estimate may require inspection or diagnostic testing so the shop is not guessing.
