About Us
The Auto Detectives were founded in 1995 by Mark
J.Allen.(Mark's
bio-click here) They are an Automobile and R/V inspection
company, and were created to protect used car buyers in the United
States. They are a mobile
service and will send one of their A.S.E. Certified Master
Inspectors out to a remote location to perform a 201-point
inspection. Their inspection includes checking inside to make sure
all the equipment is operational. They make a determination if the
mileage is correct and matches the condition of the vehicle during
their odometer rollback check. The vehicle
is then checked for evidence of flood damage. They check the
exterior for evidence of collision damage repairs or prior
repaint.
They check the undercarriage for rust, frame damage or external
fluid leaks. All the mechanical components are checked and
the vehicle is taken for an extensive test
drive. They will perform the inspection at any remote
location, making
this a very convenient and affordable service available
by
appointment 7 days a week starting at $149.95 - $189.95 (classic & luxury cars slightly
higher).
The pre-purchase buyers inspection can also be
used as a Sellers or Pre-Certification Inspection. For
the same price this inspection includes digital photographs and a
digital
written report that can be posted to any website. We back all our
inspections
with a written report. This report is available to our
customers by phone, fax, email, snail mail, or soon on our website.
The Auto Detectives also offer other services such as diminished
value / fair market appraisals, 2nd opinion extended
warranty inspections, legal expert witness services, pre-policy
extended warranty inspections, and lease
return inspections.
