Pre-Buyers Inspections
The Auto Detectives (www.auto-detectives.com), an Automobile
and R/V inspection company, was created in 1995 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 only $149.95
- $189.95 (luxury and classic vehicles slightly higher). For all other
prices please see the Pricing Page.
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.
Recreational vehicle inspections are also
available including motorhomes, travel trailers, tent trailers,
boats, and personal watercraft. The pre-buyers type
inspection is performed which checks the basic vehicle and
drivetrain, and all the accessories and optional equipment
can also be inspected. For example, on a full size class A motorhome,
all the equipment including the refrigerator, water system, sewer
system, propane/LPG system, and all electrical accessories
including a/c, heating, t/v's, vcr's, stereo's, microwave,
range, stove, leveling, GPS, and back-up camera's
can also be inspected for only $199.95!
