Pre-Purchase Inspection FAQ

Why is a pre-purchase inspection important in Miami?
Miami is one of the riskiest used car markets in the country. Florida has no state vehicle inspection, which means cars with serious mechanical or safety issues can be legally sold. Miami also sees a high volume of flood-damaged vehicles after hurricanes and tropical storms — many of which are cleaned up and resold without disclosure. A pre-purchase inspection protects you from buying someone else's problem.
What does the 150-point inspection cover?
Our 150-point inspection covers every major system: engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, electrical, cooling, exhaust, AC, tires, and interior. We also perform a computer scan for stored and pending codes, a test drive to check for abnormal behavior, an undercarriage inspection on a lift, and specific checks for flood damage and accident repair. You receive a detailed written report with photos.
Can you detect flood damage on a used car?
Yes, and this is critical in Miami. We check for telltale signs of flood damage including water lines on the undercarriage, corrosion in electrical connectors, musty odors in the cabin, sand or silt in hidden areas, mismatched or overly new carpet, fog in headlights and taillights, and water stains on the seat frames. Many flood cars look clean on the surface but reveal themselves under professional inspection.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
A thorough pre-purchase inspection at our Wynwood or Doral location takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. This includes the lift inspection, test drive, computer scan, and detailed documentation. We recommend scheduling an appointment so we can dedicate proper time to your inspection. You're welcome to wait at our shop or drop off the vehicle.
