Pre-Purchase Inspections
Finding and buying the used or pre-owned vehicle of your dreams has been made easy, thanks to the internet. You can find just about any car you can think of for sale somewhere online. Sadly, though, there’s no shortage of scammers and unscrupulous people in the world just waiting to take your money without delivering something in return.
Luckily, there is Auto Appraisal Network of Austin. We have a nationwide network of certified appraisers that will take a look at the vehicle you wish to purchase and perform a full and complete inspection of the vehicle to determine its actual condition. Our appraisers look for any defects or hidden damage, verify the maintenance history, and safety and provide you with a written evaluation report, anywhere in the U.S.
Our pre-purchase inspection covers checking the structural integrity, safety features, electrical system, power train, suspension, fuel system, emissions, steering, heater, a/c, security system(if applicable), exhaust, interior, wheels, tires and the state of general maintenance. We also look for hidden damage that could have been the result of an accident, water damage or excessively rough use of the vehicle. In newer models, we inspect the computer system, including recently cleared computer codes. We verify that there has not been any type of VIN alteration, do a clean title search and verify the mileage on the odometer.
If the vehicle is not represented 100% accurately to you, the buyer, we will not give our recommendation to purchase. You can rest assured that a vehicle inspected by one of our appraisers has been thoroughly checked and verified to be in the condition the seller describes.
