If you're in Scotts and your car needs pre-purchase inspection, you don't have to get it to a shop. We're a mobile mechanic based in Statesville, about 12 minutes out, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around the US-64 corridor toward Taylorsville every week.
Why Scotts drivers book mobile pre-purchase inspection
Scotts is a quick run west on US-64. Lots of rural driveways, gravel lots, and farm trucks that need service where they sit. That's exactly the situation mobile diagnostics & inspections work solves: the mechanic comes to the vehicle, so a car that shouldn't be driven doesn't have to be.
What's included
Buying a used car off Marketplace or from a lot on US-21 without an independent inspection is a coin flip. We meet you at the seller's location, spend an hour going through the car with a scan tool, paint gauge, and a flashlight, and hand you a written report you can negotiate with. We've talked people out of lemons and into good deals in equal measure.
- Scan every module for current, pending, and cleared codes
- Check for accident repair with a paint-depth gauge and panel gaps
- Inspect the engine, transmission, cooling system, and fluids
- Check brakes, tires, suspension, and steering on the ground and underneath
- Test every electrical feature and the A/C
- Road-test and deliver a written report with photos
Signs it's time
- You're buying a used car from a private seller or dealer
- The seller says 'it just needs a little work'
- The Carfax is clean but something feels off
- You want leverage to negotiate the price
