If you're in Sherrills Ford 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, roughly 25 minutes from our base, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around the Lake Norman west shore every week.
Why Sherrills Ford drivers book mobile pre-purchase inspection
Sherrills Ford is the fast-growing west side of Lake Norman. Lake houses, new subdivisions, and boats on trailers that need a truck that starts. We've done plenty of pre-purchase inspection jobs in this part of Catawba County, and the process is the same everywhere: confirm the problem, quote it, fix it, and clean up.
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
