Mobile Pre-Purchase Used Car Inspection

Walter's background is a real advantage here. Beyond his Army mechanic training, he spent years in collision repair and as an insurance auto damage adjuster, so he knows what poorly repaired accident damage looks like: mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps, overspray, and replaced parts that don't line up.

What's included

• Exterior and body check for signs of prior collision repair or flood exposure
• Under-hood inspection for leaks, belts, hoses and fluid condition
• Computer scan for stored, pending and recently cleared codes
• Brakes, tires, steering and suspension check
• Lights, AC, electrical accessories and warning lights
• Test drive (with the seller's permission)
• A plain-English rundown of what he found so you can negotiate or walk away

Signs you need it

• You're buying from a private seller
• The car is from a lot without a solid inspection report
• The price seems too good
• The vehicle history is unclear or shows an accident
• You're buying for a new driver and want peace of mind

How mobile service works

1. 1

   Call, text, or request a quote

   Tell Walter the year, make and model and what's going on.

2. 2

   Get an upfront price

   You know the cost before any work starts.

3. 3

   Walter comes to you

   Home, office, or parking lot in Fort Bend County.

Walter meets you, or goes on your behalf, where the car is: the seller's driveway, a dealership lot, or a public parking area. Ask the seller ahead of time for permission to inspect and test drive. A seller who refuses an independent inspection is telling you something.
