Pre Purchase Inspections

A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) is a comprehensive inspection of a used car that is being considered for purchase. The inspection is conducted by a qualified mechanic who will look for any potential problems with the car. This can help you to avoid buying a car that is in poor condition or that has hidden problems. A complete Engine Diagnostic Test will also be run through the vehicles computer to identify any underlying faults that cannot be detected by visual inspection.

The following are some of the things that are typically included in a pre-purchase inspection:

  • Visual inspection of the exterior and interior of the car

  • Inspection of the engine, transmission, and other major components

  • Test drive of the car

  • Review of the car's service history

  • System checks / tests

  • Engine Diagnostic Test

A pre-purchase inspection can be a valuable investment, as it can save you money in the long run. If you are considering buying a used car, we recommend that you have it inspected by a Spark Automotive Technician.

Benefits of a Pre Purchase Inspection:

There are many benefits to having a pre-purchase inspection done before you buy a used car. These include:

  • Peace of mind knowing that you are buying a car that is in good condition

  • The ability to negotiate a lower price on the car if there are any problems found

  • The ability to avoid buying a car that has hidden problems that could cost you money in the future

What to Expect During a Pre Purchase Inspection

During a pre-purchase inspection, we will:

  • Ask you about the car's history and how it has been used

  • Inspect the exterior of the car for any damage

  • Inspect the interior of the car for any signs of wear and tear

  • Inspect the engine, transmission, and other major components for any problems

  • Test drive the car and listen for any unusual noises

  • Review the car's service history

We will then give you a written report of their findings. This report will detail any problems that were found and recommend any repairs that are needed.
