Greasemonkey Inspectors - On-site Pre Purchase Vehicle Inspections

Purchasing an automobile, whether new or used, entails a significant financial investment on your behalf. When buying a new vehicle, there are several sources of information and reviews to help you understand the car’s quality and performance. Alternatively, there aren’t many options for a used one. A used car’s history – whether it suffered major accident damages, any corrective paint jobs, bad repair work, any other significant replacement, or inherent problems – will not be seen through a visual examination due to many users and different purchasers. As a result, purchasing a used automobile may be stressful and feel like a gamble that necessitates extensive knowledge of various car types. Fortunately, pre-purchase vehicle inspection services like ours can assist you in making the best selection possible.

Anyone interested in purchasing a reconditioned or a used vehicle.

The Greasemonkey pre-purchase inspection covers over 200 checkpoints which includes a road test, interior, exterior condition, vehicle diagnosis scan, engine condition, suspensions, hybrid condition, under hood, and under body.
