How to find a vehicle inspection near..
If you’re shopping for a used car, truck, SUV or van you want to make sure that vehicle is in good condition and isn’t going to cause you any headaches in the near future. You only buy a vehicle once every 5-10 years, you aren’t a “car nut” but you know the basics and like a smart consumer you’d like someone who knows more to check out that vehicle for you..
So, what are your options?
- You could ask a friend or relative who knows vehicles. Of course, this isn’t always convenient. People are busy and it’s hard to make time for anything these days. Besides, you may not want to inconvenience someone you care about.
- You could take it to a mechanic shop. This is the best way to find out what kind of mechanical condition the vehicle is in, but it’s expensive. Most good shops are booked up for weeks, and who’s going to physically take the vehicle there? Are they/you going to wait at the shop hours for it to be completed or come back again to pick it up? It can be a real pain and after all that time and money you might not even buy the vehicle.
- There is however, another option. A company like iNeedaPPi will go to the vehicle’s location quickly (24 hours or less), inspect it and send a detailed report to your email, for only $129. You also save the time and effort of getting the car to a mechanic, and picking it up. Now their inspection is not quite as thorough as a mechanic shop (they don’t lift up vehicles or remove wheels/tires) but as experienced vehicle inspectors they are knowledgeable about vehicles and are most likely going to catch anything serious. Best of all, their standard scoring system can help you easily compare different options.
In the end it’s entirely up to you which route you choose. Whatever you decide, I hope this helps you find a vehicle inspection near you.
