§07 / FAQ

Brake questions

Where does the inspection happen?

At the seller's location, wherever the car is sitting. That means a driveway, a farm lane or a yard, and we go out to Forest, Goode, Amherst and the surrounding areas to do it.

Do I need to be there?

It helps but it is not required. We will go through what we found with you either way, in plain terms rather than a list of part numbers.

Will you tell me whether to buy the car?

We tell you what the vehicle needs, what is urgent and what can wait, and you make the decision. Being honest about a car's condition is the whole point of the visit.

Can you inspect a car at a dealership?

We can where the seller agrees to it, so check with them first. Some lots allow an outside mechanic on site and some do not.

What does an inspection cost and what exactly is covered?

Call with the year, make and model and we will quote a price and a time window before anything is booked. Ask what the inspection covers for that vehicle when you call, since the depth of the check depends on access and whether a test drive is allowed.
