Pre-Sale Inspection

150 points.Checked before you ever see it.

Every vehicle on our lot goes through a 150-point inspection by our own technicians before it gets a price tag. Mechanical, safety, electrical, and cosmetic. Anything that fails gets fixed in our service center or the vehicle doesn't get sold. This is why we can price haggle-free with confidence.

Then What

Fail a point, fix the point.

The inspection isn't a report we hand you and walk away from. Anything that doesn't pass goes straight into our service center. Brakes under spec get replaced. Tires at the wear bars get replaced. A frame with rot doesn't make it to the lot.

After the mechanical work, every vehicle gets our full detail and rust proofing. By the time it's listed, it's been through more than most cars see in years.
