The Auto Pre Purchase Inspection Team has one purpose:
The APPI Team is here to prevent you from spending your hard earned money on a clunker. Don't get ripped off! I see too many people nowadays complaining about a bad vehicle purchase they wished they could take back. Every used car inspection we do (current or classic model) includes a thorough, bumper-to-bumper visual and physical inspection, with a detailed report that includes a minimum of 20 photos. All of our used car inspections goes’ well beyond the 160-point standard inspection, giving you a extensive evaluation of every component of the vehicle, both physical and mechanical.
The Appi Team is trained to look for bumps, dents and dings, check the paint condition, and look for evidence of body filler and any sign of a previous collision or repair. We pay close attention to rust; corrosion, fluid leaks and any other obvious signs of shade tree repairs, none of the inspections can be truly complete without a test drive of the vehicle. Our inspection includes at least a 2 mile test drive, (if the seller allows) during which we can evaluate the aspects of the vehicle’s engine condition: transmission, brakes, drive train and suspension, as well as steering performance and any irregular noises. We evaluate the ride quality, drive line and check for wheel/tire vibration, wind noises and do a visual inspection for collision, flood damage, functionality of cruise control, air conditioning, heater and all electrical accessories. Air conditioning is not checked with diagnostic equipment, but is checked for noises and proper operation. I have been in the automotive repair industry for 12 years as a technician, and know the value of thoroughly looking over a vehicle. I have also seen so many of my customers come in with a vehicle they just purchased and have had to do some major repair. That is why I have created this website to help with your next automotive purchase, to make it easy and painless, to make sure you’re getting what you are expecting.
