Vehicle Inspection
An inspection is the cheapest way to dodge a nasty surprise. Buying a used car, heading out on a long trip, or just want to know where you stand? We go over the vehicle top to bottom and give you the honest version in plain words, so you can make the call with real information. We've been doing this for Augusta and Aiken drivers since 1977.
Serving Augusta, Martinez & Thomson, GA and Aiken & Warrenville, SC.
Signs You May Need Vehicle Inspection
Catching any of these early keeps a small problem from turning into a big bill. Our ASE-certified team will take a look and tell you straight what's going on.
- You're about to buy a used car and want to know what you're really getting
- A long trip is coming up and you want it checked before you go
- A warning light is on and you want to know how serious it is
- The car's high-mileage and you want an honest baseline
- Something feels off but you can't put your finger on it
- A dealer or another shop told you something and you want a second opinion

What Affects the Cost
Every vehicle is a little different, so we look at yours and give you a price before we start. Here's what moves the cost on a vehicle inspection job:
Type of inspection
A quick multi-point look is less involved than a full pre-purchase inspection on a car we've never seen.
What you drive
Bigger trucks and some European models take longer to go over the right way.
How deep you want to go
Some folks want a road test and a scan-tool pull, others just want eyes on the basics.
