Buy with confidence
A cheap car can be expensive. Here’s what I catch.
Sellers — private and dealers — don’t always know (or say) what’s wrong. Here’s where used cars hide their secrets.
Hidden accident damage
Paint work, frame repairs, and replaced panels tell a story the seller might not. I know where to look.
Engine and transmission health
Fluids, leaks, noises, and shift quality reveal how the car was maintained — and what’s coming due.
Brakes, tires, and suspension wear
These are the big-ticket items sellers hope you won’t check. I measure and document all of it.
Electrical and computer gremlins
A full scan catches stored codes and warning-light tricks — like bulbs that are conveniently ‘burned out.’
Rust and underbody condition
Utah road salt eats cars from below. I get underneath and show you what’s solid and what’s not.
No surprises

Straight answers
Pre-purchase inspection questions, answered
I do pre-purchase inspections all over Davis County — including Farmington, Layton, Bountiful, Kaysville, Syracuse, Clearfield, Clinton, Centerville, Woods Cross, North Salt Lake, and West Bountiful. As a mobile auto mechanic, I bring the car repair shop to your driveway — send your location when you request a quote and I'll confirm availability.
What does a pre-purchase inspection cover?
Bumper to bumper: engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tires, electrical, rust — plus a full computer scan and road test. You get a written report with photos and repair estimates.
How long does the inspection take?
Usually about an hour, a bit more for larger vehicles. You’ll have the full report the same day.
Can you inspect a car at the dealer’s lot?
Yes — I meet the car wherever it is in Davis County: dealer lots, private sellers, auctions. I just need the seller’s permission and access to the car.
What if you find problems?
Then the inspection just paid for itself. You’ll get photos, an explanation of each issue, and what it’d cost to fix — which you can use to negotiate the price down or walk away.
Do you do repairs beyond inspections?
Yes — I’m a full-service mobile auto mechanic. If you buy the car, I can handle whatever it needs: brakes, oil changes, batteries, diagnostics, alternators, starters, and tune-ups.
