What makes our before you buy mobile inspection different from the rest?

People love what we do and the quality of service we bring to them. Have a thorough quality inspection of the vehicle of your choice before you buy. We make sure nothing goes undetected.

Quick Turn Around

We aim to help you get a car as soon as possible. Therefore we don't make you wait for weeks just to get through a car inspection. Our turn-around time is 24-48 hrs on business days. This allows you to get a quicker report of the pre-purchase inspection and you can make an informed decision easily and quickly. With our mobile unit, we can swiftly go to the vehicle you wish to purchase and conduct a complete bumper-to-bumper inspection. After the inspection, you will receive a complete analysis of the car along with a thumbs up or thumbs down so you have a definitive answer on your vehicle.

170 PT Inspection

Each car has several different parts that need to be checked. Each part further has multiple components that could be faulty or damaged. A 170 point inspection has a complete checklist that includes even the minor details such as the engine oil level, battery check, fuel system, suspensions, shock absorbers, and much more. With a 170 point inspection, you can clearly find out where the fault is in the car and which areas would need repair or replacement. It provides a much more in-depth analysis of the car's condition so you can make a well-informed decision.

Diagnostic Reading

A full vehicle inspection is of utmost importance when purchasing a car but most inspectors often overlook the diagnostic readings of the car. A diagnostic test can reveal problems in the engine, transmission, exhaust system, brakes, and other major components, as well as performance issues with the fuel injector, airflow and coolant, ignition coils, and throttle. These readings could play an important factor in whether or not you go through with the purchase and therefore it is an important step during the vehicle inspection.

Under carriage

While it is easy to conceal any outward damage to the car with some repairs and a paint job; the undercarriage of the car reveals a lot of information about its actual condition. The undercarriage can show signs of a wreck, improper repairs, bent components, or major rust. Hence our professionals thoroughly evaluate the undercarriage of the car. They check for wear and tear, any leaks, or other issues which could cause you trouble afterward. While it is important to inspect the things you can see, it is also of utmost importance to inspect components that are hidden away.

Brakes

We understand that brakes are a vital part of any car inspection therefore we make sure to do a thorough brake check along with the efficiency and pressure appliance of the brake. We ensure that there isn't excessive brake travel or any pulsations as they could be an indication of a larger issue at hand. We conduct a full investigation of all the measures of the brake along with the braking fluid, brake pads, rotors, and drums of the brake. An unfit braking system can be extremely dangerous in any car and a brake inspection is essential for all drivers to establish a safe and protected ride.

Engine

Our inspection team makes the car engines their top priority. We check the entire engine performance to ensure that there are no misfires, backfires, rpm fluctuations, etc. Our trained professionals keep a close eye to detect any issues with the engine performance that could result in a larger issue later. The main focus of the engine inspection is to examine the critical components of the engine for any signs of wear and tear that might need repairing or replacement. The engine is the most crucial aspect of any car therefore our thorough engine inspection is vital before purchasing a car.

Test Drive

Before purchasing, every potential owner conducts a test drive. While the obvious dents and cracks are easy to spot, they are not equipped to find the small details. Our professionals go through every minute detail of the car to assess any popping noises, handling and alignment issues of the steering wheel, etc. These are minor details often missed by the untrained eye thus, our team of certified professionals is perfect for the job. They meticulously spot any signs of repair, rust, or damage to the car which can potentially save you from buying an unsuitable vehicle.

Proof of Faults

After we have conducted the inspection, we give you a detailed report on the issues or damages to the car. However, our detailed report not only states the problems, but we also have proof of the faults, damages, and repairs with close-up photos of any scratches, faults, defects, bumps, and dings that the car may have. This ensures full customer satisfaction and they don't just have to take our word for it but they can also see all problem areas for themselves. This allows a complete and comprehensive analysis of the vehicle they wish to purchase.

The only problem is….

In order for the dealership to honor the purchasers claim the buyer must have a third party vehicle inspection report (an inspection that has no relationship with the dealership).

The reason for this is because many claims were being made falsely and unjustly. Therefore, this policy was implemented and is a two way street. A.) It protects the dealership from losing money on returned used car shipments and B.) it protects the buyer from buying a misrepresented vehicle.

Therefore protect yourself, your investment, and make an informed buying decision by purchasing a pre purchase used auto inspection from Texas First Auto Inspections – Houston, TX.
