When I went to get my car, they pulled the parking brake so hard backward that I had a very hard time releasing the parking brake. This place is that the same as it used to be not that they have been under new management it's really gone down downhill.

I am very impressed with the quality and detail of the two inspections I have ordered from Russell…read moreand his team. Both were distant internet purchases where it was not feasible time or money wise to travel to the dealers. When a delay in the scheduled inspection came up I was notified immediately so I was not waiting for a late report back. The reports Texas 1st provides are exactly what you need to make a buying decision. They will call you just after the inspection and provide you with a report over the phone so you can make a decision to wait for the detailed report via email or pass on that vehicle immediately. In my case both vehicles were in tough shape which the photos from their websites didn't show. The unseen oil leaks and blue smoke on the test drive are tell-tale signs of bigger issues. Nicks, dings and chipped windscreens also don't show up in the pictures or the sellers descriptions but Texas 1st notes them all. Since the first two inspections yielded two duds I'm quickly working on the next car on my list, contacting the dealer for availability and scheduling for Texas 1st to inspect. Yes they have earned my repeat business because they are that good. Now you may think spending $169 to inspect a car as expensive but It is not. I bought our last vehicle sight unseen and 900 miles away ten years ago and still own and drive it daily. No issues with it except for those items listed in the inspection report. Needed tires, sales price was adjusted for that and I replaced the tires. Needed an alignment, had that taken care of as well. I look at the cost of the inspection as money well spent. A Texas First Auto Inspection is a big tool in my/your toolbox when purchasing a used car. I would use Russell and his team even if I was local because they are so easy to work with and it eliminates me taking the vehicle to an inspector that could be on the other side of town. Another way to think about Texas 1st is they are like a OBD2 code reader. You plug them into the vehicle and they tell you all that is wrong with it. Simple as that.

I paid $300 for a pre-purchase inspection on a Honda CR-V on June 20, 2026. The inspector spent…read moreless than 30 minutes at the job then leave. The inspector's report stated the bumper/grill just needed to be clipped back in. The dealership later had to replace the entire bumper because it was beyond repair. This inaccurate diagnosis affected my purchase decision. I contacted the owner with photo evidence on July 22. On July 29 he acknowledged the issue and agreed in writing to a full refund within 5-7 business days. The refund never came. I sent follow-up emails on August 5, August 13, and August 14. He ignored the first two. On August 14 he responded saying he had contacted Stripe and the refund was in pending status and would be pushed through. It still never arrived. After weeks of being ignored, I changed my Google review from 5 stars to 1 star. I had left the 5 star review AFTER he agreed to the refund, as a courtesy. At no point before the refund agreement did I mention any review. The owner has since changed his position entirely. He now claims the bumper issue was my fault, he called my a LIAR, and that I threatened him with a review to get a free service. All of these claims are contradicted by the email thread. He has stopped acknowledging the refund he agreed to in writing. I have also filed a chargeback with my bank. I have the complete email thread documenting everything described above and can provide it upon request.

He asked for my insurance, which I showed him I had it on my phone. I've been showing the same insurance ID when I went inspect my other cars, never have problem.

It doesn't make sense since I have different insurance provider so they don't look alike!! He kept raising his voice in front of dozens of other customers like I'm stupid or something. And believe me, I'm not the only person complaining about his attitude. There are handful of reviews already mentioned this problem. Please take your business elsewhere.

I cannot say enough great things about Before You Buy LLC. I hired him to inspect a vehicle I was…read moreextremely skeptical about from a small mom-and-pop dealership, and he may have truly saved me from the biggest headache--and heartache--of my life. He was incredibly thorough and professional. The inspection took about an hour, and he didn't just do a quick glance--he went deep under the hood, came fully prepared with multiple bags of tools, and checked everything with care and precision. His attention to detail was unmatched. What I appreciated most was his honesty and straightforwardness. He didn't try to sugarcoat anything and gave me clear, detailed explanations that allowed me to make a confident, informed decision to walk away from the purchase. That alone was priceless. If you're on the fence about a vehicle or just want peace of mind before buying, this service is worth every penny. I will absolutely be using Before You Buy LLC again in the future--especially when I'm ready to purchase a home. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you TJ & God bless you!!
