    These guys worked on my clutch and it lasted longer than the OEM. That tells me they did a great job.

    Steve was able to help me within a day, I called him, and we got the car inspection done quickly…read more He also took the time to look at my current car and recommended safety adjustments that was absolutely necessary that I had overlooked. Thank you so much Steve, I had a great time meeting you!

    As the seller of the vehicle, I always advise buyers, particularly those from out of state, to hire…read morea professional for a car inspection. Over the past 10 years, I've bought and sold many vehicles and worked with over 20 inspectors. Their job is to meticulously examine the car and deliver a detailed report to the buyer. Unfortunately, my experience with Steve was far from satisfactory. He arrived 20 minutes late and took over three hours to inspect the car. After checking my security footage, I saw he spent much of the time doing little, sitting in the car with the AC on, and repeatedly revving the engine. He also left fingerprints all over the vehicle during his inspection. I've worked with numerous inspectors and respect their expertise, but Steve's conduct was unprofessional. He even interrupted my wife, who was working from home, to have her come out and activate the turn signals to verify they worked--an absurd request for a supposed professional. Rather than providing a thorough inspection, Steve seemed more focused on driving the car and offering subjective opinions, like stating the car was "uncomfortable" and not ideal for long drives. A quick look at his past reviews reveals similar complaints. While his rates may be lower than those of a qualified mechanic or inspector, you get what you pay for. He left a mess on the passenger seat and called me with basic questions, such as why a red light indicated an open door, which any competent inspector should know. I'm writing this to spare others the frustration. For a reliable inspection, invest in a professional--it's worth the extra cost. I will not permit Steve to inspect any of my vehicles in the future.

    Adam is amazing at what he does. First of all, he's a very kind person and explains everything…read moreclearly. Responsive over the phone and via text. He moved around his appointments to fit me in. At the inspection itself..... wow. Adam is a car psychic. Based off some very slight paint differences he said the car had a prior accident that the seller didn't know about. He was 100% right. The seller was surprised, called the previous owner, and the previous owner confirmed on the spot that there was an undisclosed accident exactly where Adam said it was. I didn't end up getting the car. Adam's estimate was thousands less than the asking price. He handled most of the talking and by the end the seller wasn't even angry about the valuation he made. He made it a pleasant and easy experience for all of us. He's the best!

    Three weeks ago, Adam met me to inspect a Camry I found on Craigslist. Long story short, I didn't…read moreend up buying the vehicle. It was two thumbs down from Adam, and he told me verbatim, "I'm not letting you buy this car." But that inspection was only the beginning of the service Adam provided. In the aftermath, he told me what to look for, how to sus out used car sellers, and encouraged me to share listings with him as I continued my hunt. We must have had at least four phone calls in the week following the inspection, every single one of them helpful and informative. I learned so much. And just a week after Adam helped me dodge that bullet, I was able to confidently buy my first car. I couldn't have done it without him. Even after I purchased the vehicle, Adam recommended upgrades, gave me advice on maintenance, and referred me to local mechanics who could help install new gadgets. All in all, Adam is a really nice guy and deserves your business. Working with and learning from him was truly a pleasure. Highly recommended. Oh, and the price was more than reasonable! Honestly, he overdelivered.

    After my ultra reliable 2012 Toyota Yaris was totalled in an accident, I was in the market for…read moreanother one and ended up finding a used 2016 Toyota Yaris SE that appeared to be in great condition but with high mileage. I placed an order on their website for a pre-purchase inspection and they were able to come out to meet the seller of the vehicle the next day. After the inspection, the inspector gave me a call with his findings and overall impression of the vehicle . The day after the inspection, a written report and a numerous inspection photos were available on the order page of their website. The written report specifically covered the following areas: Road Test, Engine & Mechanical, Suspension & Undercarriage, Tires & Brakes, Exterior & Body Condition. The level of detail in the report and the number of photos provided was satisfactory. Overall, it was a good overall experience and I'm happy with the service provided and with the vehicle I purchased. Why did I not give a full five stars? First, I believe a whining transmission noise they noted in their report was misdiagnosed. It seems to have been caused by the car's AC compressor that progressively whined louder before eventually failing during the fifth drive after purchase. Second, the report indicated that the transmission was leak free but I've found the slightest pooling of transmission fluid in my garage since the first day I purchased the car. Lastly, minor details seemed to be missed like missing roof weather strips/mouldings, a detached fog lamp, and sanding/repair work done on the rear bumper and rear fenders. If they had the means to diagnose the whining noise further and offered that as an add-on package, I probably would have availed and subsequently provided a higher rating.

    I am very disappointed with my inspection today. First of all, I asked on the phone and again when…read morePeter was at the car...if he would inspect under the car. He said he would, but he did not. His version of an under the car inspection was sticking his cell phone under the edges of the car and taking a photo. He certainly didn't crawl under and take a look. He made more of an effort to connect with the seller, than me, the buyer and person who hired him. He completed the inspection in 20 minutes and it certainly wasn't worth $200. It was anything but thorough. He said he was mostly inspecting cosmetics and basic function, which I said I could do. I asked him to share with me what he was inspecting as he went along, and he declined to do that. Honestly, he seemed to be in a hurry. Lastly, although I was told I would be getting all the photos the inspector took, absolutely none none of them are in the report. I do not recommend him and would never use him again!

    I contacted Auto Doc's midday on a Saturday and they were available to make a trip down to Carlsbad…read moreearly the next morning to do a pre-purchase used car inspection for me. I don't live in Carlsbad, so this was all executed without my having to be there - Dennis interfaced with the car seller and took care of everything. He called me right after to give me a summary of how it all went, and by the end of the day I had a full 40-page report as well. It was every bit as thorough as you'd want it to be. In fact, when I went down later to complete the purchase, the seller commented on how thorough Dennis had been with his inspection - even lifting the car up (on site!) to inspect the undercarriage. He spent I believe nearly two hours on it, making sure I wasn't buying something that was gonna have the wheels fall off five miles from the dealer. I had been a little nervous in searching for inspectors because most of the inspection companies I saw have iffy online reviews, and their websites have FAQs where they explain why their inspectors *don't* need to be certified mechanics. It's like, no, dude, I kind of wouldn't mind an inspector who knows what he's doing, thank you very much. But Dennis is the real deal, a certified, experienced mechanic with a deep resume, and the proof was in just how meticulous and perceptive he was with his work. He even spotted a paint touch-up job that was so well done I'd missed it when I had looked over the car earlier. I found Dennis to be professional, courteous, and punctual. Zero hassle. I would use his services again without hesitation if the need arose. (Worth noting also that his company isn't one of the ones that kicks back a discount for a 5-star review - his reviews are legitimately earned.)

    He was punctual, thorough and honest, and communicative when I texted with questions. I felt he did…read morean excellent job and I trusted his opinion. I hopefully won't need to buy a car again anytime soon but I would recommend him!
