​I hired Hieu to perform a mobile pre-purchase inspection (PPI) on a 2010 Toyota RAV4, and I could…read morenot be more grateful for his service. He is very accommodating to my last minute request. On paper, the vehicle looked absolutely perfect: it was a clean, one-owner vehicle with an extensive, flawless dealership service history on the Carfax. Most people would have bought it on the spot based on the paperwork alone. In fact, I was ready to buy that day. ​However, Hieu's physical and mechanical assessment revealed a completely different story. During the road test, he immediately identified an internal transmission failure, noting clear bearing noise and intermittent hard shifting. Because the transmission hadn't thrown a diagnostic trouble code yet, a standard OBD-II scan wouldn't have caught this. They also uncovered active timing cover and valve cover leaks, along with severely worn front suspension control arm bushings and torn boots. ​On top of the mechanical issues, he meticulously documented extensive cosmetic wear and unaddressed body damage that was completely glazed over in the vehicle history reports. ​If you are buying a used car, do not skip the PPI, and absolutely hire Hieu. He is honest, incredibly thorough, and highly professional. Thank you for saving me from a massive headache!

Although I did not expect to find anything of concern, it was comforting to know a qualified 3rd party would thoroughly inspect the vehicle top to bottom before I made such a substantial investment. Rob responded swiftly and made sure to setup the appointment with the dealer himself. His subsequent correspondence was thorough and supplemented with photos. The "car-biz" is littered with sketchy folks and many situations where good sellers simply don't even know themselves there are underlying problems. The service CA Car Inspections provides is invaluable regardless of the age or condition of the vehicle being considered. Do yourself a favor and call Rob now rather than wish you had later. Having this report to rely upon should you decide to sell the vehicle later will make you a more informed seller, too.

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 had a very good experience using Inspectiver. I booked an inspectiver pre-purchase inspection…read morebecause i was in need to buy a car as soon as possible. After i booked online, the inspector, Dabo contacted me right away to confirm the details, and he arrived at the dealership on time. Even though the vehicle wasn't there (in a warehouse), he waited for them to bring the vehicle to the dealership. Dabo inspected the vehicle thoroughly, and told me of all the various issues he found on the vehicle, and i'm really glad i did not buy it cause it would have been a headache and cost thousands of dollars to repair all the issues the dealership was hiding on the vehicle. I was satisfied with the report (along with pictures) that were provided promptly after the inspection was completed. Because i did not buy the vehicle, i wanted to have another inspection on another vehicle that very same day, and i'm very glad Dabo was able to accomodate my request. Dabo again inspected the vehicle, told me about the issues on the vehicle, and again he saved me a headache because i was able to make a deal with the dealership to fix those issues that he found on the vehicle before i purchased it. He also provided the inspection report promptly. All in all, my experience with inspectiver was very positive. Dabo was very friendly, professional, and his experience in talking about issues that he found on the vehicle was very helpful for my purchasing decisions. In addition, I feel like the price inspectiver charges for doing a pre-purchase inspection is quite reasonable. If i had to buy another vehicle, i would use inspectiver again.

Instead, they tell you when it will happen. I was told someone would inspect the car I'm interested in at 2pm and that's exactly what happened. Customers are sent a link that lets them check the progress of the inspection and the report. My report was detailed and informative. I called Inspectiver directly for clarification on their summary and recommendation. The rep on I spoke with was incredibly helpful and reinforced the inspector's recommendations on how to proceed. Having a trusted service to inspect a used car before you make a purchase is crucial. I highly recommend Inspectiver to do the job!

His reasoning for cancelling was he did not want to take my money knowing he can't beat the at fault insurances 2,000 dollar offer because my vehicle is a salvage title and 500,000 miles. I told him I found receipts of a replaced rac and pinion, master cylinder, engine, and leather seats and he said he would not take that into consideration in my appraisal report and still cannot do more than $2,000 car value on my vehicle report . Again, his reasoning is that it's salvage and 500,000 miles. I told him there's more that makes up the value of a vehicle than just salvage title and mileage , and he said maybe I can show a judge my receipts and see what they think. What??????????? He wants me to present my 9,000 dollars worth of receipts to a judge who is not an appraiser and have a judge decide what he or she thinks is the value of my car and if they can give me a higher value than 2,000. He's supposedly this top notch appraiser who GIVES TESTIMONY IN COURT UNDER OATH and he doesn't think a replaced engine with lower miles, leather seats , upgraded rac and pinion upgraded master cylinder, upgraded springs , new alternator, new battery, new starter new brakes will make a cars value go up?????????? He's a moron I'm glad he never did my report . He also was telling me he found a comparable of my vehicle , in which the ad said "mechanics special" with a salvage title. He's a fucking moron, he wants to compare my highly maintained vehicle with every single part replaced on it with a car that's not running and has a bunch of maintenance issues . He's an appraiser and only looks at comparables with title type and mileage , and won't take your receipts into consideration on upgrades and maintenance

He was extremely thorough, friendly and didnt let the sleazy salesperson get away with anything. I felt some much more secure in my purchase after having Jeff take a look at it. Bottom line, Jeff and PAL were fantastic and I'd highly recommend them to ANYONE looking to purchase or lease a vehicle. The dealerships just lie to you to get your money, if you want the truth before spending your hard earned money, spend the nominal amount for PAL's pre-purchase inspection. The amount you will save in potential repair costs down the road is worth thousands. Thanks again guys!

I contacted the…read moreperson who inspected the car and he confessed he's not actually a mechanic; just an inspector!! I contacted the company directly and they simply said that their mechanics are fully vetted and there were no indications the car was about to die. The alternator was bad and the dashboard had multiple lights and warnings indicating there is a problem. I fell for the scam that it is "because the battery was disconnected". I felt confident having the inspection done but the report and the company itself are a Lemon. Incompetent at best. Never send a mechanic on his own (like I did) to prevent potential side deals. There might be good mechanics there, but it is not worth the risk. The company itself and their customer service is crap.
