I was getting my car checked out for a move several states away and needed to be sure I could drive safely without spending several thousand dollars on repairs immediately. I had gone to the dealer first and with them, everything was urgently needing to be done. I appreciated the insight and attention to my concerns. It also turned out that I somehow had 2 different tire sizes on my car and when the dealer rotated the tires, they caused an issue with the steering that I only noticed after leaving this business. I had driven straight from the dealer to here so didn't notice the issue. I took the car back to The Mecahnic OC questioning what they had done since I didn't have the issue before and they discovered the issue with the one tire. They put the tire in a different location and the issue was solved. They didn't charge me for this and it was much appreciated. I would recommend them 100%. If I was still living in MV, they would have become my new mechanics.

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!

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.)

​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.

The "car-biz" is littered with sketchy folks and many situations where good sellers simply don't even know themselves there are underlying problems.

Having this report to rely upon should you decide to sell the vehicle later will make you a more informed seller, too.

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
