A thorough automotive pre-purchase inspection is an important step in buying a used car to ensure that you are making a wise investment. Here are some of the key components that our thorough pre-purchase inspection would typically entail:

1. Exterior inspection: This would include a detailed examination of the car's exterior, including the body, paint, glass, and tires. The technician would look for any signs of damage, rust, or wear that could indicate potential problems.
2. Interior inspection: This would involve a close inspection of the car's interior, including the upholstery, dashboard, and other components. The technician would look for signs of wear and tear, as well as any signs of damage or malfunctioning components.
3. Engine inspection: This would involve a detailed examination of the engine and its components, including the belts, hoses, and fluids. The technician would check for signs of wear or damage, as well as any leaks or other issues.
4. Transmission and drivetrain inspection: This would involve a detailed examination of the car's transmission and drivetrain components, including the axles, driveshaft, and differential. The technician would check for signs of wear or damage, as well as any leaks or other issues.
5. Electrical system inspection: This would involve a detailed examination of the car's electrical system, including the battery, alternator, and other components. The technician would check for signs of wear or damage, as well as any issues with the car's electrical system.
6. Road test: This is perhaps the most important part of the inspection, as it involves taking the car out on the road to test its performance and handling. The technician would pay close attention to how the car handles, accelerates, and brakes, as well as how it shifts and responds to different driving conditions.

Overall, a thorough pre-purchase inspection will provide a comprehensive assessment of the car's overall condition, and help you make an informed decision about whether or not to buy it. We recommend a pre-purchase inspection before buying any used car!
