iNeedaPPi’s fast, comprehensive, on-site pre-purchase car inspection service is the best way to have that used vehicle checked out before you buy. Our easy to understand inspection report & condition score, completed by our expert inspectors and backed by our internal review process, gives you all the information you need to make the right choice on your next vehicle purchase.

How the process works:

What’s covered in the inspection?

✓ Exterior –  we inspect body panels, glass, wheels, tires, plastics, door handles, weatherstripping/seals, bumpers, mirrors and lights for damage, rust and/or signs of poor quality previous repairs + record the VIN from 2 different locations

✓ Interior –  we inspect seats, steering wheel, dash, gauges, floor, floor mats, pedals, door panels, center console, trunk, headliner and trim for damage, stains, odours, excess wear or signs of water intrusion

✓ Mechanical – we scan the onboard computer for fault codes and verify the internal VIN, inspect the engine, transmission, braking system, steering system, radiator, belts, battery, hoses and more for damage, rust, leaks, modifications, excess wear + we measure tire tread depths, brake pads and check levels + test quality of fluids

✓ + Electric/Hybrid* – we check overall battery health, inspect the battery pack, electric motor(s), high voltage wiring and charging port for damage/modifications + test charging system

✓ Undercarriage – we inspect the shocks, struts, springs, tie rods, ball joints, control arms, sway bars, bushings, CV boots, driveshaft(s), differential(s), transfer case, brake pads + rotors, frame, rockers, underbody, tires, exhaust, hoses/lines for excess wear, damage, rust, leaks and/or modifications

✓ Features – we test all comfort and convenience features to confirm proper functionality

✓ Test drive – we listen and feel for any signs of issues with the engine, transmission, clutch, drivetrain, AWD/4×4 system, suspension, wheels/tires, bearings, steering and braking system

Every finding is carefully documented, supported by pictures and/or videos and detailed descriptions
