Pre-Purchase Inspection
MERCEDES PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION
The cheapest two hours in the deal. An inspection costs a fraction of the first repair you would otherwise inherit, and it is the only part of buying a used Mercedes that is entirely on your side.
FOUR CHAPTERS, ONE VERDICT
Mechanical and chassis on the lift. Electronics and software on the factory tool. Cosmetic and body in daylight. Then history and a proper road test.
You get a written report the same day — not a verbal impression at the curb.
On The Lift
Mechanical and chassis, underneath
Full Module Scan
Stored faults the seller cannot see
Road Test
Driven, not just idled
Same Day
Written report before you decide
WHAT THE INSPECTION COVERS
Mechanical and chassis
On the lift: leaks, suspension wear, bushings, exhaust, tires, brake material remaining, and any evidence of accident repair.
Electronics and software
Every module scanned on the factory tool. Stored faults, software levels and adaptation values — the things a test drive will never show you.
Cosmetic and body
Paint depth readings, panel gaps, glass, trim and interior condition, assessed in daylight.
History and road test
Service records read against what the car actually shows, then driven properly — cold start, town, and highway speed.
FOUR TIMES AN INSPECTION PAYS FOR ITSELF
Private sale in town
No warranty and no recourse. An independent inspection is your only protection.
Buying from out of state
A car you have never stood next to. We are your eyes before it ships.
Auction lot
Short inspection windows and no returns. Knowing the faults changes what you bid.
Dealer lot
A certified badge is not an independent opinion. Ours is.
