Problem
Used‑car buyers often cannot physically inspect vehicles that are located far away, and traditional inspections are expensive, fragmented, and lack comprehensive vehicle history, leading to costly purchase mistakes.
Solution
CarInspections.com offers a nationwide pre‑purchase inspection service that dispatches ASE‑certified mechanics to the vehicle’s location. Inspectors perform a standardized 200‑plus point check covering engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, electrical systems, body, and more, documenting findings with photos. Each report includes an AI‑enhanced analysis, a free OBD diagnostic scan, and a complimentary VINData history report covering accidents, title, odometer, recalls, ownership, theft, liens, warranty, and market value. Pricing is transparent at $179.99 with no hidden fees, and payment is only captured after an inspector confirms the job, making the service risk‑free. The final digital report provides repair estimates and clear buy/don’t‑buy guidance, enabling buyers to make informed decisions without traveling.
