Pre-Purchase Inspection Services – New Orleans, LA
Tim’s Quality Car Care has been helping drivers of the Greater New Orleans area for over 50 years. We help keep drivers safe by keeping them fully informed about their vehicles. One very helpful way we can help keep you informed is through a Pre-Purchase Inspection. Tim’s can do a detailed full vehicle check on a used vehicle you are considering purchasing.
Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection Matters:
Buying a used vehicle is a huge investment. It is best to make your used vehicle purchase as informed of a decision as possible. Repair history helps track what was done to the vehicle, a CARFAX report will help find any insurance claims made on the vehicle. The most fool proof way to get a feeling for the maintenance and repair needs of a vehicle is to have it inspected. Hidden body damage that was not repaired by insurance may not show up in a CARFAX. Un Detected structural rust or other damage will also not show up in a CARFAX. Having one of our Technicians preform a Pre-Purchase inspection helps give you piece of mind.
