Our Automotive Inspections

What Do Our Automotive Inspections include? One of our ASE certified technicians will meet you at any location in the Sacramento Area. They will show up on time in a marked vehicle EVERYTIME, with diagnosis tools ready to perform your pre-purchase inspection. We usually have same day availability. If not, we are always able to perform an inspection by the next day. We have 2 highly trained automotive technicians trained in mechanical, and auto body work. Particularly in the Sacramento Area we see lots of poorly repaired vehicles with unreported accident damage. We provide FREE consultation after the inspection. You are more then welcome to talk to our technicians after the inspection over the phone or in person. We will NOT send a "contracted independent mechanic" we don't know to do your inspection. We will always send a highly trained technician that works for OUR COMPANY.
