Looking to buy a used car but not sure if it’s worth your money? At My MECHANIC 82, we specialize in giving you peace of mind before you sign the deal. Our expert pre-purchase inspection service helps you avoid costly surprises by uncovering hidden problems that most sellers won’t tell you about. Whether you’re buying from a dealership, private seller, or online listing, our goal is to protect your wallet and keep you safe on the road.

Our service includes a full emissions readiness check, so you’ll know if the vehicle is ready to pass a smog test. We also scan for check engine lights and pending codes—issues that might not trigger a light yet but could lead to major repairs later. This advanced diagnostic approach ensures you get the whole picture of what’s happening under the hood, not just what you see on the dash.

Every vehicle we inspect goes through a comprehensive 21-point inspection that covers the essentials: brakes, suspension, tires, fluid levels, belts, hoses, leaks, and more. We look at the areas that matter most for safety, performance, and reliability, giving you confidence in your purchase. Our trained mechanics know where to spot wear and tear that others overlook.

Beyond the basics, we also evaluate the overall condition of the car—from signs of past accidents and flood damage to improper repairs. We’ll let you know if the vehicle shows red flags or if it’s in great shape and worth the asking price. With our honest, mechanic-backed report, you’ll be able to negotiate better or walk away from a bad deal.
Don’t gamble on your next vehicle purchase. Let My MECHANIC 82 be your trusted partner in making a smart investment. Book your used car inspection today and drive with confidence knowing you have a professional mechanic on your side.
