#1 of 3 pre-purchase inspection advice by 1stimecarbuyer May 11, 2008 (11:48 am)
I need some pre-purchase inspection advice. I'd rather have someone come inspect the Buick LeSabre I'm considering right there on the dealer lot, but I don't trust Carchex and SGS automotive, especially after looking them up on the Better Business Bureau and finding hardly anything on them online. Do Goodyear, Firestone, Pep Boys, Precision Auto, any national place like them, do pre-purchase inspections? Or better yet, can anybody here from Nashville, TN recommend a car inspection facility downtown? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: 1stimecarbuyer (May 11, 2008 11:48 am) Firestone does inspections. You will have to drive it to their store, however, they won't come to the dealership. I have never had a dealer protest. If they did I would be very suspicious.

Replying to: 1stimecarbuyer (May 11, 2008 11:48 am) I've had a good experience with AiMmobileinspections.com. They do a 150 point pre-purchase inspection including a test drive. I was notified that the inspection report was available on-line shortly after the inspection was completed. The inspection report was a great tool for negotations.
