If you're in Lincolnton and your car needs pre-purchase inspection, you don't have to get it to a shop. We're a mobile mechanic based in Statesville, on the outer ring of our service area, about 45 minutes away, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around the US-321 Business corridor every week.
Why Lincolnton drivers book mobile pre-purchase inspection
Lincolnton is the Lincoln County seat and the southwest corner of our map. Still inside the hour, and we're glad to make the trip. That's exactly the situation mobile diagnostics & inspections work solves: the mechanic comes to the vehicle, so a car that shouldn't be driven doesn't have to be.
What's included
Buying a used car off Marketplace or from a lot on US-21 without an independent inspection is a coin flip. We meet you at the seller's location, spend an hour going through the car with a scan tool, paint gauge, and a flashlight, and hand you a written report you can negotiate with. We've talked people out of lemons and into good deals in equal measure.
- Scan every module for current, pending, and cleared codes
- Check for accident repair with a paint-depth gauge and panel gaps
- Inspect the engine, transmission, cooling system, and fluids
- Check brakes, tires, suspension, and steering on the ground and underneath
- Test every electrical feature and the A/C
- Road-test and deliver a written report with photos
Signs it's time
- You're buying a used car from a private seller or dealer
- The seller says 'it just needs a little work'
- The Carfax is clean but something feels off
- You want leverage to negotiate the price
