Wrench Rescue handles pre-purchase inspection for drivers across Wilkesboro, NC. We come to you — home, work, or the side of NC-268 — with the parts and tools to finish the job in one visit. Wilkesboro is on the outer ring of our service area, about 45 minutes away.
Why Wilkesboro drivers book mobile pre-purchase inspection
Wilkesboro is the Wilkes County seat, up NC-16 through Taylorsville or NC-115 from Statesville. It's the northwest corner of our hour. 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
