Frequently asked questions

A full pre-purchase inspection includes exterior and interior condition assessment, mechanical and fluid checks, a road test (where permitted), OBD-II diagnostic scan, undercarriage and frame inspection, and 50+ detail photos. Premium inspections add deeper diagnostics and more documentation.

The on-site inspection typically takes 1–2 hours depending on the vehicle and package selected. You’ll receive your photo-rich report within 24–48 hours after the inspection is completed. Rush options may be available for time-sensitive purchases.

Yes. Vehicle Inspectors can meet private sellers, dealers, or even auction lots. You provide the location details when booking, and the inspector coordinates directly with the seller. This is especially valuable for out-of-state and online purchases where you can’t see the vehicle in person.

Very different. A vehicle history report (like Carfax) tells you what has been reported in the past — accidents, title transfers, service records. A pre-purchase inspection tells you the vehicle’s condition right now. A car can have a clean Carfax and still have hidden mechanical issues, undisclosed repairs, or frame damage. Both are valuable, but an inspection catches what history reports miss.

That’s exactly why you get one. If the inspector finds issues, you have three options: negotiate a lower price based on the findings, request the seller make repairs before you buy, or walk away entirely. The detailed report with photos gives you concrete evidence to support any of these decisions.

GOTMOTOS × Vehicle Inspectors

History reports tell you what happened. Inspections tell you what's happening right now.

A Carfax tells you the car was in an accident. An inspection tells you if the repair was done right. Don't wire thousands on a vehicle you haven't verified.
