What we see
Common issues in East Austin
East Austin has a lot of private party sales — older cars, project vehicles, imported vehicles, things with character and sometimes things with problems. We've done pre-purchase inspections here that ranged from 'clean, buy it' to 'structural damage they didn't disclose.' Both outcomes are useful information before you hand over money.

Questions
Common questions
Can you do a pre-purchase inspection in East Austin?
Yes. We come to wherever the car is — the seller's house, a street, a parking lot. Inspection includes a written report with findings and cost estimates.
Do you inspect older or modified vehicles?
Yes. Older vehicles, modified vehicles, imports — we inspect what you're buying. If a modification creates a safety concern or affects value, we include it in the report.
What if you find serious problems?
We tell you specifically what they are and what they'd cost to repair. You decide whether to negotiate, walk away, or buy it knowing what you're getting into. That's the whole point.
