What we see
Common issues in South Austin
South Austin has a healthy used car market — private party sales on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, word of mouth. We see a range: clean, well-maintained vehicles and vehicles that have been prettied up for sale with problems underneath. Cosmetically nice cars can have significant deferred mechanical work that isn't obvious until you look for it.

Questions
Common questions
Can you do a pre-purchase inspection in South Austin?
Yes. We come to wherever the car is — seller's house, a neutral parking lot. Inspection and written report with findings.
How much does it cost?
You get an upfront flat-rate quote when you describe the vehicle — the total price, approved by you before we come out. It's less than what one missed repair costs.
What happens if the car has problems?
We give you a written report with specific findings and repair cost estimates. You use that information however you want — negotiate, walk away, or buy knowing what's there. That's your call, not ours.
