Inspections, ADAS Scan and Damage Documentation
Pre-Purchase Body and Structural Inspection
What a seller does not volunteer
Undisclosed previous structural repair, water damage inside a wall, and corrosion under a fresh coat of paint are the three things that turn a good deal into an expensive one, and none of them show on a walkaround.
We inspect for evidence of repair work, sound panels for delamination and water damage, check frame and structure, and assess upfit equipment condition. You get a written report you can negotiate with.
- Evidence of previous structural or collision repair
- Frame and structural condition assessment
- Corrosion inspection including underbody
- Water intrusion and delamination sounding
- Panel, paint and glass condition
- Upfit equipment condition assessment
- Written report with photographs
