A test drive tells you how it feels. Not what's wrong.
Cosmetic detailing and a confident sales pitch can hide flood damage, prior accidents, and mechanical problems that cost thousands after you drive off the lot. A pre-purchase inspection gives you the data a test drive can't: an independent, professional assessment of the vehicle's real condition before you commit.
What's in every MotorGeeks inspection
150+ point inspection
Mechanical, electrical, structural, and cosmetic condition — covered in detail, not a quick walk-around.
On-site, wherever the car is
Dealership, private seller, or auction lot — our inspector comes to the vehicle. No drop-off, no shop visit.
Flood and accident history checks
Silt deposits, corrosion patterns, water lines, and structural signs of prior damage — critical in a Gulf Coast market.
Digital report within 1 hour
High-resolution photos, a color-coded condition summary, and estimated repair costs — delivered within 1 hour after the inspection is completed.
Zero conflict of interest
We don't sell cars, and we're not paid by the dealer or the seller. Our only job is to tell you the truth about the vehicle.
Scheduled within 24 hours
We can typically schedule your inspection within 24 hours, subject to vehicle access and seller/dealer availability.
How it works
Request Your Inspection
Tell us about the vehicle you need inspected — location, type, and any specific concerns. We'll confirm availability and schedule the visit.
We Inspect On-Site
Our inspector travels to the vehicle's location — dealership, private seller, auction lot, or your facility — and performs a thorough, standardized audit.
Review Your Report & Decide
You receive a detailed digital report with photos, condition ratings, and estimated repair costs. Use it to negotiate a better price, approve the purchase, or walk away with confidence.
Independent by design. Not a courtesy inspection.
A dealer's service department has an incentive to see the sale close. We don't — because we don't have one.
We don't sell cars, hold inventory, or take a commission on any deal.
We're paid only by you — never by the dealer, the seller, or the auction house.
Our inspectors follow the same standardized, engineering-grade protocol on every vehicle, not a dealer-defined checklist.
The report is yours. We have no stake in whether you buy, negotiate, or walk away.
One flat rate. No hidden add-ons.
The Pre-Purchase Inspection starts at $199 for standard vehicles (sedans, SUVs, trucks, and EVs). Pricing varies for luxury, classic, and commercial vehicles — contact us for a custom quote.
