Pre-purchase vehicle inspection
Are you considering a vehicle purchase but find yourself short on time?
Have you located your dream car and need assistance transporting it to a mechanic for inspection? We offer a convenient vehicle transport service to help.
Please note that we currently only service vehicles with automatic transmissions. For a nominal fee, we will transport your vehicle to the shop of your choice within our service area.
Our standard pricing covers the Twin Cities metro area, Hudson, River Falls, and Prescott.
While we are able to accommodate transport requests outside of this region, these will incur additional costs.
Average Loss When Someone Buys a Car Without an Inspection (Twin Cities Market)
✅ Average financial loss: $1,800 – $4,000
Most Minnesota buyers who skip a pre-purchase inspection end up losing money due to hidden repairs, immediate maintenance needs, or undisclosed issues.
In the Twin Cities, the risk is even higher because of:
Harsh winter climate (rust, salt corrosion, underbody damage)
Older used-car inventory
Higher-than-average repair shop labor rates ($150–$220/hr)
This pushes the average loss into the $2,000+ range, even for cars that seem fine at first.
