Inspection Options

Independent, third-party inspections with transparent pricing.

Inspection Disclaimer

All prices listed below represent service fees only. The actual inspection fee charged by the mechanic is not included. The average inspection fee for standard vehicles is approximately $120, but it may be higher depending on the vehicle and the shop performing the inspection.

If the vehicle’s check engine light is on, we’ll notify you immediately so you can decide whether to proceed. Our diagnostic scan can detect current and previously cleared codes, revealing issues even if the seller tried to erase them.

Per-Vehicle Pricing: All inspection option prices are charged per vehicle. Each additional vehicle has its own inspection service fee and its own mechanic’s fee. Pricing may vary depending on vehicle type.
