About this service
Pre-Purchase Car Inspection
Buying a used car is one of the biggest purchases most people make on the least information. A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) from Novo Repairs gives you an independent, professional assessment before you hand over any money — and because we're mobile, we come to the seller's location, whether it's a private party in your neighborhood or a dealership lot across town. Our certified technician inspects the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tires, fluids, and electronics, scans the onboard computer for stored and pending trouble codes, and checks for evidence of accident damage or hidden leaks. You get a clear, honest report of the car's real condition and any repairs it will need — so you can negotiate with confidence or walk away from a costly mistake. We work for you, not the seller.
Common Issues We See
Buying from a private seller
Private sales are as-is with no warranty, so an independent inspection is your only protection.
Considering a dealership used car
Dealer lots vary widely; a PPI confirms whether the car matches the listing.
Out-of-area or online purchase
We inspect a car you can't easily see in person and report its true condition.
High-mileage or older vehicle
Catches deferred maintenance and looming repairs before they become your problem.
Negotiating the price
A documented list of needed repairs is leverage to bring the price down.
