What it is
Overview
Before you buy a used car or truck, we meet you at the seller's location and do a scan-tool-based inspection. We look for stored, pending and history codes, check readiness monitors (recently cleared codes show up here), review module faults, and do a visual walk-around and test drive where allowed.
You get honest findings so you can negotiate or walk away.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you tell if codes were recently cleared?
Often yes. Incomplete readiness monitors are a strong clue.
Do you check diesel emissions equipment?
Yes. We check that EGR, DPF, and DEF systems are present and functioning; tampered or deleted trucks can be costly and hard to legally register.
Will you inspect without me there?
Often yes, with seller cooperation. We'll send findings afterward.
Is this a guarantee the vehicle has no problems?
No inspection can find everything, but it greatly reduces risk.
How far will you travel?
Within our El Paso, Las Cruces, and DFW areas. Call to confirm.
