A specialized pre-purchase inspection for classic imports

Import classic and exotic classic cars require special attention and historical knowlege to correctly inspect. The generic "check box list" of a topical visual inspection from a general mechanic or "big box" company seldom catches real trouble. We provide an in depth comprehensive style inspection, from structural to mechanical, body to electrical, and all points in between, for a detailed composite of exacly how the car presents in whole.


Our inspections are not a generic point list; they are a logical approch, taylored around the car in question, and each is designed specificaly to leave no aspect unquestioned.


The examination of the vehicle also focuses on the quality of the body and structure. Regardless of if the vehicle is in original condition, restored condition, or refurbished, the body and framing is carefully examined and assessed.

Experience from repairing them, not walking around museums

In addition to being modern technicians, we are also beyond familiar with all the mechanisms on imported classic cars. Because we service and repair these cars at our shop, we also know what to look for when inspecting them beyond the typical and routine things.

Remember: an inspection is only as good as the inspector, their experience, the methods used, and the ability to communicate the results in an understandable fashion.

Our pre-purchase vehicle inspections can be placed into Four distinct styles: Flat, Balanced, Dynamic, and Fluid. Each style fits the needs of the buyer and the car they are looking to acquire. All our inspections are done with the same super-high level of care and attention to details at all times and come with unlimited client support. They are simply sharpened into four distinct styles to focus in on and deliver the results that matter most to the client.
