We Inspect All Types of Resto-Mods
We inspect nearly any resto-mod or custom build
We inspect all types of resto-mods. Most cookie-cutter inspections use the same generic point check box list for all the vehicles they inspect. We go in depth, looking at all the critical details that relate to that particular resto-mod, the powertrain installed, the engine managment it's built with, and the products used to modify it. |
 |
An Inspector Specialist, Not a General Checklist
A specialized pre-purchase inspection for resto-mods
Resto-mods, pro-touring, and custom builds require special attention and knowlege to 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 our clients with an in depth comprehensive based inspection for a detailed composite of exacly how the car presents in whole. |
 |
The
examination of the vehicle
, all custom work, kit installation, framing, welding, geometry, and placement of componentry is carefully examined and assessed. |
 |
Experience from repairing, modifying, and working with them
We are familiar with all engine management systems, trans management systems, and injection and spark controls including: MSD, Holley, Edlebrock, Borla, and GM Connect & Cruise. If the powertrain is a drop-out from a factory vehicle, we can also identify it and inspect it accodingly. Does the resto-mod you like have the latest modern drop-out powertrain or a GenV LT DI crate motor? We know what fuel management works well here and can assess the build quality and products employed. |
 |
Because we service and repair these cars, we also know what to look for when inspecting them beyond the typical and routine things. Inspections also include scanning the OBDII port (if the build has one) for codes, computer identity, and data assessment.
 |
 |
Our inspections are not a generic point list; they are a logical approch taylored around the custom resto-mod in question, and each is designed specificaly to leave no aspect of the build unquestioned.
