An Inspector Specialist, Not a General Checklist
Since 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.
Because we service cars, we also know what to look for when inspecting them beyond the typical and routine things. Inspections also include more than simply scanning the "universal" OBDII codes, as we have the factory-level tools to collect all the important data in all the electronic controllers in almost any car.
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 un-questioned.
Inspections Are Done: In-House, On-Site, and Mobile
We perform used car pre-purchase inspections (PPI) with an
in-house inspection at our facility, an
on-site inspection by traveling to dealerships and car lots, or a
mobile inspection at a private seller, for all local, out-of-state, and international clients. We can travel to the location of the car you wish to purchase and inspect it. We also offer
extended-travel inspections for vehicles located outside the Dallas Fort Worth area, or outside the state of Texas.
We inspect everywhere. We have inspected at places such as: Streetside Classics in multiple states, Triple F in Fort Worth, Earth MotorCars in Carrollton, RPM Garage and Tactical Fleet in Dallas, St. Louis Auto Museum, Gateway Classics in multiple states, Classic Car Liquidators and PC Classics in Sherman, AutoPark Dallas, Classy Cars of L.A, The Viper Exchange in Tomball, ProTeam Corvette in Ohio, Volo Auto Museum in Illinois, Fuzzy Dice in Philadelphia, Classic Concourse Arizona, Vintage Motors of Sarasota, American Dream Machines in Iowa, Porsche Norwell in Massachusetts, Fast Lane Classics in Missouri, RK Motors in Charlotte, NC., and Mecum Auction site locations in multiple states to name only a few, and not to mention countless Mobile inspections performed at private sellers accross the nation.
We have inspected cars and trucks at a multitude of dearlerships and car lots in and around the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding area.
We Inspect All Types of Cars and Trucks
We inspect all types of vehicles from exotic cars to imports, classics to antiques, muscle cars to domestics, vintage cars to kit cars, and custom set-ups to resto-mods. Most cookie-cutter inspections use the same generic check box list for all the cars they inspect. We go in depth on a car by car, platform by platform basis, looking at all the critical details that relate to that particular model.
Knowing
tire tread depth is good, but knowing your inspector checked into model-specific problems for factual answers is better. Many times, it's what is not covered on a visual general inspection that leads you to believe no problem was found, when in fact, a problem existed but went unreported.
An inspection is only as good as the inspector, the methods used, and the ability to communicate the results in an understandable fashion.
Our Major Styles of Used Car Inspections
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 aquire.
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.
|
Go car shopping with your inspector! Fluid-style inspections are perfomed with the client present, either on-site, mobile, or at multiple locations of each. The fluid-style inspection is meant to handle multiple vehicles in an ordered list with an initial check-over to find a quality vehicle to fully inspect. If the client likes the findings of the initial fluid-style check, it gets a full inspection. If not, the fluid-style check moves on to the next vehicle on the client's list. This reduces the cost of inspecting multiple vehicles when looking for a quality vehicle to inspect on a list of vehicles a client is looking into. That's what a fluid-style inspection is all about, not wasting time and money fully inspecting unsatisfactory vehicles, but finding a satisfactory vehicle to inspect and purchase. Multiple vehicles that pass the fluid-style check-over may also get fully inspected and compared at a clients' request.
The fluid-style list flexes with the vehicles' outcome and pivots around the clients' wishes in order to deliver the information in real time, with the client present, and right on the spot to make accurate decisions.
| flat car inspections are performed in-house with the client present and are meant for mid to high-mileage main-stream cars. This inspection allows us to see the current overall condition mechanically, structurally, and electrically. We can see the conditions of the body and interior, how the car was generally cared for over the years, and what recent work may have been done.
These inspections are meant to be less expensive, but highly effective and
instantly deliver the information you need to determine whether you want to purchase the car.
| balanced car inspections are perfomed in-house, on-site, or mobile and either with, or without the client present. These inspections are meant for younger, lower mileage, and/or more premium luxury cars. The balanced inspection costs a bit more than the flat inspection as they take more time to complete and usually require travel. The balanced inspection gives us the opportunity to remove more paneling and delve much further into electronic sub-systems and controller data.
This inspection is suited to cars that are fully loaded with major ammenities like infotainment systems and convertable tops.
| dynamic car inspections are perfomed in-house, on-site, or mobile and usually without the client present. Dynamic inspections are meant for exotic cars, high-end imports, classic cars and antique cars. The dynamic inspection allows us the time needed to capture a very clear picture of how the car presents at the time of inspection. This inspection costs a bit more than the balanced inspection as it takes more time to complete. We are able to snap-shot and download all the data out of the cars electronic controllers and sift through it for anomalies that may not show up as codes in any controller, or in the univeresal OBDII section. On classics, we have more time to assess the quality of the restoration, if any, and concentrate more on the aging of components.
This inspection is named dynamic as it fully dives into all the details in order to build a complete composite on a much more extreme level.
Communication is Critical
I offer unlimited support, communications, and advice with all pre-purchase inspections. It's important for an inspector to speak directly with you. Reading inspection reports often times raises questions with my clients, and as such, I communicate directly with them after each inspection. I explain in detail my findings and what those findings mean.
I am always available to talk about the inspection and answer any questions. At times, clients will have concerns and questions days after the inspection and I am there to support my clients as they need it nearly 24/7.

Follow The Briefcase
We inspect everywhere. We have inspected at places such as: Streetside Classics in multiple states, Triple F in Fort Worth, Earth MotorCars in Carrollton, RPM Garage and Tactical Fleet in Dallas, St. Louis Auto Museum, Gateway Classics in multiple states, Classic Car Liquidators and PC Classics in Sherman, AutoPark Dallas, Classy Cars of L.A, The Viper Exchange in Tomball, ProTeam Corvette in Ohio, Volo Auto Museum in Illinois, Fuzzy Dice in Philadelphia, Classic Concourse Arizona, Vintage Motors of Sarasota, American Dream Machines in Iowa, Porsche Norwell in Massachusetts, Fast Lane Classics in Missouri, RK Motors in Charlotte, NC., and Mecum Auction site locations in multiple states to name only a few, and not to mention countless Mobile inspections performed at private sellers accross the nation.
We have inspected cars and trucks at a multitude of dearlerships and car lots in and around the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding area.
Nationwide Car Transport and Temporary Car Storage
After we inspect a car for you, we continue to work for you if you need us. If you purchase the car, then the next events are to house and/or ship the car to you. Drewmotive can help by taking possession of the car and storing it protected inside at our facility, until a transporter becomes available to deliver it to you, or you may pick it up on your schedule.
For our international clients, temporary storage is incredibly usefull. Importation permits and customs paperwork takes time and during this time period, the vehicle will need to be stored both protected and insured in a controlled enviroment without the possiblity of damage occuring after the sale.
Our facility is smoke-free, completely fenced, fully alarmed, and under video surveilance. We have access to a nationwide transporter that we routinely trust with our transportation needs.
Expert Witness and Automotive Consulting
Drew and Drewmotive also provide inspections, consulting, analysis, and expert witness testimony for product liability, legal disputes, informal and formal discovery, litigation proceedings, demand letters, and civil suits and torts.
For further inforation into our services on this subject, please contact us.
Mobile Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection
We can inspect private party sales with a mobile pre-purchase vehicle inspection. Although a private seller is always wecome to bring the vehicle to us for your inspection, it isn't always practical to do so. Some vehicles can't be driven that distance or the seller is reluctant. This is especially true for exotic cars, cars that have super low mileage on them, and cars that are currently in, or have been sitting in storage. Much like On-site Inspections, but usually without a lift, we can perform the inspection Mobile
with our equipment out "in the feild". Drewmotive can go to where the car is and inspect it.
On-Site Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection
Dealers and car lots often times can bring us the vehicle, but when they cannot, we go to them to perform the inspection. We can travel On-Site and perform the inspection at the dealer or lot, and in fact, we travel all over the place. We frequently inspect around the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex and of course, well beyond it.
Some inspections are out of state and extended travel is needed to inspect for our clients.
Extended-Travel On-Site and Mobile Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection
Extended travel inspections take us beyond the DFW area and frequently outside of the state of Texas. We inspect in-state vehicles, out-of-state vehicles, and if the client needs it, even outside the country. Some inspections require long distance driving, such as around the Austin, Houston, and San Antonio areas. Other times air travel is required, such as our recent inspections in Detroit, Colorado Springs (where our photo above was taken), Boston, or even Chicago.
We have the ability to schedule and accomplish inspections of this nature cost-effectively. We can travel and perform extended-travel inspections both On-site or Mobile and we travel all over the place for clients. We carry out extended-travel inspections for local clients, in-state clients, out-of-state clients, and clients that are outside the US (international).
