Why It Matters

Why get a pre-purchase inspection?

So, you are ready to buy that “pristine” used car. Wouldn't it be nice to find out before you dole out your hard-earned dollars if the vehicle is truly worth the price? At AutoScope, we routinely provide this service to our customers, and some have saved as much as $10,000 in post-purchase repair costs by effectively negotiating the purchase price because they have advance knowledge of the pending problems that require repair.

Once you have identified the vehicle you want to purchase, but before negotiating the price, bring (or have brought) to us the prospect vehicle for a thorough examination. We will perform a comprehensive series of tests on the vehicle, and provide you with a written report, as well as a rough estimate of repair costs. Armed with this information, you can then negotiate down the purchase price, which should totally (or even partially) pay for the repairs after purchase.

Frequently Asked

Answers to common inspection questions.

How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
Plan on a five-hour comprehensive review. That covers the 125-point inspection, the diagnostic scan, the road test, and the write-up — the car is with us for the day rather than for a quick once-over.
What do I actually receive at the end?
A written report on what we found, along with a rough estimate of repair costs. That estimate is the part most people use at the negotiating table.
When should I schedule the inspection?
Once you've identified the vehicle you want, but before you negotiate the price. Knowing what needs repair in advance is what gives you room to negotiate it down.
Do I have to bring the car myself?
Not necessarily — you can bring the prospect vehicle to us, or arrange to have it brought in. Many sellers and dealers will release a car for an independent inspection; give us a call and we'll talk through the logistics for your situation.
Which vehicles do you inspect?
European makes are what we specialize in — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and MINI. If you're looking at something else, call and ask.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes — a five-hour inspection needs a scheduled bay. Book online at whichever location is closer to you, or call the shop directly: Plano at (972) 867-7467, White Rock at (214) 320-8280.

I recently took my car to Auto Scope European Car Care, and I can't say enough about how amazing the service was. From the moment I called for a quote, David, who assisted me, was incredible. He provided excellent communication every step of the way, from the initial phone call to the in-person drop-off.

We recently moved from Austin and were looking for a reliable, honest place to take our temperamental BMW and Audi. From the first visit we clearly understood why Autoscope has won multiple awards for integrity. We feel very taken care of here — they are quick, communicative and trustworthy.
