$180 flat. You'll get a call or text back, usually within a few hours.

How it works

STEP 1

Send the listing

Tell me the car, the price and where it's parked. If it's obviously wrong, I'll say so before you pay me anything.

STEP 2

I go to the car

Fully mobile across Calgary. You don't need to take an afternoon off, and the seller doesn't need to drive anywhere.

STEP 3

You get the truth

A plain-language verdict on condition, what it needs now, what it'll need soon, and whether the price is fair.

Common questions

Do you come to me, or do I bring the car to you?

I come to the car. Home, the seller's driveway, a dealership lot, wherever it happens to be in Calgary. Mobile is the whole point.

What exactly gets checked?

Engine and transmission behaviour, frame and undercarriage, rust and previous repairs, brakes, tires, suspension, steering, fluids, leaks, electronics and fault codes, plus whatever the service records tell me. You get a written summary of what I found.

Is a pre-purchase inspection worth it on a cheap car?

Especially on a cheap car. The cheaper the vehicle, the more likely the seller is hiding something expensive. One $180 inspection that stops you buying a $9,000 problem pays for itself fifty times over.

Do you inspect cars for out-of-province registration?

Yes. Alberta out-of-province inspections and safety inspections are $100 and also done mobile. Say so in the form and I'll book the right one.

How soon can you get there?

Often the same day, usually within a couple of days. Used cars move fast, so tell me the listing and I'll prioritise it.
