Classic Car & Used Car Inspections for St Louis Missouri

Buying any type of vehicle might be one of the most expensive purchases you ever make… Buying a used car or classic car comes with many choices and decisions which must be made both before and after the purchase. One of the major concerns when buying a used car or classic car is how reliable will this used car or classic car be and what condition is it really in? We help you answer that question before you finalize your purchase and it is too late.
Test Drive Technologies provides a full line of vehicle inspection services including late model used cars, classic cars, collector cars and light & HD trucks, RV & motorhomes and we also inspect luxury and high performance cars such as Corvettes and Vipers. Here’s how it works…
You do your research and find the perfect vehicle within your budget and with the options you want… You might find this vehicle on eBay, AutoTrader or Craigslist and then you send us the link to that vehicle using our secure quote request form. We then reply to you through email with a firm price of how much it will cost and we also send you a PayPal Invoice at the same time. Once we receive your payment we give the seller or dealership a call to schedule the inspection… Most of our inspections are done in a few days. Results are normally ready for viewing the following morning after the inspection. Here is what comes with a pre-purchase inspection…
- 400 Unique Inspection Checkpoints – You get the exact checklist we used to inspect the vehicle and we also write a paragraph style report that is easier to understand. We get that not all people are not mechanics but still need to know the real condition of the car.
- 100 to 200 Photos – We take as many photos as possible so you can see exactly what we see during the inspection. We don’t just take photos of damaged areas, we provide around 3 angles of each panel and tons of undercarriage photos.
- Full HD Video – If a picture is worth a 1000 words then HD video tells the complete story… We use HD video to show you the true condition of the body (some imperfections do not show up in photos but will in video), you also get a video of all the electrical options working such as lights, windows, radio, seats and mirrors and you also get a video (WITH SOUND) of the engine starting, running and revving up so you can see and hear first hand its condition.
- Verifiable Independent Opinion – We are able to maintain our 100% independence of dealerships, repair shops and insurance companies because we ONLY inspect vehicles for consumers and law firms… We have ZERO ties to automobile manufactures or banks unlike many of our competitors.
1970 Buick GS 455 Convertible Classic Car Pre-Purchase Inspection – St Louis Car Museum

This vehicle is in exceptional condition for its age… It has been well restored with a quality paint job and interior replacement as well as attention to detail of the small items such as buttons and knobs which make this car much nicer than most of its kind. The engine, transmission and driveline are in great condition, the tires are new, the car drives and handles very nicely. There was only 2 areas in the paint that needs attention which are in the right and left rear corners of the trunk near the convertible top where the paint has cracked slightly… The heater and air conditioner compressor is working well but the system needs recharged and should blow cold air just fine. All the power windows and locks are in working order and the convertible top works well but is a bit slow which it might just need lubricated and the system bled or filled with fluid.

This vehicle is in average condition for its age… This car will likely make a good driver after putting a little bit of work into it. Some trouble areas with this vehicle are the paint and body finish, power options such as the passenger side window and the heater and AC vents being stuck on the floor setting… The engine and transmission are strong and it runs nicely. I will note that the tachometer is a little bit off comparing it to the digital readout from my test device direct on the engine. The charging system is performing well and all the options were working (except the passenger window) at the time of inspection.
