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.Click Here to Get a Discount on Your Inspection!

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.

A Real Used Car Inspection


Here at Test Drive Technologies we believe that a few core things should take place when providing you a detailed pre-purchase used car or truck inspection…

Firstly – You should be able to speak directly with the auto inspector… If an inspection company says you can’t talk with the guy or gal that inspected the used car for you then I wouldn’t trust that company with my vehicle purchase. You need to know the person who is inspecting the vehicle for you and know they can answer your questions if they arise.
Secondly – The used car or truck you are having inspected should at the very least have each wheel lifted off the ground a couple inches to take the pressure off the suspension to check the bearings, tie-rods, balljoints and shocks. Companies that on visually look at the suspension or rely on a test drive are not providing good service to their customers at all… Choose an auto inspection company that lifts cars onsite.
Third – Photos count isn’t everything but you need enough photos to see what you are buying… Don’t choose a used car inspector that only provides 20 or 30 photos.. Choose a company that also includes HD video of the test drive, options working and a video of the body so you have proof that stuff is working before you buy the used car or truck.
Forth – Know exactly what you are paying to have them inspect… Many companies offer “sample inspections” while some other companies offer their complete inspection list online available to the public on their website so you can see what type of inspection you will be paying for…
