Thinking of buying a used car?
You’re not alone. Every year, millions of people across the country buy pre-owned vehicles, hoping to save money and find a reliable ride. But while the price tag might look attractive, the hidden risks often aren’t visible — until it’s too late.
That’s where a pre-purchase auto inspection becomes a game-changer. At Discount Inspection and Brakes (DIB), our FREE Auto Test Program is designed to protect your investment and give you complete peace of mind.
🚗 What Is a Pre-Purchase Auto Inspection?
A pre-purchase inspection is a comprehensive check of the vehicle by a certified automotive technician. At DIB, our Master ASE-certified professionals use specialized tools and years of experience to thoroughly examine the car’s condition — from the engine and brakes to the body, frame, and electrical systems.
Whether you’re buying from a dealership or an individual seller, an inspection ensures you’re not buying someone else’s problem.
🛠️ What Does the Inspection Include?
Our free auto test includes:
- Frame & Body Inspection – Detects hidden crash damage or repairs.
- Mechanical Checkup – Examines engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and more.
- Interior Review – Checks for water damage, wear, and electrical functionality.
- Diagnostic Scan – Pulls error codes that sellers might not disclose.
- Test Drive – Assesses real-world performance, noises, or alignment issues.
Once we complete the inspection, we provide you with a detailed report. You can use this information to negotiate a better price or walk away from a bad deal.
💡 Why You Should Never Skip It
- Avoid Hidden Costs: That “great deal” can become a money pit if it needs $3,000 in repairs.
- Better Negotiation Power: Use our inspection report to demand a fair price or request fixes.
- Peace of Mind: Drive off knowing exactly what you’re getting.
Plus, at DIB, you get the amount you paid for inspection credited toward your next service, thanks to our customer loyalty rewards!
🧠 Final Thoughts
A car is one of the biggest purchases you’ll make — don’t take it lightly. A small investment in a pre-purchase inspection can save you from massive headaches, high repair costs, or safety issues.
