About

Six years on the other side of the counter.

I spent six years as a technician on a dealership service floor. I know what gets fixed properly, what gets covered up, and what gets quietly handed to the next buyer.

Why I Started This

Nobody was working for the buyer.

On a service floor you see the same thing over and over: someone buys a car, drives it for three weeks, and brings it in with a problem that was there the whole time. By then the money has moved and the seller has stopped answering.

The information gap is the entire problem. The seller knows the car. The buyer does not. A pre-purchase inspection closes that gap for a fraction of what getting it wrong costs.

So I do exactly one thing: I look at the car you are about to buy, and I tell you what is actually there. I do not do repairs. I do not sell parts. I have no relationship with the seller. The only person I answer to is the one writing the check.

Certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, the industry standard for technician competency.

6+ years dealership

Six years diagnosing and repairing vehicles on a dealership service floor, across a wide range of makes and model years.

Fully mobile

Dealer lots, private driveways, auction yards and parking lots across LA, Orange County and the Inland Empire.

How I Work

No hedging.

I tell you to walk when you should walk

Plenty of inspections end with a recommendation not to buy. That is the inspection doing its job, not a wasted fee.

I do not pad the findings

A good car gets reported as a good car. Manufacturing problems to justify the invoice is how the industry lost people’s trust in the first place.

I explain it in plain English

You should not need a technical background to understand what is wrong with a car you are about to buy. Call me after you read the report and we will go through it.
