Pre-Purchase Inspection
In Simple Terms:
Buying a used truck can be exciting, but it’s also important to know what you’re getting. A pre-purchase inspection is like getting a professional check-up for the truck before you sign on the dotted line.
How do you know you need it?
You’ve been casually browsing online classifieds for a few weeks, maybe even longer, looking to upgrade your current diesel workhorse. You finally spot one that catches your eye – a gleaming Ram 3500 with the Cummins you’ve always wanted, and the price seems almost too good to be true.
The seller is a private individual a couple of hours away, and they’re eager to make a deal. You’re excited about the potential, but a little voice in the back of your head whispers about hidden problems. You’ve heard stories from buddies at the job site about costly repairs on ‘deals’ that turned sour.
You think to yourself, ‘What if there’s something major wrong with the transmission or the engine that I can’t see just by kicking the tires and taking it for a short drive?’ That gnawing feeling of uncertainty – that’s your trigger. You realize you need an expert to take a deep dive before you hand over your hard-earned cash.
What you can expect from us:
Our Red Seal certified technicians provide comprehensive pre-purchase inspections to give you a clear picture of the truck’s condition. We conduct a thorough visual inspection, checking everything from the body and frame to the tires and lights. We also perform a detailed mechanical inspection, including the engine (listening for unusual noises, checking for leaks), transmission (checking for smooth shifting), brakes, suspension, steering, and exhaust system.
We’ll also perform a computer scan to check for any stored trouble codes. As experienced diesel mechanics familiar with all makes and models, including Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax, we know what to look for in a used diesel truck, potential problem areas, and can provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings. This empowers you to make an informed decision and potentially negotiate a better price or avoid purchasing a truck with hidden issues.
