Pre-Purchase Inspection

Thinking about buying a used European vehicle? Great! Let The Motor Works take the mystery out of buying that used car. Have our experts perform a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI).  Our PPI can provide you with the peace of mind that you're about to purchase a good used vehicle. Please recognize that all used cars need some service or repairs. And some used cars have fatal flaws that can't be repaired at any price. A PPI can uncover these problems and other issues that could spoil the joy of ownership. And if we give the car a "thumbs up",  we'll provide you with information that will help you negotiate a better deal.

The PPI begins with a test drive at which time we check performance, handling, drivability, and accessories. And once in the shop, the vehicle is visually inspected for abnormalities and evidence of collision repairs. We inspect the engine and drivetrain and we check for all maintenance needs. We also test the vehicle's computers for diagnostic fault codes.

Please note that we do not get involved in any pricing issues. But with the information you get from our PPI, along with an estimate of repairs, you will be well-equipped to make a reasonable, educated offer on the vehicle you want.
