We Provide Pre Purchase Inspections for Day-to-Day Drivers AND Classics

Purchasing a classic car is akin to owning a piece of automotive history, but such treasures often come with their own unique set of challenges and potential issues. Before you finalize your purchase, it’s imperative to conduct a thorough classic car pre-purchase inspection to ensure that your vintage or classic car isn’t just a stunning addition to your collection, but also doesn’t have any verifiable flaws from our scans. Our comprehensive classic car inspection service is tailored to address the specific needs of vintage vehicles just as well as other daily drivers, covering everything from the aesthetics of the bodywork to the intricacies of the engine mechanics.

Why Classic Car Inspections are Crucial

Classic cars are inherently complex due to their age and the different standards of manufacturing during their production years. Issues like part availability, previous undisclosed repairs, or hidden damage can significantly affect both the value and functionality of the vehicle. An expert pre buy car inspection helps mitigate these risks by thoroughly assessing each critical aspect of the car, ensuring you know exactly what you are purchasing.

What Our Regular & Classic Car Inspection Includes

Our inspection service is meticulously designed to cover every crucial aspect of a classic car, ensuring no stone is left unturned:

1. Exterior Inspection:
   • Body and Paint: We assess the condition of the car’s paint and body, checking for any signs of scratches, cracks, dents, or rust that can affect the car’s structural integrity and aesthetic value.
   • Underbody: A crucial examination that looks for rust or damage on the car’s underframe which could compromise its safety or lead to costly future repairs.
   • Tires and Wheels: Condition checks to ensure they are safe and period-appropriate if originality is crucial.
   • Glass: We examine all glass components for cracks or other flaws that could pose safety risks or detract from the car’s value.
2. Historical Integrity:
   • Accident and Flood Damage: We check the car’s history to identify any past major damage from accidents or flooding, which could affect the vehicle’s performance and longevity.
3. Electrical Systems:
   • From operational checks of the lights and air conditioning system to gauges and other electrical items, we ensure that everything is working as it should be.
4. Interior Assessment:
   • The interior of a classic car tells a story of its own. We check the upholstery, mats, headliner, and seat belts for any signs of wear or damage that could require restoration.
5. Mechanical Soundness:
   • Engine and Transmission.
   • Drive-line Components
   • Steering, Suspension, and Brakes
   • Exhaust System
6. Under the Hood:
   • A visual inspection of the engine and other under-hood items, noting fluid levels, any oil leaks, and checking for missing parts that could affect the car’s operation.
7. Road Test:
   • If conditions permit, we conduct a road test to assess the performance of the entire drivetrain under operational conditions. This test can reveal issues not apparent when the car is stationary.
