What is a pre-purchase inspection, and why get one?

A pre-purchase inspection is an independent mechanical check of a used vehicle before you buy it. Revit Auto inspects cars, trucks, and vans across Maryland and the DMV, uncovering engine problems, hidden damage, and repair needs so you can negotiate a fair price or walk away from a bad deal with confidence.

A Pre-Purchase Inspection Offers Several Key Advantages

  • Negotiation power: an independent report gives you real leverage on price
  • True value assessment: an unbiased read on condition, so you do not overpay
  • Cost savings: a history report shows accidents and title status, but misses fixable mechanical problems an inspection catches. See what downtime costs with our Downtime Cost Calculator
  • Peace of mind: buy knowing you are not inheriting someone else’s breakdown
