Make a Smart Investment: Why a Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection Matters

Buying a new or used vehicle is a big decision—and often one of the largest investments you’ll make. Whether you’re purchasing from a dealership or a private seller, it’s essential to have all the facts before signing on the dotted line. That’s where Burlington Automotive’s Pre-Purchase Inspection Service comes in.

What is a Pre-Purchase Inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a qualified technician to assess the condition of a vehicle before you buy it. At Burlington Automotive, our ASE-certified team inspects every critical component of the vehicle, from under the hood to under the chassis.

We check:

-Mechanical systems (engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, etc.)

-Electrical systems (battery, alternator, lights, dashboard diagnostics)

-Structural integrity (frame condition, signs of previous collision repairs)

-Tire and brake wear

-Fluids and filters

-HVAC systems

-And more

Our goal is to uncover any hidden issues that could cost you later—before you commit to the purchase.

Why It’s Worth It

A vehicle might look great on the outside and even run smoothly during a quick test drive. But unseen issues can lead to unexpected and expensive repairs shortly after purchase. Our pre-purchase inspection gives you a clear and honest picture of the car’s condition, so you can:
