Pre-Purchase Inspection in Kirkwood, MO

Found a used car in Kirkwood? We come to it — dealer lot or private seller — inspect it properly, and send you a written report with photos before you hand over any money.

Buying a used car in Kirkwood

Manchester Road runs straight through Kirkwood — one of the region's long-standing auto retail corridors. Dealer cars look their best on the lot, so an independent set of eyes before you sign is the cheapest insurance you can buy.

We cover Kirkwood under ZIP code 63122, along with the rest of the greater St. Louis metro.

What we check

  • Engine, fluids, belts, and hoses
  • Brakes, tires, steering, and suspension
  • Battery, charging, and electrical
  • Leaks, rust, and prior-accident signs
  • Warning lights and stored diagnostic codes
  • A written report with photos, sent after the inspection

You get a written report with photos after the inspection — something to hold the seller to, or to walk away with.
