Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our vehicle inspection services.
Why do I need a pre-purchase inspection?
Purchasing an automobile, whether new or used, entails a significant financial investment on your behalf. When buying a new vehicle, there are several sources of information and reviews to help you understand the car’s quality and performance. Alternatively, there aren’t many options for a used one. A used car’s history – whether it suffered major accident damages, any corrective paint jobs, bad repair work, any other significant replacement, or inherent problems – will not be seen through a visual examination due to many users and different purchasers. As a result, purchasing a used automobile may be stressful and feel like a gamble that necessitates extensive knowledge of various car types. Fortunately, pre-purchase vehicle inspection services like ours can assist you in making the best selection possible.

Specially, Greasemonkey Inspectors also provide the buyer with a repair estimate. This is a thorough estimate that includes the cost of spare parts as well as the mechanical charges. With this in hand, the buyer has the upper hand when negotiating with the seller.
How far in advance should I schedule an inspection?
A day’s notice is usually sufficient, sometimes it could be the same day depending on the location of the vehicle and seller’s availability.
When will I receive my report after I place my order?
After you placed your online purchase, our certified inspector will contact your seller to confirm the vehicle’s availability and schedule an inspection. To conduct the inspection, the inspector will proceed straight to the vehicle. Inspection can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the state of the vehicle and the type of inspection you select (Basic, Standard, or Premium). You will receive the report the same day as the inspection is done.
What's the difference between the Basic, Standard and Premium inspection packages?
A basic is a summary of a vehicle’s overall mechanical health. Standard inspection is for hybrids & electric vehicles, whereas Premium inspection is more detailed and includes additional testing with different tools. More information is available on the service page.
What if they sell the vehicle which I booked an inspection?
If the vehicle sells before we arrive, we will hold your order while you search for another vehicle. When you find another vehicle, you’d like us to inspect. We’ll transfer the information and dispatch our inspector immediately.
Will I have the chance to speak with the inspector after receiving the report?
Yes, you may have a verbal version of the car assessment report. In this situation, you can speak with one of our agents or a knowledgeable customer service professional over the phone to go over the report. If you decide to proceed with the purchase, we will also give you with extra critical information during the conversation.
Will you give the seller a copy of the report?
No. We make every effort to hide any difficulties from the seller. Unless something big occurs during the inspection or the seller is hanging over the inspector, our inspectors are trained to make the seller believe that everything is going smoothly throughout the inspection.
