Why an Inspection is Highly Recommended Before Buying Used Cars in Chicago

If you are on the hunt for a “new” or “used” vehicle, one of the best things you can do to protect yourself from buying a lemon is partner with a trustworthy mechanic in Chicago. Finding a used car that is in the condition described, with no hidden issues, and a clean title, is easy with help from a mechanic. The certified mechanics here at Otobots Chicago always recommend getting an inspection before signing on the dotted line. Here’s why.

Inspections Are Well Worth the Investment

Many consumers do not opt for a pre-purchase vehicle inspection because they don’t want to spend the money. They do not realize the price of an inspection is just a fraction of what the costs for repairs could be if they buy a lemon. If the dealer or private party is covering up a major problem with the vehicle, and you don’t discover it before signing the title in your name, you could be looking at a bad investment. Avoid a money pit by instead paying the minor cost of an inspection.

Inspections Are Readily Available

One of the main reasons buyers fail to get an inspection performed before purchasing a used car is that they don’t realize quality car inspections are readily available. Otobots’ mobile mechanics will come directly to your location and perform an inspection upon request. This solves the issue of taking the vehicle away from the private party or dealer, making it ultra-convenient for you. With help from the right mechanic, an inspection can be fast, simple, and revealing.

Inspections Put You in the Power Seat

An inspection will uncover any major or minor issues with a vehicle, such as flood damage, a previous car accident, or poor repair work from the past that the dealer did not disclose. Finding a problem before you buy will make you an educated, informed buyer. You will be in the driver’s seat during negotiations and can make sure you get a fair price on the vehicle according to its condition. To schedule a mobile or garage inspection for a used car before you buy, contact Otobots.
