Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection in Holland and Zeeland, MI

Westside Service offers exceptional Holland and Zeeland auto repair services. We offer comprehensive auto care in Holland and Zeeland, including pre-purchase vehicle inspections.

When considering a purchase of a used car, we highly recommend having the vehicle inspected by professionals, before you sign on the dotted line. Pre purchase inspections at Westside Service are performed by highly skilled technicians, certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). We will send you an electronic copy of the inspection results, and our friendly service advisors will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and to discuss any issues we may find during the inspection. With the prices of used cars at an all-time high, it’s prudent to protect your investment. The cost of a pre-purchase inspection is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes from having the facts and up-to-date information about the condition of the vehicle. If we find issues with the vehicle, you can use this information to negotiate a better price, to ask the seller to fix the problems before selling the car, or to decline the purchase if it turns out that the vehicle has serious problems.

Used car can be a great choice, but it is a significant purchase, that’s why we recommend professional pre purchase inspection – modern cars, full of sensors and electronics, have grown too complex for the do-it-yourself inspection. Professional level code scanners cost thousands of dollars, and knowing how to read the codes, and where to look for additional information, requires training and experience that only comes from working on the cars day-in-and-day-out.
