Common Questions

  • Do you inspect gas and diesel trucks, not just hybrids and EVs?

    Yes. The inspection and report are built around your specific concerns on any vehicle, gas, diesel, hybrid, or electric, from compact cars to light-duty pickups, SUVs, and vans. For commercial trucks over 14,000 lb, our sister business VetFleet handles heavy-duty inspections and Clean Truck Check.

  • What does a pre-purchase inspection check?

    A pre-purchase inspection checks a vehicle's observable condition, systems, and available diagnostic data before you buy — body, undercarriage, suspension, and a full OBD-II scan, documented with photos and a written report. Hybrid and EV vehicles get vehicle-reported battery and charging data added within the same visit when supported.

  • How long does a mobile pre-purchase inspection take?

    Most single-vehicle inspections are completed at the seller's location in one visit; exact timing depends on vehicle access, powertrain, and scope confirmed before the appointment. We plan the appointment window with you in advance, not on arrival.

  • What's checked in a hybrid or EV battery inspection?

    We check vehicle-reported hybrid, EV, charging, and battery-system warning indicators, available scan data and parameters, accessible 12-volt battery condition, and visible cables, connectors, and cooling components — within the standard visit, not a separate appointment. This is not automatically a laboratory battery-capacity test; any unavailable test is stated plainly in the report.

  • Can I get more than one car inspected in one visit?

    Yes — multi-vehicle work is confirmed case by case based on vehicle type, access, location, and timing, using one consistent reporting approach across the vehicles compared in the same trip.
