Buying from a private seller
No shop behind the sale. An inspection is your only protection.
A thorough check of a used car before you buy it, at the seller’s location, with a plain-English report of what it needs. Done at your home or workplace, anywhere in Lynchburg and the towns around it.

Any one of these is worth a call. Two or more, don't wait on it.

At the seller's location, wherever the car is sitting. That means a driveway, a farm lane or a yard, and we go out to Forest, Goode, Amherst and the surrounding areas to do it.
It helps but it is not required. We will go through what we found with you either way, in plain terms rather than a list of part numbers.
We tell you what the vehicle needs, what is urgent and what can wait, and you make the decision. Being honest about a car's condition is the whole point of the visit.
We can where the seller agrees to it, so check with them first. Some lots allow an outside mechanic on site and some do not.
Call with the year, make and model and we will quote a price and a time window before anything is booked. Ask what the inspection covers for that vehicle when you call, since the depth of the check depends on access and whether a test drive is allowed.
Engine oil and filter, plus every fluid under the hood checked and topped off, done where the car is parked.
Pads, rotors, calipers and brake fluid, measured before and after and replaced where the car sits.
A full code scan, live data and a hands-on check of the part the code points to, so you get the real cause before any parts are bought.
Same service, same price, anywhere on the list.
Send this and we'll call you back with a price and a time. No charge to ask, and nothing is booked until you say yes.
One call, a written price, and a truck on the way. Driveway, work lot or roadside.
