Know more before you buy.
Bring a prospective purchase to MGM for an evaluation. Share the listing, vehicle details and any concerns before you commit.
Buying a used car? Know exactly what you're buying.
If you are looking to buy a vehicle and want it inspected before purchase, bring it in for a thorough and complete evaluation. We test-drive the car, hoist it on a lift, inspect it for mechanical and electrical issues, search for any hint of prior accidents or repairs, and verify the vehicle has not been tampered with.
You get a final assessment, recommendation and consultation on the vehicle — so you can make your decision fully informed about its condition.
The cost of our complete inspection is $50. Schedule the inspection before you shake hands on the purchase — bring the vehicle in while the seller still expects an inspection.
We also occasionally acquire vehicles from trusted customers that are available for purchase — fully inspected and serviced before sale. Call or email to see what's in store.

How to prepare for your visit
- Arrange with the seller to bring the vehicle while purchase is still under discussion.

- Note your questions about the vehicle so we cover them in the consultation.
Common questions about used car inspection.
I found a car I would like to buy, does your firm conduct used car inspections?+
Absolutely. Bring it in for a thorough and complete evaluation: test drive, lift inspection for mechanical and electrical issues, a search for prior accidents/repairs, and tamper verification — then a final assessment, recommendation and consultation. The cost of our complete inspection is $50.
How long does an inspection take?+
Inspections involve a test drive and a lift inspection, so allow adequate time — call the shop to schedule and confirm timing.
Does the inspection guarantee the car has no problems?+
No inspection eliminates every risk. Ours is a thorough professional evaluation that makes you fully informed about the vehicle's condition — and we consult with you on the findings.
Do you currently have any used vehicles for sale?+
We do not operate as sellers of used cars, but we occasionally acquire vehicles from trusted customers that are available for purchase — inspected and serviced before sale. Call or email to see what we have in store.
Can the seller be present during the inspection?+
Discuss it when you schedule. The evaluation and consultation are for the customer who requested the inspection.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem?+
You get the findings, a recommendation and a consultation — so you can renegotiate, ask for repairs, or walk away fully informed.
