Pre Purchase Inspections
Why get stuck with a lemon when we can check it for you?
Buying a second hand car can come with it's fair share of anxieties. Is it actually in good condition? Are there any problems? Does it have a major service coming up? Why are they really selling? And all of the other questions you have when looking at buying a used car.
