Pre-Purchase Inspection — FAQs
Can you inspect a car before I buy it?
Yes — that's exactly what a pre-purchase inspection is for. Bring the vehicle in (or arrange it with the seller) and we'll give you an independent, honest report on its real condition before you commit.
How much is a pre-purchase inspection?
It's a flat, upfront fee — a fraction of what an undiscovered problem could cost you. Call (406) 493-0019 for current pricing and to schedule around the seller's availability.
What if you find problems?
You get a written report with the findings and an idea of repair costs. That's leverage: many buyers use it to negotiate the price down or walk away from a bad deal entirely.
