3 benefits of a used car inspection

Congratulations, you’re ready to purchase your next set of pre-owned wheels. Before you cough up the cash, we highly recommend a used vehicle inspection to save you time, money and frustration down the road.

Here are three benefits of a used vehicle inspection:

1. A pre-purchase inspection gives you extra assurance.
Schedule a pre-purchase inspection appointment with one of our ASE-Certified Master Technicians at Hong Kong Auto Service. Your technician will determine what (if any) preventative maintenance is due now or should be scheduled soon. The technician also will tell you what auto repairs are needed and share his expert opinion on the overall condition of the car.

Hong Kong Auto can do a detailed inspection of your used vehicle before you buy it.

2. Make it flawless
Should you keep on shopping? Many car shoppers sometimes “fall in love” with a  car but don’t always see the hidden flaws, such as evidence of a collision. Our systematic inspection includes a review of the suspension, steering, tires, brakes, belts, hoses, exhaust, all fluids, and testing of electrical system (battery and alternator).

Hong Kong Auto can tell you how much you’ll need for auto repairs and/or maintenance right away. We can also often tell if the vehicle has been involved in a fender bender and give you the information you need to negotiate a great deal or to keep on looking!

3. Get a better deal
You can wheel and deal with the car’s owner because most likely he won’t want to put any more money into the car. If you’re considering cars with 50,000-60,000 miles on them, many vehicles will often need brakes, tires and possibly drive belts. And after 60,000 most vehicles are due for several preventive maintenance services that can cost several hundred dollars. If you have a vehicle inspection report that spells out all of the vehicle’s repair or maintenance needs, you are in a better position to negotiate a fair price.
