Independent inspection before you buy.
It’s simple: book an independent inspection before buying a used car to be sure no one is hiding anything.
What I check
A full inspection, every time — plus anything specific you are worried about.
Every report ends in one of three calls
Nothing found that should stop the sale.
Sound car, but budget for the repairs listed.
Structural, safety, or cost problems I would not take on.
Plain-language report
No scores or jargon — what I saw, in words you can act on.
No dealer ties
I do not sell cars and take nothing from any shop.
Repair cost ranges
Every finding comes with what it should cost to fix in the GTA.
No guarantee
I report the car on the day I see it. I will not pretend to predict next year.

Inspector notes
Sound car overall. Oil seep at the valve cover is the one job I would price out before you agree on a number — everything else is normal wear for the kilometres.

A real inspection report, start to finish, on a car I would tell you to think twice about.
