Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection is Essential

A pre-purchase inspection (also known as a pre-buy inspection) is a thorough evaluation of a used vehicle's condition, performed by experienced professionals before the purchase is finalized. This service is crucial because it can uncover hidden issues that may not be apparent during a casual test drive or visual inspection.

 Harvey's Garage is your trusted choice for pre-purchase inspections in the Hampton Roads area. As a veteran- and family-owned business, we approach every service with honesty and dedication. Our factory-certified technicians, specializing in various makes, provide expert advice on various makes and models.

• Engine

By opting for a pre-buy inspection with our team, you'll gain valuable insights into the vehicle's condition and can make a more confident purchasing decision. If any issues are found, you can use that information to negotiate a better deal or even avoid buying a vehicle that could cost you more in repairs down the line.
