What systems do you inspect?

I have the most extensive Inspection business in the industry.  I have "Inspection tools" that most dealers, other inspection companies, and independents have never even heard of. Remember PDXinspections is an Inspection Specialist not a repair facility  View photos and descriptions of my inspection process

 

What kind of vehicles do you inspect?

I have inspected everything from a $250K Bentley, $150K Ford GT, $130K Mercedes Benz, the world's fastest supercar Ultima GTR to your everyday Honda Civic. 95% of the vehicles I inspect are only 1-10 years old and these are the vehicles I am most comfortable inspecting. I do not inspect larger commercial vehicles, any Land Rover Product, and ask that you please email me the details of any vehicle you're considering on SE 82nd Avenue or off SE McLoughlin Blvd, as it seems there are some rather poor small dealerships in the area and I rarely inspect anything worth purchasing in these areas.

 

Do you inspect rebuilt/reconstructed/salvage title vehicles?

Yes I do, however I'm not a big fan of recommending these vehicles for many reasons listed on My Tips to finding a Quality Used Car page.  On top of my normal inspection including safety systems, to the best of my ability I will be able to confirm what panels have been replaced/repainted/repaired and to what extent and quality.  Like anybody else I can only visually inspect the frame/unibody/core support/panel alignment and look at tire wear to ensure you're not buying a vehicle with bent frame or one with existing or poorly repaired frame damage. These vehicles MUST be inspected but don't get caught up in the pricing, you should really consider clean title vehicles.

 

Do you inspect diesels?

Yes I do inspect lower mileage diesels on non-commercial vehicles. My standard inspection applies however an exhaust gas analyzer will not work on these vehicles so I'm limited to using my dealer level enhanced scan tool to check at the computer level for history, current, or pending issues as well as my digital engine analyzer to perform a comparative running compression test and internal engine blow-by test. I do not inspect larger commercial vehicles and recommend high mileage diesels be taken to a diesel specialist or dealership capable of compression and opacity smoke testing.

 

How much does your service cost?

My pricing structure depends mainly on where the vehicle is located.  Please visit my Ordering Page for a complete breakdown

 

How do I schedule an inspection?

Please visit my Ordering Page - Because I'm in the field performing inspections throughout the day, I don't take appointments over the phone.  My inspection availability is current above.

 

How long does it take to get the results?

PDXinspections is the only inspection company in the nation with the technology to immediately dispatch your inspection via email after the inspection is completed meaning if I complete the inspection at 10:00 am you should have it in your inbox by 10:01 am.
