PRE PURCHASE CAR INSPECTION

Buying a car?

Buy a car with confidence

If you are looking to buy a second-hand car, make sure you are not getting a lemon!

Take the guesswork out of the quality and have the cosmetic bodywork and structural integrity professionally checked before you purchase. Only real automotive experts can immediately tell if the car has been in an accident. They will be looking for existing damage, whether the car has been repaired properly and advise you of what to expect with wear and tear moving forward.

At Gino’s we are dedicated to giving you quality service according to your needs. Therefore, we have 3 different pre-purchase inspection options available, depending on what level of service you would like.
