Karchek - Home - Don't buy a wreck!

"Thanks Jim for saving me from a $2500 transmission repair bill last year. A shiny exterior and a fifteen-minute test drive doesn't always mean it's trouble free. Your service is well worth the money." - Jason Tam (Facebook)

You're always wary about buying used cars, but when it makes economic sense to buy a used car, get a little peace-of-mind insurance. A detailed KarChek vehicle inspection report can help you make an informed decision before you make a purchase, and might even offer you a little bargaining power in the process. We come to the car. Our comprehensive inspection checklist allows us to give you an informed evaluation of the vehicle, and can help identify a well-restored damaged vehicle as well as one that was restored badly. Think of KarChek as "your brother-in-law the mechanic," the one you always call before buying a used car. We employ only master mechanics who are ASE-certified technicians in both general automotive repair as well as auto frame damage. What's more, KarChek mechanics don't do repairs - not even "on the side" - in order to ensure an impartial evaluation of every vehicle.

A backyard mechanic might use a block-and-tackle stretched between two trees to straighten a frame when a qualified professional will use a laser-guided frame straightening machine. We can tell the difference.
