The inspection
What gets checked
Every inspection follows a practical buyer checklist: find the expensive problems first, confirm the basics, then decide if the car is worth pursuing.
Engine bay and fluids
Oil, coolant, leaks, belts, hoses, battery condition, odd smells, and anything that looks patched over.
Frame, exhaust, suspension
The costly hidden stuff: frame rails, exhaust, suspension wear, leaks, corrosion, and loose components.
Interior and electronics
Windows, locks, heat, AC, dash lights, infotainment, seat functions, and the small issues that add up.
Test drive feel
Braking, shifting, steering, vibration, engine response, suspension noise, and anything that feels off.
OBD2 diagnostic scan
Stored and pending codes are checked, including warning signs that may not show as a dash light yet.
Simple pricing
No mystery invoice
Pay for the inspection, not a sales pitch. You get the information you need to negotiate, walk away, or buy with more confidence.

Buyer notes
What the inspection helps with
Representative buyer stories tied to vehicles like the ones inspected below, with the kinds of issues a pre-purchase report can uncover before you buy.
Daniel R.
Honda Accord Coupe
"The Accord looked great in the listing, but Sal found leaks and scan codes I never would have noticed. I passed on it and kept shopping."
Issues found
Marcus T.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
"I was ready to buy the Genesis that day. The inspection showed it needed more work than the seller admitted, so I negotiated instead of overpaying."
Issues found
Priya S.
BMW 3 Series Coupe
"The BMW drove fine, but the report pointed out expensive warning signs. Having photos and notes helped me make a calm decision."
Issues found
Nathan K.
BMW 3 Series Sedan
"This one looked like a cheap daily driver, but Sal caught rust starting around the rear and a few maintenance problems I missed."
Issues found
Emily W.
Toyota Camry
"The Camry seemed safe because it was a Toyota. The check still found body damage and signs it needed work before I made an offer."
Issues found
Samir A.
Honda Accord Sedan
"I almost ignored the inspection because the price was low. Sal showed me the rust and rough condition underneath before I got stuck with it."

Independent buyer help
Built for people buying used cars
Sal's Car Check is for buyers who want a second set of eyes before committing to a used vehicle. The inspection is practical, direct, and focused on what can cost you money after purchase.
This is not a Manitoba Safety Inspection and it is not a licensed mechanic certification. It is an independent pre-purchase check designed to help you make a smarter buying decision.
