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.

01 / BODY

Rust and accident clues

Body panels, paint mismatch, wheel wells, rockers, underbody rust, and signs of rushed repair work.

02 / ENGINE

Engine bay and fluids

Oil, coolant, leaks, belts, hoses, battery condition, odd smells, and anything that looks patched over.

03 / UNDERNEATH

Frame, exhaust, suspension

The costly hidden stuff: frame rails, exhaust, suspension wear, leaks, corrosion, and loose components.

04 / INTERIOR

Interior and electronics

Windows, locks, heat, AC, dash lights, infotainment, seat functions, and the small issues that add up.

05 / ROAD TEST

Test drive feel

Braking, shifting, steering, vibration, engine response, suspension noise, and anything that feels off.

06 / SCAN

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.

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.
