Who we help
Whatever you're buying, look before you leap
From a $4,000 commuter on Facebook Marketplace to a six-figure classic at auction — if it has a VIN and a seller, it's worth an independent look first.
Buying from a private seller
Marketplace, Craigslist, or a neighbor's driveway — get an objective read on the car before money changes hands.
Learn moreBuying remotely or out of state

Specialty vehicles hide expensive problems. Our exotic and high-performance inspection digs into tuning, driveline, and provenance clues.

Real inspections, real decisions
I was literally about to sign the paperwork on a 'clean' Ford F-150. I had a gut feeling and called AutoCheck Pros at the last minute. John found significant frame rot that was deliberately painted over. The seller was not happy, but I was ecstatic. That inspection cost $200 but saved me from an $18,000 truck that would have been unsafe to drive. If you're even slightly unsure, just book it. It's a no-brainer.
Sarah L.Saved from a huge mistake
The inspection report from AutoCheck Pros was worth its weight in gold. The car was in good shape, but the report listed a few minor issues I never would have found — like aging tires and a worn serpentine belt. I used the detailed report to negotiate $1,500 off the asking price. That covered the cost of the repairs and then some. I didn't just buy a car; I bought confidence.
Michael T.A savvy negotiator
As a first-time car buyer, I was so overwhelmed and scared of being taken advantage of. The inspector from AutoCheck Pros was incredibly patient. He didn't just look at the car; he walked me through everything on the phone afterward and explained what it all meant in plain English. He told me it was a solid car, and that was all I needed to hear. I could finally sleep easy.

Service area
Based in Morganville, NJ — serving the Tri-State Area
We're a mobile service — the inspection happens wherever the vehicle is: a driveway, a dealership lot, an auction yard, or a storage facility. Outside our usual area? Ask anyway; we can often make it work or point you to a good option.
Common questions
Answers before you ask
A trained inspector travels to the vehicle you're considering and evaluates its observed condition — body, mechanical systems, electronics, interior, an OBD diagnostic scan, and a road test where permitted. You receive a photo-documented report so you understand the vehicle beyond the listing photos. See everything we inspect.
We come to the vehicle — a private seller's home, a dealership, an auction site, or a storage facility, anywhere in the Tri-State Area (New Jersey, New York & Pennsylvania). You don't need to be there, and neither does the deal.
We recommend 24–48 hours notice; same-day requests are often possible. The inspection itself takes 60–90 minutes. Reports are typically delivered by email within 24 hours — often the same day.
We give you an honest, independent assessment of the vehicle's observed condition and flag anything that deserves attention or a repair estimate. The decision stays yours — but you'll make it with far better information, and we're happy to talk through the findings.
No — and be cautious of anyone who promises that. Our inspection is visual and non-invasive; it documents the condition we can observe at the time of inspection. It significantly reduces uncertainty, but it isn't a warranty. Read our inspection disclaimer for the details.
Ready when you are
Before you risk thousands on that vehicle, have a professional look first.
Two minutes to request. Same-day inspections are often available. The report could be the best money you spend on this car.
No pressure, no obligation — we'll answer your questions either way.
