Welcome and thank you for visiting.

This site is dedicated to assisting others in purchasing a used vehicle without getting burned.

Our goal is to offer you our vast experience in automotive diagnostics, training and inspection procedures translated into an instruction guide that anybody could understand and use.

This book, "How to Inspect a Used Vehicle (and not take home a lemon)" offers the used car shopper a step by step inspection procedure and a worksheet to estimate the value of the vehicle. It will instruct you on how to systematically look over the vehicle, pointing out what to look for and what to stay away from. Using the results of the inspection and road test to make an estimated value of the vehicle to compare with the asking price and make a counter offer, or look for something else.

Our book was developed by an "ASE" certified master technician with over 30 years experience. Including nearly 20 years working in GM and Chrysler dealerships where his duties included inspecting vehicles taken in on trade.

The purpose is not to diagnose each problem but to help you to recognize that there is a problem before you spend your hard-earned cash. It’s too easy to buy other peoples problems and not know it until it’s to late.

It was written with the layperson in mind, offering tips and advice acquired over the years, to help you make a purchase that you will be happy with for many years. The small investment to purchase this book may indeed end up saving your thousands!
