Do not rely on a CARFAX or other vehicle history reports as your only source for researching your next pre-owned vehicle. CARFAX and other types of history reports only offer information about registration and ownership, repair and maintenance service performed by the dealership and SOME accidents. This data is often incomplete and unconfirmed. If an accident was not reported through the insurance company, it won't show up on the vehicle history report. National Auto Inspection Services will check the entire vehicle from bumper to bumper and identify any body damage or evidence of previous body repair and even signs of abuse or neglect that can be seen visibly that a CARFAX vehicle history report has missed. Vehicle history reports also do not report on the current condition of any vehicle as they DO NOT physically inspect the vehicle; therefore, any mechanical or electrical issues like internal engine or transmission problems will not be included in their reports. We provide all the information that you need through our inspections and evaluations in order to help you to make the proper decision on what you are purchasing so you will have the peace of mind that you deserve.
Only a physical inspection can definitely determine if the vehicle has previous accident damage, and the quality of any repairs. Although two identical vehicles may look and drive the same, the vehicle history report can not distinguish between a properly maintained vehicle, and a vehicle with existing mechanical and/or structural problems. The difference between these two cars can be hundreds to thousands of dollars in value.
Insurance companies have bought vehicles from insured motorists that were declared a total loss following an accident.(See Non-Salvaged Title Vehicle Sales) Many of these vehicles are not re-titled into the insurance companys name and branded as a reconstructed vehicle. Many of these vehicles were signed over to the insurance company then sold to a rebuilder or dismantler who bought the car from the insurance company to repair the vehicle and turn around to sell it to a used car dealership. This was done to hide the fact that the vehicle was totaled and should have been declared so on the title. A professional Pre-Purchase Inspection will determine visible existing problems such as previous accident damage, odometer discrepancies, needed mechanical repairs and maintenance items, prior substandard repairs, misuse and abuse, etc. Without a professional inspection, you could be buying a vehicle that is not worth the asking price or a vehicle that has previous or substandard repairs.
