A Vehicle History Report is not a Pre Purchase Inspection

Do not rely on a vehicle history reports as your only source for researching your next pre-owned vehicle. You should utilize every available option at your disposal when looking for a used car. We have that option covered with our premier inspection service. NAIS 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 vehicle history report may have missed. Vehicle history reports are an essential tool needed when shopping for a used car but they 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 premier inspection service includes a Pre-Purchase Inspection and an AutoCheck Vehicle History Report 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. We can inspect the vehicle for you and provide you the resource of a vehicle history report.

Only a physical inspection can definitely determine if the vehicle has previous accident damage that was not reported 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. Click the link below to order an AutoCheck report without an inspection.

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.
