PERFORMANCE INSPECTIONS

Specialized pre-purchase checks for high-performance, luxury, and modified vehicles. We know what breaks on these cars, and we know where to look.

THE "VICE" STANDARD

Most mobile inspectors spend 45 minutes walking around a car and kicking the tyres. We spend 1-3 hours forensically analyzing it. Our background is in motorsport and high-end restoration, meaning we understand the difference between "wear and tear" and "imminent failure."

We use dealer-level diagnostic equipment to read live data, check for previous code clearing, and verify mileage across multiple modules, not just the dashboard.
