Mobile Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection in Boise, ID

Mobile Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspections at Your Location

Buying a used vehicle is a big decision, and hidden problems can turn a good deal into an expensive mistake. At Wrenches & Rags, we provide professional mobile pre-purchase vehicle inspections throughout Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley.

Instead of guessing about a vehicle’s condition, we come directly to the seller’s location, dealership, or private sale site to inspect the vehicle before you buy it. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision with confidence.

Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection Matters

A vehicle may look great on the outside but still have hidden mechanical or safety issues. A professional inspection helps identify potential problems before you commit to buying.

Common issues we uncover include:

- Engine or transmission problems

- Oil or fluid leaks

- Worn suspension or steering components

- Brake wear or safety concerns

- Electrical system issues

- Cooling system problems

- Previous accident or poor repair signs

- Tire wear indicating alignment issues

- Battery, alternator, or charging system issues

A small inspection fee can save you from thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.
