The Process

How it works

Three steps. No phone tag.

  1. 1

    Book the inspection

    Choose your tier, tell us about the vehicle, and save your card. It isn't charged until your inspection is completed.

  2. 2

    Inspector accepts within 24 hours

    Certified inspectors in your area get a dispatch alert. First one to accept wins the job, contacts you + the seller, and schedules the on-site visit.

  3. 3

    Photo-documented report, same day

    Full multi-point mechanical and visual inspection at the seller's location. You get the PDF report within 24 hours, with a 5-day dispute window.

Payment

Your card is saved securely — nothing is charged today. When an inspector accepts and schedules your inspection, we place a hold for the amount above; you’re only charged after the inspection is completed. No inspector, no match — no charge.

By adding your card you authorize VehicleInspectors to securely save it and to charge it for this inspection once it is completed. Card details are stored by Square, our payment processor — we never see or keep your full card number.

Your card is saved now — not charged. A hold is placed when an inspector schedules; you’re charged only after the inspection is completed.

Credentials

Who’s inspecting your vehicle

Inspectors in the VehicleInspectors network are vetted automotive professionals and independent contractors. We review credentials and verify insurance coverage before an inspector takes their first dispatch.

Credentials

ASE certification, OEM/manufacturer training, or a state-licensed mechanic credential — verified on file. Many on the roster hold Master Technician (A1–A9) or category-specialist certs.

Insurance

Liability coverage (commercial general liability, commercial auto, and errors & omissions) is verified before an inspector’s first dispatch.

Independence

Inspectors are independent contractors, not dealership employees. They have no financial interest in whether you buy the vehicle — only in telling you the truth.

Your assigned inspector’s name, company, phone, email, and credential appear on your report and in your tracking page. No pseudonyms.

Questions

Pricing & booking FAQ

Everything buyers ask before booking. Still have questions? (888) 923-5890.

How fast can you dispatch an inspector?
Most inspections are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Same-day service is available in select metro areas when booked before 10am local time. You get emailed as soon as an inspector accepts — usually within a few hours.
What's your refund policy if no inspector accepts?
Your card is never charged. If no inspector accepts your booking, the request auto-cancels, any saved card is released, and the lead is closed. No bill, nothing to dispute, no cleanup.
How long do I have to dispute findings on the report?
You have 5 business days from report delivery to flag any issue. Open your tracking link and use the built-in dispute form — our team reviews within 48 hours and issues a full refund, partial refund, or dismisses with a written explanation.
What's included in each tier?
Every tier covers the whole vehicle and includes 25+ documented photos: body and paint, interior, under-hood, underbody, driveline, steering, suspension, brakes, exhaust, OBD-II scan, and a road test where the vehicle is street legal and safe. Bronze ($249) is that inspection at the lowest flat rate. Silver ($349) adds instrumented measurement: battery load test, brake pad and rotor measurement, and A/C and heater temperature readings. Gold ($449) adds everything in Silver plus an extended road test with live OBD-II data capture, a full electronics and infotainment audit, and paint-depth readings.
Do I need to provide a VIN to book?
No. VIN is optional at booking. We need the vehicle year, make, model, and ZIP at minimum — the inspector captures the VIN on site. If you have the VIN or the listing URL, it helps us match you with a specialty inspector faster (exotic, classic, RV).
What's your coverage area?
We dispatch inspectors within 50 miles of any US ZIP code. If no local inspector is available in the first round, we automatically widen the radius to 100 miles in round 2 and 150 miles in round 3 before auto-refund. Remote locations outside 150 miles are quoted case-by-case with a travel surcharge.
When is my card charged?
Not at booking. Your card is saved securely when you book, a hold is placed once a certified inspector schedules your inspection window, and you are only charged after the inspection is completed. If no inspector accepts, nothing is ever charged.
What are your inspectors’ qualifications?
Inspectors in the VehicleInspectors network are vetted automotive professionals — many hold active ASE certification, OEM/manufacturer training, or a state mechanic credential — and we review credentials and verify insurance coverage before an inspector takes their first dispatch. Your assigned inspector’s name and credential appear on your final report.
