120-Point Inspection for Used Cars: What We Check

Buying a used vehicle without an inspection is risky. A 120-point inspection gives you a clear report on safety, wear, and upcoming maintenance costs so you can buy with confidence.

What a 120-Point Inspection Covers

We check every major system, including:

  • Engine performance, leaks, and compression signs
  • Transmission operation and fluid condition
  • Brake pad, rotor, and fluid condition
  • Suspension, steering, and alignment wear
  • Tires, tread depth, and uneven wear patterns
  • Electrical systems, lights, and battery health
  • Heating, AC, and defrost performance

Why It Matters for Ottawa Buyers

Ottawa’s weather and road conditions can accelerate wear. An inspection protects you from hidden rust, uneven tire wear, or cooling system issues that might not show up in a quick test drive.

What You Receive

  • A clear checklist of findings
  • Safety concerns and near-term repairs
  • Maintenance priorities and timing
  • An honest assessment of the vehicle’s overall condition

When to Schedule

Book an inspection before finalizing a private sale or dealership purchase. It gives you leverage to negotiate or walk away if needed.
