💡 Why Vehicle Inspection Matters

Most mechanical failures don't happen without warning — they develop gradually, showing small signs weeks or months before they leave you stranded. A comprehensive vehicle inspection catches these developing problems while they're still small and inexpensive to fix. Worn brake pads caught at 3mm cost $150 to fix. Ignored until metal-on-metal, you're looking at $400+ in rotor damage on top of the pad replacement. A weak battery flagged during an inspection is a $150 swap. The same battery failing in a parking lot is a tow truck, a missed meeting, and a bad day. Our digital inspection process gives you full visibility into your vehicle's health — and the information you need to prioritize repairs on your timeline and your budget.

💬 What Customers Say About Our Vehicle Inspection

You will not be disappointed with Chloe’s service and repairs. My car needed a diagnostic and repair in order to pass emissions inspections. After diagnostics they advised that i needed several repairs. After going through the list, they advised what had to be done for emissions and what could wait. I had just the things repaired which would get me through the emissions test. They were so nice and really helped me get my car registered in Georgia.

First time using the shop. Great work, fair pricing, and valuable information from the technician inspections. Will definitely bring my second car in for maintenance and/or repairs. You will receive the inspection report digitally and will have informational videos attached to help educate the purpose of a component and potential consequences of not properly maintaining. They won’t push unnecessary repairs and will tell you what is a needed repair versus maintenance. If they are not able to duplicate your issue in shop and can’t definitively condemn a component, they do not start throwing parts on to “fix it”. Friendly staff. Overnight drop-off with a key drop at their shop door. Shuttle service during their business hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a multi-point vehicle inspection?+

Our multi-point inspection covers all major vehicle systems: brakes, tires, fluid levels, battery, belts, hoses, suspension, steering, lights, wipers, and exhaust. You receive a digital report with photos of any areas of concern, rated by urgency — so you know what needs attention now and what can wait.

Do you perform Georgia emissions inspections?+

Yes — at our Roswell, GA location only. Georgia requires emissions testing for most vehicles registered in the metro Atlanta area. If your vehicle fails, our Roswell technicians can diagnose and repair the underlying issue (often an O2 sensor or catalytic converter) and re-test to get you compliant. Our other locations do not offer state emissions testing, but they can diagnose and repair the problems that commonly cause a failed test.

Do you offer pre-purchase inspections?+

Absolutely — and we strongly recommend one before buying any used vehicle. Our pre-purchase inspection is a comprehensive evaluation that checks for hidden mechanical issues, accident damage indicators, fluid leaks, frame concerns, and deferred maintenance. For $100–$150, we can potentially save you thousands by revealing issues the seller may not disclose. Available at all 5 of our locations.

How long does a vehicle inspection take?+

A multi-point inspection during an oil change takes about 15–20 minutes and is included at no extra charge. A standalone comprehensive inspection typically takes 30–60 minutes. A pre-purchase inspection is the most thorough and may take up to 90 minutes, including a brief test drive and detailed documentation.

How much does a vehicle inspection cost?+

Multi-point inspections are complimentary with oil changes and most scheduled services. Standalone comprehensive inspections run $50–$100. Pre-purchase inspections are $100–$150. Georgia emissions inspection fees at Roswell vary by vehicle type. Call your nearest location for exact pricing.
