Why should you hire a professional inspection agency for used car evaluation?

Once considered an unorganized sector, the used car market has evolved significantly over all these years and many processes of buying used cars have been streamlined. One such process is Pre purchase Inspection. Once buyer had no other option than to take a test ride to ascertain the condition of the car or rely on the car mechanics’ advice. But the car mechanics’ advice is not always unbiased. Besides it is very difficult to gauge his qualification, especially if you are not car-savvy.

But nowadays many dedicated car inspection companies are ready to render their professional help if you need to have a thorough check-up of a pre-owned car before purchase. 

However, still many people are far from the advantages offered by professional car inspection because of the following reasons:

•  Many people are not aware that there are dedicated professionals or companies that can inspect a pre-owned car and give a detailed report to the buyer
  
• Many people think that the best (or only) way of checking a used car's performance is to employ car mechanic for the job whose comments or suggestions are dubious because of his own vested interests.
  

Hint: many mechanics earn more working as a used car agent rather than their main profession of repairing!

• Many sellers are able to convince the buyers that there car is in the best working conditions by "fabricating" the tests that they conduct themselves in front of buyer. Needless to say in most cases such self-tests are employed to prevent buyer from hiring a professional help.

There are many advantages of employing a professional help for Used Cars Inspection:

•  Finding a qualified and reliable mechanic is a tricky job. It becomes more difficult for the first time buyers who are not car-savvy. One of the biggest advantages of hiring a professional pre-owned car inspection service is that you don't have to spend your time and resources for finding technicians or mechanics who can suggest you regarding the condition of the car.
• The pre-owned cars business is prone to the "essential vices" of any other commission-intensive business. For instance, if the mechanic already has a client looking for the similar model of car he would discourage you from buying it and then refer the other client to the seller so that he could earn a decent commission upon sales. Likewise if the car has a serious fault that is not yet apparent, the mechanic can arrange a "setting" with the seller and gloss over the fault so that the deal is finalized. Needless to say the mechanic will get his own "cut" once the car is sold.
  
• One of the most wonderful thing about professional car Inspection Company is that they hire only the well qualified staff who are fit to work as an inspector. In fact these agencies have an elaborate procedure of hiring professionals. The credentials of the inspectors are thoroughly checked before employing them. After that they are hired on probation period during which their performance is constantly monitored and honed. Only those whose performance is found to be satisfactory are hired as permanent staff. After such an elaborate process, the inspectors are thoroughly acquainted with each single aspect of car inspection. Besides diversity of experiences ingrain certain spontaneous skills in them that make them ideally fit to work as an inspector. Obviously the report presented by such seasoned professional is not only professional and unbiased but also a major asset while reviewing the purchase decision.
  
•  You have a full freedom to choose the location where you want the car to be inspected. According to your convenience and preferences, you can instruct the agency to inspect the car on any location: at your own premises, at owner's premises or any other location that suits you better.
  
• You will be given a professionally prepared, comprehensive report in an easily comprehensible format. It will help you to understand the exact condition of the car before you purchase it.
  
• Many of the car faults become apparent to a layman after several months of using. By that time much damage has already been done or the condition. However these subtle symptoms cannot evade the notice of professional inspectors. So even before you buy a car the inspectors can warn you against such "hidden symptoms" that have a potential to turn into irreparable faults over a period of time.
  
•  As these agencies are unbiased, their detailed report contains all the pros and cons of the car. While the cons will help you to review your purchase decision the pros will help you to project your expectations.
  
•  You might not have to incur a penny on its repair within the first month of purchase; there could be a significant amount that you need to incur after 3 months. So a professional inspection helps you to set the budget required to be spent on repairing of the car in the long term.
  
• The inspection agencies have some standard rules, regulations and ethical standards they abide by. So you can always be sure that each single step of inspection has gone through several well-defined benchmarks. The inspector just cannot say that the tyres are in a perfect condition, he needs to explain it in detail: rubber integrity, tire tread depth, patches or defects, brand, etc. In short, for every "Good", "Poor" and "Average" they have a specific, verifiable reason. There is a systematic logic behind their evaluation reports.
  
•  Whether you are an organization looking for several conveyance vehicle for your employees or a tour company looking for a fleet of passenger vehicles or simply an individual harboring dream of owning several car models in your garage, the professional car inspection service would not only offer you a single platform for getting professional inspection for multiple vehicles but can also have a considerable effect on reducing the cost of the used car evaluation. 

Here are some ways in which you can use the facts and figures of the report for maximum benefit:

• One of the major advantages of professional inspection that most people generally ignore is to employ the weak points or cons to reasonably negotiate for the prices. Though it is not recommendable to go for the car that has a serious fault, you can act lenient if the fault is reparable. However, to get the “best of the bad bargain” you should tactfully bargain the price on the basis of faults founded.
  
• Good professional inspection agencies always render the reports in comprehensible manner. Still if you find any difficulty in understanding it is best to ask the agency for further clarification.
  
• If this is your first experience of owning the car, you can do yourself a great service by thoroughly discussing with the inspection agency about every aspect of report.
  
• Tell the agency about your expectation from the car. Whether you want to use it for weekend family picnics that might also include long drives or you want to employ it for commuting to your office that require you to pass through bad road conditions. They would be in a better condition to tell you the about expectations and limitations.
  
• Before you hire any inspection agency, you should visit their office and develop a decent familiarity about their work pattern. It will go a long way in selecting the most ideal inspection agencies.
