Complete inspection of the vehicle, top to bottom. We check all suspension, safety, drivetrain, brakes, tires, whatever mechanical can be looked at on the car without “diagnosing” a specific issue. Like if a check engine light is on, we don’t diagnose that, but we mention it in the report and can diagnose it per request. Notate any drivability concerns. We inspect the service history, check the body for visible damage and take pictures of any dents, dings, scratches that we find. Then we run through the interior and make sure all electrical components are operating as they should, and notate/take pictures of any specific damage to interior components (trim, seats, whatever).
