Are you shopping for a vehicle?
You may not have as much experience and want an expert to verify that there are no hidden and potential issues?
The seller seems shady and doesn’t want to get the car inspected at your trusted shop?
Maybe you or the seller aren’t able to visit a mechanic because of timing and distance?
Perhaps you are from outside Montreal and interested in a vehicle sold locally?
You want to save time and money?
Look no further!
At Checkmate, we are a team of professional mechanics with many years of experience, passionate about cars, and dedicated to helping our clients understand the TRUE condition of a vehicle they may be considering.
Our mission is to ensure our clients avoid wasting their time and money on unworthy vehicles.
We understand that looking for and buying a car can be stressful, and we strive to make it a joyful experience rather than a frustrating one.
We believe that vehicles play a significant role in people’s lives, and we want everyone to have the best driving experience possible.
Whether it’s a luxury, commuter, or collectible classic, we are not biased and appreciate the trust of our clients.
We are happy to offer our professional car inspection services in Montreal and the surrounding areas, up to 80 km from the city. Just book the time and place that works for you and the seller, and one of our technicians will arrive to perform a complete mechanical, electrical and esthetical step-by-step inspection. This inspection will cover multiple points, including:
- Body condition (frame, rust, dents, paint condition, windshield, rear window, etc.)
- Engine condition (advanced scanning, leaks, fluids, etc.)
- Transmission condition (scanning, leaks, mounts, shifting, etc.)
- Drivetrain condition (axles, differentials, driveshafts, etc.)
- Safety check (brakes, emergency brakes, alignment, suspension, bearings, tires, etc.)
- Vehicle equipment and electrical systems (lights, wipers, air conditioner, heating, mirrors, spare tire compartment, keys, parking assist, etc.)
- Interior condition (seats, trims, plastics, headliner, carpets, dashboard, gear selector, etc.)
- Interior equipment (window regulators, radio, speakers, buttons, central locking, sunroof, etc.)
- Battery life check
- Possible previous accidents
- Flood damage
- Mileage authenticity
- Observing for aftermarket equipment
- Road testing (if allowed)
- Pictures
- Explanations
After the inspection, you will receive a detailed report with over 180 points verified one by one. We will include pictures and give you a call if you couldn’t be present at the appointment and describe all considerations to take into account before making the decision.
Don’t matter if you are looking at a vehicle sold by a dealership, private seller, or even a friend, we strongly recommend having every car inspected before purchasing to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Enjoy your ride and drive safe!
Sincerely,
Vehicle Inspection Checkmate team.
