Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspections

Buying a used car can be exciting, but also nerve-wracking. You want to be sure you’re not inheriting someone else’s problem. That’s where a pre-purchase inspection from PG Performance comes in.

Whether you're eyeing a low-mileage VW or a well-kept Audi, we’ll give you the confidence to make a smart decision.

Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection Matters

Used vehicles can look great on the outside but hide serious issues under the hood. A pre-purchase inspection helps you:

• Avoid unexpected repairs or costly surprises

• Get clarity on the car’s current condition

• Strengthen your negotiation position

• Make sure you're paying a fair price

Think of it like a home inspection – but for your car.
