Sour Dealer
Occasionally we receive a call from a customer that has seen and is interested in a vehicle on a car lot but when they mention hiring our company for inspection the dealer will discourage or not let an independent inspector see the car. This is a "RED FLAG". These dealers (very few and usually mom and pop operations) will come up with all kinds of reasons why they do not allow inspections on their lot and usually promise that the car is perfect. Some dealers buy salvage. Recondition, flood, and fire. Crash test, lemon buy back and wrecked vehicles and sometimes pieced together cosmetically and in a lot of cases not disclosing it to the customer. Our inspection would have revealed that and other needed repairs and or safety related issues. We and all reputable dealers in town see it like this."If you don’t have anything to hide then what do you have to lose"? Rather. You can gain a sale, customer loyalty, repeat business and referral Work. Dealers have everything to gain. Including a good report with us smart dealers which include all major dealers and smaller well run and managed car lots actually refer us to their customers because they know they try to get good cars and they know that our results are accurate.
