Pre-purchase car inspection in Stouffville
Stouffville, Ballantrae, Musselman's Lake and the sideroads between. William comes to the driveway.
From Newmarket, across to Stouffville.
Whitchurch-Stouffville is twenty minutes east of where William is based, across on Aurora Road or down Highway 48. A car on Main Street, in the subdivisions south of it, in Ballantrae or out at Musselman's Lake: give us the address and the time the seller can meet.
Stouffville sellers are often the first owner, with the service records in a folder in the kitchen. Ask for them. He will tell you whether the folder matches the car.
The Buyer Report reaches your phone with 40 to 60 photographs, and William will take your call about any of it.

Buying a used car in Stouffville
Stouffville families tend to run two cars and a commute to Markham or the 404, so the cars for sale are often high-kilometre and well used. Highway kilometres wear a car differently from town ones. The road test and the brake and suspension checks show which kind you're looking at.
North of town there are horse farms and acreages, and the trucks and SUVs that go with them. A truck that's towed a trailer for years has a transmission and a rear end that will say so. William looks for that before he looks at anything cosmetic.

Commonly asked questions.
Is this a safety certificate?
No. A safety standards certificate confirms that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards on the date it was issued, and it's what lets the car be plated. A pre-purchase inspection covers the whole car: what's worn, what's been repaired, what the computer has logged, and what condition every system is in. Most buyers want both.
Do I need to be there?
No. If the inspection is paid in advance, William goes on his own. You're welcome to come along, and it can be helpful, because he'll show you what he's finding as he works. Either way you get the report and a call to go through it.
How soon can you come, and when do I get the report?
Most inspections happen within 12 to 24 hours of booking, depending on the schedule; same-day is $50 extra. You receive the Buyer Report within 45 minutes of the inspection finishing, pending payment.
What does the seller need to have ready?
The vehicle ownership and a working key. William checks the VIN on the ownership against the VIN on the car before he starts, so the inspection requires it. He'll also ask whether there are two working keys. Mention both to the seller when you agree on a time.
