Buying a used car or getting ready for a road trip can be stressful when you don’t know what’s hiding under the hood. Hidden mechanical issues, accident damage, rust, and worn components can turn your dream ride into a nightmare and leave you stranded on the side of the road. With over 15 years of experience and thousands of inspections performed, I take the guesswork out of your purchase or trip preparation. My mobile service brings an inspector directly to your location anywhere in Oregon, providing an unbiased evaluation that covers every major system, backed by a same‑day digital report and photos.

Josh was super. He went up to Portland to inspect a van I was interested in and did a thorough job. He found a red-flag fault code that we are now addressing with the dealer. Could be a deal breaker, but we'll see. Without Josh's excellent and impeccable report we would not have spotted this. Price was very fair and reasonable. I will definitely call upon Josh if I need another inspection.

I did not get to hire Josh because he found out ahead of time that the Vehicle I was looking at was part of a scam. He was very helpful and I appreciate him saving me money and hassle!

Josh showed up to help me evaluate a car on the weekend. Searching for a new car was time consuming and a bit stressful. By the time I landed on one - his insight and experience gave me peace of mind for my purchase. He was available afterwards via phone for a few questions I hadn't thought of during the inspection. I'm not a car guy. He explained everything in a way I could understand, which helped me finally buy a car I really enjoy. Feels great to not be car shopping anymore!

Josh was a spectacular second set of eyes for a potential car purchase. We were in Hawaii and could not be there in person. Due to his insights and honesty, I did not purchase the car that "looked great on paper". What Josh did was be the "buyer" for me and give honest feedback if he were to buy the car. Well done! Mahalo!
