Carvana 7-Day Inspection in Eugene, Oregon
You bought the car online. Nobody inspected it for you before the sale — Carvana doesn’t allow that. What you get instead is 7 days after delivery to decide whether to keep it. That window is your test drive, and an independent inspection is how you use it well.
Precision Auto Inspect performs mobile inspections of Carvana purchases across Eugene, Springfield, and the surrounding area — at your home, where the car was delivered. Book the inspection for the first day or two of your window and you’ll have a full, photo-documented report in hand with days to spare.

Why timing matters
Under Carvana’s current terms, the 7-day money-back guarantee starts the day the car is delivered and comes with a 400-mile limit. Once it closes, your options narrow to the 100-day / 4,189-mile limited warranty that comes with the car — a claims process, not a return.
A few practical points:
- Book as soon as your delivery is scheduled. Most appointments land same-day to 1–2 days out, but the clock is already running when the car reaches your driveway.
- Keep the car under the 400-mile cap until it’s been inspected.
- Carvana’s “150-point inspection” is Carvana checking its own car. This inspection is yours — independent, with no stake in the sale.
What we check
The same full inspection we run on any pre-purchase vehicle:
- Engine, transmission, and driveline operation, including a road test
- Scan-tool diagnostics — fault codes and live data, not just a dashboard-light check
- Brakes, tires, suspension, and steering
- Underbody and structure — rust, prior repairs, leaks
- Electrical systems, lights, HVAC, and every control in the cabin
- Exterior and interior condition, checked against what the listing showed
- VIN and odometer verification against your paperwork
What you get
- A written inspection report with photo documentation, typically delivered in less than 24 hours
- Findings laid out plainly — what’s sound, what’s worn, what needs attention — so you can make the keep, return, or exchange call yourself, with days left in your window
- Documentation you can use if you open a claim under the car’s 100-day limited warranty
We report what we find. The decision is yours — it always is.
Honest limits
- This is a visual and operational inspection performed at your location without a shop lift. We get under the car as far as ground access safely allows and document everything we can reach.
- We can’t inspect a Carvana car before you buy it — no independent inspector can. If a seller or platform ever offers you that, ask how.
- The inspection doesn’t extend Carvana’s deadlines. If your window closes in two days, everything — inspection, report, and your decision — has to fit inside them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you inspect the car before I buy it from Carvana?
No — Carvana sells online with no pre-purchase access for buyers or independent inspectors. Their 7-day money-back guarantee exists because of that. The inspection happens right after delivery, inside the window.
When in the 7 days should I book?
Day one or two. That leaves time to read the report, think it over, and still act — return, exchange, or a warranty conversation — before the window and the 400 miles run out.
Do you come to my house?
Yes. Carvana delivers to your home, and that’s where we inspect — your driveway or garage. You’re welcome to be there, but you don’t need to be; don’t delay booking just to be present.
What if you find problems?
You get them in writing, with photos, while you still have options: return the car, exchange it, or document the issue under the 100-day limited warranty. We give you the findings and the measurements; the call is yours.
Does this work for CarMax or other online sellers?
Yes. Any purchase that comes with a return window works the same way — the inspection just has to land inside it. Tell us your deadline when you book and we’ll schedule against it.
How much does it cost?
$199.99 for most cars — the same as our standard pre-purchase inspection. Classic, diesel, and other vehicle tiers are priced the same as the matching inspection service. Travel is $1 per mile one-way from Eugene, with the first 15 miles free and a $125 maximum.
Book Inside Your Window
