Pre-purchase car inspection in King City
King City, Nobleton and Schomberg. William comes to the car, and the Premium package is built for the cars sold here.
The inspection comes to the driveway.
King Township is spread out, and a car for sale here is usually in a driveway on an acre or two, not on a lot. That suits the way William works. He comes to the address, at a time the seller can meet, whether that's King City, Nobleton, Schomberg or a sideroad between them.
For a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche or Range Rover, book the Premium package. It adds the comprehensive diagnostic scan, which reads every control module in the car, not only the engine computer. On a car like that, the expensive faults live in the modules a basic scan never touches.
The scan report is attached to the Buyer Report, module by module. Call William and he will tell you what the codes actually cost to put right.

Buying a used car in King City
A lot of the used cars sold privately in King are second or third cars from a household that kept them well and drove them little. Those are good cars to buy. The report will tell you whether this is one of them, or whether low kilometres are hiding a car that sat outside for three winters.
The other thing King buyers tend to be looking at is an out-of-warranty European car at a price that seems too good. Sometimes it is. Air suspension, adaptive dampers and driver-assistance sensors are what turn a bargain into a bill, and the Premium scan reads all three.

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.
