What's inspected...

	Engine PCM/ECU diagnostics	Noting Current/Pending/History codes, emissions readiness testing - Full scan of all systems (Airbag, ABS, Body, ECU) Dealer level scanning capabilities on most European, Asian and Domestic through 2011 - This is beyond most non Manufacture specific Dealer and Independent repair shops abilities
	Battery, Starting and Charging	Testing all crucial systems. Complete Electronic Analysis - Evaluating battery condition, starting system, and alternator/charging tests
	Engine Visual	Noting leaks, alterations, belt wear, and cooling system pressure testing

	Under Vehicle Inspection	Lifting the car - looking for current/previous signs of frame/uni-body damage

	Tire Condition	Noting, tire condition, wear/life measurement, abnormal wear patterns (suspension issues) and inflation
	Brakes	Noting wear/damage and brake pad wear/life measurement
	Crash/Accident Analysis	Every vehicle I inspect starts with a complete walk around with my Electronic Paint Thickness Meter. My paint meter will show me if any of the vehicles panels has been repainted or replaced (no matter what the quality of the repair). This will then help to determine whether there has been collision or cosmetic repair. You won't find this with any other kind of inspection (*Dealer and Independent repair shops don't have need for this tool*).

	Heating and Air Conditioning	Verifying proper A/C compressor, blower, distribution and heater operation - Measuring A/C efficiency
	Interior Features, Controls, and Electronics	Testing all accessories for proper functionality
	Exterior Condition	Noting scratches, dings, original panels, previous repairs and/or repaint
