Pre Purchase Inspections in South Tulsa

Let Us Inspect a Vehicle Before You Buy

The current economy is forcing more and more consumers to be frugal. For this reason, it is more important than ever to be savvy when it comes to financial matters. For many people, buying a used vehicle is the best course of action. One of the downsides to purchasing a used car is it’s hard to know its full history. Many used car lots provide services like Carfax and other used vehicle service reports. These pre-purchase reports are helpful as they list the service history of the vehicle and let you know if proper preventative maintenance has been taken.

Carfax can’t tell a dealership everything. For example, Carfax reports don’t let you know whether or not the car is in great running condition right now. Are necessary driving systems ready to go? What is the life left on components like engine mounts, belts, hoses and other paramount parts? Christian Brothers Automotive can be your used car resource. Our technicians can check used cars, guaranteeing that you won’t pay for a lemon.

A pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended if you are buying a vehicle without a warranty. If you purchase a car that doesn’t have a warranty, you assume all of the risk. Pre-purchase inspections make perfect sense. A comprehensive review will give you peace of mind before you invest in a new vehicle.

Safety for you and your family is your biggest concern and a pre-purchase inspection will help secure it. But bringing your car into Christian Brothers Automotive might also save you money because you will be able to negotiate a better price.

Are you planning on buying a used car in the near future? Before making the leap, be sure to bring the car into Christian Brothers Automotive for a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection.

Warning Signs for Brake Service

Typically brake problems stem from worn brake pads or rotors. When you stop, your brake pads create friction to help slow your vehicle, while your rotors disperse heat to prevent your brakes from overheating. Both pieces are essential when it comes to functioning brakes. Fortunately, if either of these pieces are damaged, we can replace them.
You may also be experiencing brake problems because of low brake fluid. This fluid is responsible for turning the force you add to your braking system by pushing the pedal into amplified pressure that will actually slow or stop your vehicle. It also protects the internal metal components of your brakes from corrosion.

How We Can Help

As your partners in automotive care, we service your brakes as thoroughly as possible, conducting a full inspection before determining and fixing the problem.

FAQs

Q. "Why is a vehicle's Carfax not enough?"

While a vehicle's Carfax report is useful in showing you the history of a car, it does not tell you what condition it is currently in. It is recommended to get your car looked at before purchasing it to make sure there are not any surprise repairs needed.
Q. "What will a pre-purchase inspection tell me?"

One important thing to consider before purchasing a vehicle is the condition of your vehicle's parts. We will be able to tell you if there are any concerns with any of the parts and their life expectancy.
Q. "How can a pre-purchase inspection help me get a better price at the dealership?"

If we notice any signs of a future repair needed, this can help you negotiate or possibly save you from a bad investment.
Q. "What is a Digital Vehicle Inspection?"

With a complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) on every visit, you’ll see firsthand photos of your vehicle from under the hood.
