Benefits of Pre-Purchase Inspection

Posted on by

When looking at a new car there are many things to consider besides just the amount, style and performance. You need to make sure that there are no hidden problems, no accidents that you have not been informed about and numerous other important parts to check. Recently we did a pre-purchase inspection on a used Mercedes-Benz.  During our pre-purchase inspections, we check the wear on the front and rear brake pads and rotors, measure the tread on all four tires, check for fluid leaks throughout the vehicle, and check for body and paint damage. We also verify the operation of the electronics throughout the car; verify service history and road test the vehicle.  We are also careful to note things such as the spare tire missing parts or the car jack missing parts, for example.  This Mercedes-Benz CLS was in pretty good shape, but it is always better to be safe than sorry! Have us check out your potential new car and make sure you are not missing any important details on your Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW or Porsche.

Posted on by

It’s not every day you get to see such a beautiful car as the Ferrari Scuderia. And a day where you get to listen to it on the dynamometer is a wonderful experience. This Ferrari has a 4.3 L V8 engine with 483 brake horsepower for a top speed of 196 mph.  For this particular Ferrari, we are doing a dyno run before installing high flow catalytic converters and equal length headers for performance upgrades. After which we will do a dyno run again to measure the increases.
