Classic Car Inspection · $399
Classic car pre-purchase inspection — $399
Older vehicles deserve a careful look before purchase. Our $399 Classic Car Inspection is for vehicles more than 20 years old—model year 2005 and older today.
Condition in context
We document accessible body and finish condition, visible corrosion or previous repair concerns, interior condition, engine-compartment observations, tires, wheels and other accessible mechanical components. Share known modifications and specific concerns when placing your order.
The inspection report combines written findings with photos and available measurements. Individual tire and wheel entries help you review brand, size, tread depth and visible issues. Road testing depends on safety and seller permission.

Order online with vehicle, seller and customer details, and pay through Square. We coordinate vehicle access and confirm scheduling separately. Once published, your inspection report is available through your email sign-in account.
Arrange a classic inspection at the seller’s location
For a Seattle vehicle, review our Seattle mobile inspection service alongside the classic-car scope above. Our out-of-state buyer service explains how to receive and discuss the report from elsewhere.
Our mobile service area covers our large Washington service area, from roughly an hour south of Olympia to Bellingham, about two hours east of I-5, and across the entire Olympic Peninsula. We confirm travel and seller access before setting the date.
This is a visual, non-invasive condition inspection. It does not certify authenticity, matching numbers, restoration quality, value, future reliability or warranty coverage. Vehicles 20 years old and newer use the $299 Modern Used Car Inspection.
Independent inspection, clear findings
Your vehicle is inspected by an ASE-Certified Master Automobile Technician. We are based in the Olympia area and travel to the seller. Read our pre-purchase inspection guide to prepare the seller’s details and your concerns before booking.

A CLOSER LOOK · FEWER SURPRISES
See how we turn inspection findings into useful answers
Here’s how our inspection approach connects photos, measurements and plain-English observations to your purchase decision.
These walkthroughs use our demonstration reports and illustrative sample photos. They are not accounts of completed customer inspections. Photos show the area discussed; measurements and scan results are recorded separately in the report.
Look beyond the shiny exterior
The recorded findingThe classic sample documents rust near a seam in the metal floor, alongside paint differences at the left rear quarter.
What it means for youLocation and extent matter. Accessible-area photos help you identify what needs closer evaluation; a tidy exterior cannot establish the condition of concealed areas.
A useful question before buyingWhat is the repair scope, and does it fit your plans and budget?
Good road-test behavior does not erase visible wear
The recorded findingThe classic sample records straight controlled stops, but also surface cracks on a flexible brake hose.
What it means for youThe report calls for replacement of the deteriorated hose before further driving. We explain important individual findings rather than letting one reassuring observation cancel another concern.
A useful question before buyingCan the deteriorated hose be replaced before the vehicle is driven?
