IN WASHINGTON. ON YOUR SIDE.
Remote car inspections for Washington purchases
Buying a Washington car from out of state? Our remote inspection service means Antone visits the vehicle in person while you review the findings from wherever you are. We come to the car, so you don’t have to travel just to find out what condition it’s in. Antone Hempstock, an ASE-Certified Master Automobile Technician, inspects at the seller’s location and explains the findings in a private online report.
Modern inspection: $299. Classic inspection: $399. Review your full order total before payment. See inspection pricing.
From a distant listing to a clearer decision
- Tell us about the Washington vehicle. Order online with its details, seller contact and location. No sign-in is required to order or pay.
- We coordinate access with the seller. Dealer and private-seller vehicles are welcome. You don’t need to attend. Availability, access, travel and safe conditions determine scheduling.
- Review photos and plain-English findings. Your report includes the recorded checks, tire measurements, paint readings on compatible panels, and supported scan results. Road testing is performed when safe and permitted.
- Talk through the report with Antone. A phone walkthrough is included at no extra charge. Ask about the findings before deciding whether to travel or proceed with the purchase.
The car must be in our Washington service area
For a vehicle in Seattle, see Seattle pre-purchase car inspections for local seller-access details. Choose the $299 Modern inspection or $399 Classic inspection by vehicle age; the same packages apply when you order from out of state.
You can order from elsewhere in the United States. The inspection takes place at the vehicle’s Washington location, within our service area. Enter that location during checkout so we can coordinate the inspection. Questions about coverage? Call 206-843-7600.

Call 206-843-7600 to arrange your walkthrough →A minimum five-mile test drive is included when the vehicle is safe to drive and the seller permits it. We record before- and after-test-drive mileage and document any road-test limitations.

An inspection is a visual, non-invasive condition assessment, not a warranty or a guarantee of future reliability. We do not handle purchase funds, verify title ownership or arrange transport. Discuss significant findings and uninspected items before committing to the vehicle.
