Inspections That Tell You Everything
Pre-purchase, safety, rideshare, fleet, or just "is this thing healthy?" — an inspection from Green Drop is designed to give you a full, honest picture of a vehicle, not a checkbox form.
We inspect the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, tires, cooling system, electrical system, frame, and fluids. We pull codes from every module, road-test the vehicle, and document findings with photos where it matters. You leave with a written report — green/yellow/red — that tells you exactly what's good, what's watching, and what needs attention now.
A real inspection takes time. We schedule 1–2 hours for pre-purchase work and don't rush the findings.
The Pre-Purchase Inspection Philosophy
Buying a used car is the most common place a thousand-dollar mistake hides behind a clean detail job. The seller's "it runs great" is free; our pre-purchase inspection gives you an independent, documented assessment — and often saves you more than the cost of the inspection on your first negotiation.
We inspect like we'd inspect a car for a family member. That means we pull a scan tool report (hidden stored codes from dealer erases), check frame for collision history, measure brake and tire wear, pressure-test cooling, inspect underbody rust, verify fluid condition (not just level), road-test in both city and highway conditions, and photograph anything that's not healthy.
The report is yours. Share it with the seller, use it to negotiate, or walk away — you'll have real information either way.

Inspection Services We Offer
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying used — from a dealer, private seller, or auction. We give you the independent expert assessment before you write a check. 1–2 hours, written report with photos, honest summary of whether the vehicle is worth the asking price.
Safety Inspection
Concerned about an older vehicle, a car someone else drove, or a daily driver approaching high mileage? A safety inspection covers every system that matters for road safety — brakes, steering, suspension, tires, lights, fluids. About 45 minutes.
Rideshare and TNC Inspections
Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare platforms require documented annual vehicle inspections. We complete the required form, inspect to platform standard, and get you documented and back on the road the same day.
Fleet Inspections
Regular inspections for commercial fleet vehicles — contractor trucks, delivery vans, small company fleets. We schedule recurring inspection intervals, maintain service records for your compliance needs, and flag issues before they cost you a truck-day.
Multi-Point Check (With Any Service)
Every oil change at Green Drop includes a multi-point inspection at no extra charge. You get the written report every time — no surprise repairs, just visibility into what's coming.
