WHAT IT IS
What this repair actually is
A pre-purchase car inspection in Daytona Beach is the hour that saves you from buying somebody else's problem. The seller's mechanic works for the seller, and the dealership's inspection works for the dealership. Ted works for the person about to hand over the money, and that is the whole value of it.
He drives out to wherever the car is, gets underneath it, scans it for stored and pending codes the seller may have cleared, checks the brakes, tires, belts, and hoses for remaining life, looks the engine bay over for leaks and cover-up work, and gives you a straight verbal rundown while you are still standing there. After forty-five years he knows where the bodies are buried on a used car, and he tells you before the money changes hands.
