Pre-Purchase Inspections

Buying a Used EV? Know Before You Buy.

Independent mobile pre-purchase inspections for Tesla, Rivian and other eligible EVs across Minnesota. We inspect the vehicle where it sits — private party or dealership — before the money moves.

What We Check

A Real Inspection, Not a Checklist Photo Op.

We focus on the systems that matter most in a used EV — the ones that are expensive to fix and easy to hide.

Battery & charging health

Observed range behavior, charging speed, error history, and high-voltage system health checks relevant to the model.

Suspension & brakes

Undercarriage, control arms, bushings, brake calipers, rotors, pads and tire condition — the wear items that cost real money.

Electrical & software

Stored fault codes, module communication, 12V system health, and a review of any active warning messages.

Body, glass & interior

Panel gaps, paint condition, glass chips, interior wear, and signs of previous repair or undisclosed damage.

Why Inspect

Avoid the Costly Surprise.

Used EVs can hide expensive problems behind clean paint and low mileage. A focused inspection pays for itself the first time it catches a battery, suspension, or electrical issue.
