We Handle the Seller

Coordinating with a private seller on Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji can be stressful. We take that off your plate completely by reaching out to them directly to arrange the meeting spot and time.

You do not even need to attend the inspection. We perform the complete diagnostic check on-site and send the results straight to your mobile device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mobile Used Car Inspection Halifax

What is a pre purchase inspection?

A pre purchase inspection is a full mechanical check of a used car carried out by an experienced mechanic before you buy it. Scotia Mobile Car Check inspects the used car at its location and gives you a complete report on its mechanical condition so you can make an informed decision before handing over your money.

How much does a used car inspection cost in Halifax ?

Scotia Mobile Car Check charges $120 for a full mobile pre purchase inspection in Halifax and surrounding Nova Scotia areas. This includes a full mechanical inspection, ECU diagnostic check and written inspection report.

How long does a used car inspection take?

Our mobile mechanic completes a full used car inspection in approximately 60 minutes. This covers all major mechanical systems, ECU diagnostics and a full condition report.

Do I need to bring the car to you?

No. We are fully mobile. We come to wherever the used car is located in Halifax, Bedford, Dartmouth, Sackville, Cole Harbour, Fall River and surrounding HRM areas. You do not need to move the vehicle.

Can you check for hidden fault codes?

Yes. Every inspection includes a professional ECU diagnostic check. We connect to the car's computer system and check for active fault codes, cleared codes and hidden engine warning lights that private sellers sometimes clear before listing their car for sale.

When should I book a pre purchase inspection?

Book your inspection before you agree to buy and before you hand over any money. Tell the seller you want to check the car first — any honest seller will agree. If they refuse, that is a red flag.
