About

CarFax can be incorrect, sellers often lie. Our mobile pre-purchase inspection service will set the record straight with prompt service, pro level data gathering and accurate condition reports . Visit our website for more details.

A pre-purchase inspection is a professional service that evaluates a vehicle’s condition before a purchase offer is made. The evaluator, master mechanic Norris Schleeter, examines the vehicle in person for the current state of its mechanical, electrical, body, safety, and maintenance systems. A large and thorough report documented with photographs and scentific data is provided by e-mail. The inspection and report take about 2 hours once we reach the vehicle.

First class inspector
I want to thank Norris for saving me thousands of $$$ . He checked out a 73 Grandville convertible for me that was really nice in the pics online. After asking the owner about the electrics in the car "everything works , a good daily driver" . Norris report (27 pages) showed me ALOT of problems. After reading the report I deemed unsafe to drive without many repairs. If I ever look at a car in his area again I would not even consider buying it without first having Norris looking it over for me .. Thanks again Norris.....

Legit
Our lawyer sent Norris over to inspect the vehicle we purchased and we couldn't be any happier. Norris knows his stuff. I'd recommend his services before you buy a car or if you get screwed over by the dealership like we did. 250 is definitely cheaper than thousands of dollars of headache. Just give him a call and thank me later.

First Time using SOS and it was worth it.
Thanks Norris for the excellent inspection on the 2011 Ford Focus S. It looked too good to be true but turned out it was. After your super detailed inspection we had the confidence it was perfect and we purchased the vehicle. Thanks again!

Pre Purchase Inspection - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder
Anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle but wants a second opinion on it beforehand, I’d recommend SOS Inspections. Mike was friendly and easy to work with to schedule an appointment. Norris was very thorough with the report and took pictures to prove everything he was saying. I would have traveled 1700 miles for this truck and found out it was not in the condition I wanted if it weren’t for these folks. This service was definitely worth every penny!

Great service
We got an inspection of a used vehicle we wanted to purchase on short notice. Felt much relieved to get the all-clear.

Well worth the investment
SOS service was extremely thorough. I honestly feel I got more than what I paid for. He was honest and straight forward. I don’t know anything about cars and this was my first car purchase. I had already committed that I was not going to make a purchase in the thousands without having an expert provide reliable feedback. Especially since I went to the car dealer by myself. He told me what to say and what concessions to ask for based on the work that needed to be done. Like I said, delivered more than what I paid for. Proud of myself for making the investment.

Inspection for used car purchase
This service was probably the best service I've ever spent my money on before spending thousands on a new, but used car, for my own piece of mind. I cannot say thank you enough!!! Super thorough from beginning to end, detailed all the way through. So grateful for S.O.S.!!!

1968 Charger
Norris was amazing. Had him look at a 68 Charger and he went into GREAT length and detail of figuring the ins and outs. Even gave me suggestions on what would need to be done to make it a better driver, on what is expected to be maintained, what the kinks were and what the build of the car was. And that's just the inspection sheet. When we then talked on the phone it was a great talk about my personal intentions of the vehicle and what I could do with those intentions that would make it an even BETTER driver. Which then led to the common mistakes when dealing with classic car restorations and what I could do to avoid making those same mistakes in the future. The vehicle not being provided with a spec sheet, any more detail other than the engine and transmission, I was unaware of the details the dealership holding the car had themselves. That being said, I'm now informed on the car being built to be "original" and very very special which is on the other end of the spectrum I was looking for (mainly because my intention of replacing the guts to turn into a daily driver and I feel would be a catastrophe to take that away from someone who'd want an original). Whether or not I end up with the vehicle, he more than helped me understand where this vehicle sits. Thank you to Mike for setting everything up and being communicative. To Norris for being insanely knowledgeable, informative, quick, on his feet and a bad ass dude for being as helpful and straightforward as you'd want. Awesome work yall !

Life Saver
I contacted SOS in regards to a pre-purchased inspection of a 1988 Mustang that’s located in Colorado Springs. My intentions were to fly in from Atlanta and drive the Mustang cross country back to Georgia from Colorado Springs. SOS saved me a lot of $$$$ and hassles. Worth every dime and wow what a through post inspection report! THIRTY NINE PAGES!!!! Thank you again Norris. You’re a true life saver.

Save yourself a headache
I’ve used SOS on 5 separate occasions. Norris has saved me from cracked frames and bent suspensions. Don’t trust the dealership inspections, the inspector works for the dealership,Norris works for you. There are some dealerships that won’t allow him on their lots because of what he might find. He called me after my last inspection and told me to go get the car before it gets away! The cost far outweighs what he will save you in repairs and surprises. Thank you Norris and Mike Steve
