Seller drops off the truck

We get the seller to drop off the truck at a licensed diesel mechanic truck shop or dealership within 30 minutes of where the truck is located.

We ASK THE MECHANIC TO CHECK THE FOLLOWING

“Here’s what most 3rd-party diesel shops will check during a pre-buyer’s inspection:”

🧰 Typical Pre-Buyer’s Inspection Includes:

  • ✅ Check for blow-by issues
  • ✅ Inspect transmission gears and ensure they all engage properly
  • ✅ Make sure the truck starts reliably
  • ✅ Full drivetrain & transmission inspection
  • ✅ Check frame for cracks
  • ✅ Look for any major fluid or oil leaks
  • ✅ Test lights, turn signals, brake lights
  • ✅ Inspect tires and brake condition
  • ✅ Evaluate suspension and steering systems
  • ✅ Confirm front & rear axle weight using the door sticker
  • ✅ Take photos of:
    • Odometer
    • All 4 sides of the truck
    • Frame
    • Inside the cab
    • Driver-side door sticker

A 3rd-party inspection is a smart move before buying a truck.

We’ll help you coordinate with a trusted local diesel mechanic shop (based on their reviews) to do a full pre-buyer’s inspection. We also coordinate with the seller to drop off the truck at the shop, so you don’t have to handle the back and forth.”
