Bring These to Your Inspection

A few inexpensive tools that catch what a walk-around alone won't

    Checks cylinder compression to catch worn rings or valve issues before you buy.

    View →
  • OBD2 Code Reader

    Reads check-engine codes the seller may not have mentioned — plug in before you even pop the hood.

    View →
  • Magnetic Paint Thickness Tester

    A magnet pulls weaker over filler/bondo than bare metal — a quick way to spot hidden bodywork.

    View →
  • Telescoping Inspection Mirror & Light Set

    See up into wheel wells and behind components without crawling underneath.
