"Daniel was AMAZING at thoroughly performing the full Pre-Purchase Inspection that we needed today. The peace my husband and I had after receiving his report which noted a few issues with the car we wanted to buy made negotiating easier. Daniel was professional, prompt, and worked efficiently at inspecting the car. I loved that he is a Mobile Mechanic and met me at the dealership. He answered all of our questions and provided a detailed report with pictures of his findings. As a result, we were blessed to share his report with the Sales Mgr which gave us the leverage in negotiating a lower base price. Also, the dealership offered to make the repairs at no additional cost which ultimately saved us thousands of dollars in repairs. I highly recommend Auto DNA if you're looking for a mobile pre-purchase inspection mechanic. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend signing or buying a vehicle until you do. The cost was reasonable for a peace of mind. Thanks again, Daniel. God bless you, Sir."

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to be present during the inspection?

No. Most of our inspections are completed remotely. We inspect the vehicle at the seller’s location, then send you a detailed report with photos and inspector comments. If you prefer, you can also meet the inspector in person and walk through the findings together.

2. Where do you inspect the vehicle?

We’re a mobile inspection service, so we come directly to the vehicle—whether it’s at a dealership, a private seller’s location, or another agreed meeting place. We cover the entire DFW area. For locations outside DFW, a transportation fee may apply depending on the distance.

3. What vehicles do you inspect?

We inspect virtually all passenger vehicles, including stock and modified cars, sports cars, off-road builds, SUVs, pickup trucks, hybrids, and electric vehicles. At this time, we do not inspect commercial vehicles.

4. How long does an inspection take?

A Basic Diagnostic Check typically takes 20–40 minutes. A Full Pre-Purchase Inspection usually takes 60–90 minutes, depending on the vehicle and its overall condition.

5. What areas do you serve?

We cover the entire Dallas–Fort Worth area. Inspections outside DFW may be available for an additional transportation fee, depending on the distance.

6. How does payment work?

You can book and pay in advance using the “Book Inspection” button on our website. If you prefer not to pay upfront, you can schedule your inspection by phone or WhatsApp. Once the inspection is complete, we’ll send you payment instructions.
