It's also the perfect job for a mobile mechanic, pure inspection time, no parts, no specialty equipment. SeaBee Jack offers both the standard multi-point look-over (included with every oil change) and a deeper pre-purchase inspection for anyone buying a used vehicle. Done at your driveway in Surprise, at the seller's location, or wherever the car sits anywhere in the West Valley. ## Multi-Point Inspection that comes to you The inspection is a structured walk-around with the vehicle on jackstands. Jack checks each system in order and writes down what he finds, with a clear traffic-light read on each, green (good), yellow (watch), red (needs attention). - Tire tread depth measured in 32nds, pressure set to door-jamb spec, wear pattern read for alignment/suspension issues- Brakes, pad thickness in millimeters, rotor condition, hose and caliper visual- Fluids, engine oil, coolant, ATF, brake, power steering, washer; color, level, smell- Belt and hose condition, cracks, glazing, soft spots- Battery state-of-health load test and terminal inspection- Suspension visual, CV boots, ball joint boots, sway bar links, shock leaks- Exhaust system, hangers, rust-through, leaks- Lights, headlights, brake, turn, reverse, license plate- Wipers and washer function- OBD-II scan, current, pending, and stored codes; readiness monitors- Written summary you can keep, with photos for anything significant ## Signs you need a multi-point inspection - You're considering buying a used car and want an honest opinion before signing- You're heading on a road trip and want peace of mind before the drive- You've moved to AZ recently and want a baseline read on your vehicle in the heat- Something feels off but you can't quite name it, sound, vibration, smell- You're selling a vehicle and want documentation of its condition- It's been a long time since anyone really looked the car over ## Why a mobile mechanic makes sense for inspections Inspections are 100% inspection, no parts to install, no fluids to drain, just an experienced set of eyes going over a vehicle. That's a textbook mobile job. You don't have to schedule a shop appointment for a service you might not even need. Jack comes to where the car is, looks it over, writes it up, and leaves you with the information. For pre-purchase inspections specifically, mobile is essentially the only option that makes sense. Asking a private seller to drive their car to your shop is a non-starter. Jack meets you at the seller's location, does the inspection right there, and you get a real read before any money changes hands. That alone has saved buyers thousands in deferred maintenance they would've inherited. ## How it works at your driveway in Surprise Call or text Jack at (623) 226-3940.

A visual multi-point look-over comes free with every oil change, tires, belts, hoses, leaks, fluid levels, brake visual. The standalone full inspection (without other service) is a flat-rate visit and includes a written summary. ### Do you do pre-purchase inspections on used cars? Yes. If you're looking at buying a used vehicle from a private party or a dealer, Jack will meet you at the seller's location and do a thorough used-car inspection, engine condition, leaks, brakes, suspension visual, tire wear pattern, OBD-II scan, fluid quality. You get a written summary you can use to negotiate or walk away. ### What does the inspection actually cover? Tire tread depth and pressure, brake pad/rotor visual, fluid levels and condition across all systems, belt and hose condition, battery state-of-health, suspension visual (boots, bushings, leaks), exhaust hangers, light operation, wiper condition, and an OBD-II scan for any pending or stored codes. ### Will you pressure me to fix everything you find? No. Jack tells you what needs attention now, what to watch, and what can wait. No high-pressure sales. If something is genuinely safety-critical he'll say so directly, otherwise it's information for you to act on. ### How long does a full inspection take? Usually 45 minutes to an hour for a full standalone inspection. Pre-purchase inspections can run a bit longer because they include extra diagnostic time and a written report. ### How long does the multi-point inspection take? A standard multi-point inspection runs about 20 minutes. A pre-purchase inspection on a used car can take an hour or more depending on what Jack finds. ### What does an inspection cost? A multi-point inspection bundled with an oil change is included. A standalone inspection or pre-purchase inspection is an honest, upfront flat rate, call (623) 226-3940 for the current price. ### What vehicles can you inspect?

You get a written summary of what was checked, what is in good shape, what is borderline, and what needs attention now. ### Can you tell me if a used car is worth buying? Jack gives you an honest mechanical assessment, what works, what is worn, and what it might cost to address. The buy/don't-buy call is yours, but the report gives you real leverage. --- *Mobile mechanic service in Surprise AZ and the Phoenix West Valley. Call (623) 226-3940 for honest upfront pricing.*
