Available extended warranty packages
At the time of your booking, you can add an extended warranty to your inspection. It's the product Total Confidence Guarantee, offered in three levels to suit your needs and budget.
| PACKAGE | DURATION | PRICE |
|---|---|---|
| Total Confidence Guarantee — Essential | 3 months | 249 Canadian Dollars |
| Total Confidence Guarantee — Standard | 1 year | 1,000 Canadian Dollars |
| Total Confidence Guarantee — Premium | 3 years | 3,000 Canadian Dollars |
These packages are a supplement to the pre-purchase inspection. They do not replace it: the inspection gives you a clear picture of the vehicle's condition before purchase, and the warranty covers you once you have acquired it.
For a medium to high-value vehicle, the 1-year or 3-year package is worth serious consideration.

FAQ — Car Inspection in Gatineau and the Outaouais
Does Meca Home Concept really travel to Gatineau and the towns in the Outaouais region?
Yes. The service covers Gatineau as a whole, including Hull, Aylmer, Buckingham, Masson-Angers, Le Plateau, Cantley, and Chelsea. It also extends to neighboring French-speaking towns in Ontario such as Rockland, Clarence-Rockland, Embrun, Russell, and Casselman. Travel is included in the inspection price.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take in Gatineau?
In general, between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the vehicle's condition and the type of service chosen. You do not have to be present for the entire duration, but it is recommended if you wish to ask the inspector questions directly.
Does the seller have to be present during the inspection?
The seller must make the vehicle accessible at the agreed-upon location. Their presence is not mandatory, but it makes access to the keys and the passenger compartment easier. Most buyers arrange the inspection directly with the seller by simply explaining that an independent inspector will be coming.
Will I receive the report the same day?
The full report with photos and recommendations is delivered within 24 hours following the inspection. In many cases, it is available the same evening.
What is the difference between a pre-purchase inspection and the Total Confidence Guarantee?

The Total Confidence Warranty is an extended warranty that you can add to cover the vehicle once purchased. Both products are distinct and complementary.
Does Meca Home Concept also inspect vehicles purchased from a dealership in Gatineau?
Yes. The service applies to both private sales and transactions at a dealership. If you would like an independent appraisal before finalizing a purchase at a local dealership, the inspector can travel directly to the point of sale.
