BEFORE YOU BUY

Decide before the problems become yours

A car may look spotless while hiding corrosion, wear or expensive upcoming repairs. Our visual and functional inspection gives you concrete findings to negotiate, compare or walk away before the transaction.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

Pre-purchase inspection and SAAQ mechanical inspection: two different processes

Our pre-purchase inspection helps you understand a vehicle’s apparent condition before buying it. It includes a photo report and recommendations, but it is not an official mechanical inspection. When a SAAQ mechanical inspection is required, it must be carried out by a road vehicle inspection agent authorized by the SAAQ.

Meca Home Concept’s inspection does not replace an official SAAQ mechanical inspection when one is required.
