Flood-Damaged Vehicle Detection
Buying a used vehicle in East Texas? After Hurricane Beryl, flood-damaged vehicles from the Gulf Coast have been showing up in regional resale listings — sometimes cosmetically cleaned and unmarked on title reports.
Our pre-purchase inspection includes specific checks for water intrusion: pulling back carpet to inspect floor pans for corrosion and silt deposits, examining seat rails and seat belt mechanisms for water staining, checking electrical connectors and control modules for moisture, inspecting the spare tire well, evaluating the engine bay for high-water marks, and testing systems that often fail months after submersion.
A car that drove through standing water is not the same vehicle six months later. We help you tell the difference before you sign.

•Overall vehicle condition rating
•List of current problems
•Potential future issues

Investment Protection
The cost of an inspection is minimal compared to the thousands you could save by avoiding a vehicle with hidden problems. It's also a powerful negotiating tool when discussing price with sellers.
