Glen Burnie has a busy trade in vehicles at the affordable end of the market, and a car in that band has usually passed through several owners. Each one made their own decision about what to fix properly and what to patch.
Booking starts with the ZIP the vehicle is in, so you know whether we can cover Glen Burnie before you fill in anything else.
A car with one careful owner is straightforward to assess. A car with five is an archaeology problem. Somebody replaced a wheel bearing correctly; somebody else fitted the cheapest available brake pads; a third dealt with a coolant leak by topping it up every fortnight and selling it in spring.
None of that appears on a history report and none of it is disclosed, because most of it is not knowingly hidden — the current owner inherited it too. What an inspection does is read the layers, and tell you which decisions you would be inheriting next.
Every inspection also covers the full checklist — engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tires, body and interior — with a diagnostic scan and a road test where the seller permits one.
Less than what each of them did. A five-owner car that was maintained properly throughout is a better buy than a two-owner car that was neglected by both.
Often, yes. Correct parts, clean workmanship and matched components look different from the cheapest way out, and our report says which we found.
Yes — those fall under our Specialist inspection at $499, with more time on site and an inspector who works on them.
