Beware hurricane-damaged vehicles coming here from the Gulf coast. Don't get soaked - call KarChek before you buy!

Two local used car dealers were recently arrested for selling rebuilt wrecks with "cleaned" registrations. Not only were they selling these cars off their own lots, but they were also selling to other reputable dealers. Read the full story here. This news story highlights a growing problem that will be even greater with the "flood" of water-damaged vehicles coming up from the Gulf coast after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Amazingly, it's not that hard to conceal water damage, but there are tricks and clues that KarChek knows to look for - just a few of the hundreds of items on the list - making a pre-purchase call to KarChek more essential than ever!

You're always wary about buying used cars, but when it makes economic sense to buy a used car, apply some common sense and get a little peace-of-mind insurance. A detailed KarChek vehicle inspection report can help you make an informed decision before you make a purchase, and might even offer you a little bargaining power in the process.

Think of KarChek as "your brother-in-law the mechanic," the one you always call before buying a used car. We employ only master mechanics who are ASE-certified technicians in both general automotive repair as well as auto frame damage. What's more, KarChek mechanics don't do repairs - not even "on the side" - in order to ensure an impartial evaluation of every vehicle.

• Did you know that 20% (or more!) of the late-model cars that are catastrophically destroyed in auto accidents are rebuilt and returned to the used-car market?  Click here to read more about this eye-opening report.

• A  backyard mechanic might use a block-and-tackle stretched between two trees to straighten a frame when a qualified professional will use a laser-guided frame straightening machine. We can tell the difference. Click here to read more about our credentials.

• We come to the car. Our comprehensive inspection checklist allows us to give you an informed evaluation of the vehicle, and can help identify a well-restored wrecked vehicle as well as one that was restored badly. Click here to read more about how our service works.

Thanks Jim for the great service. It's comforting to know that a knowledgeable mechanic has gone through my new (used) vehicle. I'll make sure to tell everyone I know about your service.

Thanks again,
Dale
