Know what can be checked on site
A mobile review can assess accessible warning lights, starting behavior, visible leaks, tire condition, and other observable clues. It cannot guarantee the absence of hidden defects, predict future reliability, or substitute for a lift, disassembly, or specialist testing.
Ask the seller whether a cold start is possible and obtain permission for any road test. Do not put the vehicle on a steep or unstable slope for inspection. Review title, accident, service, and recall records separately.
Ask for an accessible seller-approved space
A level, well-lit driveway or approved lot is better than a tight curb on an incline. Confirm access to the cabin, engine bay, and vehicle controls. Apartment garages and dealership lots may have rules that require advance approval.
Send the exact Los Feliz address, garage height, slope, gate process, and time window. If the seller cannot grant access or the vehicle is blocked in, reschedule rather than completing a limited check without agreement.
Use observations alongside other records
Provide the VIN if available, advertised mileage, seller disclosures, listing, and concerns you want evaluated. The findings can point to follow-up tests or questions, but they do not establish the full repair cost for hidden conditions.
The pre-purchase inspection price is $199, subject to confirming the vehicle and location. Any separate diagnostic service or repair requires authorization. Hye Tech does not negotiate the purchase or certify a car as defect-free.
Questions about this appointment
Does an inspection guarantee there are no hidden issues?
No. A mobile inspection covers observable conditions at one point in time and cannot uncover every defect.
Can I book before the seller agrees?
Arrange permission and access with the seller first. Hye Tech needs an approved time and safe place to inspect the vehicle.
