A used import can be a great deal or an expensive lesson. Import Specialty Auto's pre-purchase inspection (PPI) gives you an honest, third-party assessment before you sign anything. We inspect mechanical condition, electrical health, suspension and steering, brakes, tires, body and paint, undercarriage, and signs of prior crash or flood damage.
Every PPI includes a full OEM scan of every module, a road test, a fluids check, and a frame and undercarriage inspection. We bring the vehicle to our Colorado Springs shop or — when needed — meet you at the dealership. You walk away with a written report you can use to negotiate or walk away.
We serve buyers across Colorado Springs, Monument, Falcon, Black Forest, Briargate, Fountain, and Manitou Springs. Spend a couple hundred dollars now to avoid a five-figure surprise later.
