Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection Is Essential
A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) is the smartest investment you can make before buying any used import vehicle. While a car may look clean and run smoothly during a test drive, hidden issues can turn into expensive repairs after purchase.
A professional inspection helps you:
Verify the car’s true condition and value
Identify hidden problems (engine, transmission, suspension, electronics)
Check for accident repairs or structural damage
Confirm maintenance history and upcoming service needs
Strengthen your negotiating position with accurate information
With our report in hand, you’ll know exactly what you’re buying — and what to expect.
What’s Included in Our Pre-Purchase Inspection

Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection FAQs – Hash Imports of Fishers, IN
Do you specialize in pre-purchase inspections for import vehicles?
Yes — Hash Imports performs detailed pre-purchase inspections exclusively for European and Asian vehicles, including Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, and Volkswagen. Our ASE-certified technicians use factory-grade tools and manufacturer inspection procedures to evaluate your vehicle thoroughly before you buy.
Do you perform pre-purchase inspections on diesel, EV, or hybrid vehicles?
No — Hash Imports does not perform pre-purchase inspections on diesel, fully electric (EV), or hybrid vehicles. We specialize exclusively in gasoline-powered import vehicles and can provide comprehensive pre-purchase inspections for those models to ensure transparency and confidence before you buy.
Why should I get a pre-purchase inspection before buying a used car?
Even well-maintained cars can hide problems that aren’t visible during a test drive. A pre-purchase inspection identifies mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic issues that could lead to costly repairs later. It also provides leverage for negotiating the best price — or walking away from a risky purchase.
What’s included in your pre-purchase inspection?
Our inspection includes:
- Comprehensive mechanical and electronic evaluation
- Full diagnostic scan using factory-level tools
- Brake, suspension, and steering system inspection
- Battery, alternator, and charging system testing
- Cooling and exhaust system checks
- Road test and performance analysis
- Written report with findings and recommendations
We give you a clear overview of the vehicle’s current condition, upcoming maintenance, and any concerns to be aware of.
Can you check for hidden issues that don’t show warning lights?
Yes — we use manufacturer diagnostic software to access stored and pending fault codes that may not trigger a dashboard light yet. This allows us to catch developing problems early, such as weak sensors, misfires, or emissions issues.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
A typical inspection takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the vehicle’s complexity. We take the time to check every critical system carefully and produce a comprehensive, easy-to-read report.
Do I get a written report with the inspection results?
Yes — every inspection includes a digital and printed report outlining our findings, prioritized by severity:
- Immediate concerns (safety or mechanical issues)
- Upcoming maintenance items
- General condition notes
We also provide photos or scan data when relevant, so you have clear evidence to use in your buying decision.
Can you perform a pre-purchase inspection on hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicles?
Yes. Our ASE-certified technicians are trained to inspect hybrid and PHEV systems, including auxiliary batteries, cooling circuits, and inverters. We use OEM diagnostic tools to ensure all hybrid systems are functioning properly.
Will you communicate directly with the seller or dealership if needed?
Yes — with your permission, we can share our inspection findings with the seller or dealer, helping clarify any issues and supporting your negotiation process. We remain neutral and professional, focusing solely on your best interests as the buyer.
