Pre-Purchase Car Inspection in Kennesaw, GA

Looking at a used car in Kennesaw? One of our certified technicians meets the car on the Barrett Parkway dealer strip or at the seller's home.

What do we see on used cars in Kennesaw?

Kennesaw is a dealer town. Most of the cars we inspect here sit on lots along Cobb Place Boulevard, Barrett Lakes Boulevard and Ernest Barrett Parkway, near Town Center, where franchise stores and independent lots stand side by side. Body work is the finding we keep coming back to in Kennesaw. Our technicians have found body filler under a fender, a hood and fender repainted with fisheyes, a Maserati bumper with a poor repaint that still smelled of fresh paint, and a car with three panels repainted plus an ABS wheel-speed fault. Kennesaw buyers also bring us Highlanders, Corvettes, F-150s and Transit vans, and our scans have found four-wheel-drive faults caused by nothing more than mismatched tires. On Enhanced and Elite the Panel-by-Panel Repaint & Body Filler Check looks for that kind of body work, and what it finds can change what you are willing to pay.

Frequently asked questions

Questions Kennesaw buyers ask.

Can you tell if a Kennesaw dealer car has been in an accident?

Enhanced and Elite include Accident Investigation and the Panel-by-Panel Repaint & Body Filler Check. In Kennesaw that check has found filler and repaints that were not disclosed.

Do you go to the dealers near Town Center Mall?

Yes. Our technicians regularly inspect cars on the Cobb Place Boulevard and Barrett Lakes Boulevard lots. We arrange access with the dealer for you.

Should I worry about tires that do not match?

On four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive cars, yes. Mismatched tires can set fault codes and wear the drivetrain. The report notes tread depth and tire age on all four tires.

Can I add my own questions to a Kennesaw inspection?

Yes. Enhanced includes up to 3 Areas of Concern and Elite up to 6. Each one is answered in writing in your report.
