What do we see on used cars in Sandy Springs?

Sandy Springs has the most exotic mix of any city on our list. Alongside the usual Toyotas and Fords, we inspect Porsche 911s, Mercedes G-Class SUVs, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, and more than four in ten of the cars here are sold by private owners rather than dealers. Expensive cars hide their problems in the electronics, so the diagnostic scan does a lot of the work. Here it has found stored airbag occupant-detection, driver-assist camera and radar codes on a car with a clean dash, active faults in a steering-column module and the ABS power supply, and an emergency-call system that could not register. Our technicians have also condemned a front tire with a sidewall bulge and found early oil seepage around a turbocharger. For an exotic or rare car, Elite is the tier we recommend.

Frequently asked questions

Questions Sandy Springs buyers ask.

Which inspection should I book for a Porsche, Bentley or other exotic in Sandy Springs?

Exotic, rare and specialty cars need Enhanced at minimum, and we strongly recommend Elite, which adds the detailed video walk-through, the most photos and a 30-minute priority consultation with the inspector.

Can you inspect a car at the owner's home in Sandy Springs?

Yes. Many cars here are sold from private garages. We set a time with the owner and the technician inspects the car where it is.

What does the diagnostic scan show that a test drive does not?

Stored and active fault codes in modules like airbags, driver assist, ABS and steering, which often show no light on the dash. Every tier gets a plain-English summary of the scan, and Enhanced and Elite explain each code.

Can you check a car I found near Perimeter Center during the workday?

Yes. The technician meets the car at the dealer or seller, so you can stay at work and read the report when it arrives.
