Electric and hybrid cars · Metro Atlanta and Orlando

Pre-purchase inspections for electric and hybrid cars.

Fully electric cars (no engine at all, battery only) are inspected on Enhanced or Elite. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids can choose any tier. Here is what each one gets, so you know what you are paying for before you book.

Fully electric

What a fully electric car gets.

A fully electric car gets its own checks, which take more time: the battery's charge and range, an underbody check of the high-voltage battery's shield, and the diagnostic scan where the car allows it.

  • Charge and range. Your inspector records the battery's charge and range on arrival, and the range again after the test drive when the seller allows one.
  • The battery's underbody shield. Your inspector checks the high-voltage battery's underbody shield for damage.
  • The diagnostic scan, where the car allows it. Scan depth varies by manufacturer. A small number of EVs, including Lucid and Rivian, restrict full-system and high-voltage access to franchise dealer tools. If your vehicle is affected we will tell you before you book.

All of that sits on top of the full mechanical and safety inspection every car gets: brakes, suspension and steering, underbody and structure, and a road test when the seller allows it and it is safe and legal to drive.

Book Elite

We come to the car. A travel fee may apply depending on where the vehicle is, and we confirm it with you before the inspection.

Hybrids and plug-in hybrids

Hybrids and plug-in hybrids can choose any tier.

A hybrid or plug-in hybrid gets the full inspection and the dealer-level diagnostic scan (availability varies by make and year) on every tier. Choose the tier by how much detail you want, the same way you would for any other car.

The inspection does not test the hybrid battery itself. For a plug-in hybrid, ask us about the battery test below. It does not cover standard hybrids.

Battery health

Want a number for the battery's health?

The inspection records charge and range. A battery health percentage comes only from an independent battery test, which we offer in metro Atlanta. See how the battery test works.
