Buying a used car from a Private Owner? Get it inspected first — for only $179

Send us the listing, get the seller's OK with one message, and we handle the rest. Your card is only charged once the seller agrees to the inspection.

  1. 1. Submit the listing

    Paste the Autotrader, Cars.com, Facebook Marketplace or other listing link, plus the car and your details.

  2. 2. Send the seller our message

    Send a short note asking if they’re open to an inspection, then our approval link once they reply.

  3. 3. The seller approves

    They approve or decline in one tap — no account needed.

  4. 4. You pay $179

    Only after the seller approves. No approval means no payment request.

  5. 5. An inspector is assigned

    A local inspector accepts the job and schedules the visit with the seller.

  6. 6. You get the Full report

    Findings and photos are emailed to you as soon as the inspection is done.

Fields marked are required.

Buyer

Vehicle information

Enter the location of the car you want inspected, not your own location.

Seller information

You don't need the seller's contact information to submit your request. Autoquiry will generate a message you can copy and send to the seller through the original listing platform.

Seller cooperation is required

The seller must agree to the inspection before we can dispatch an inspector. You are not charged anything now — the $179 is only due once the seller approves access.

No charge now. If the seller agrees, you'll pay $179 by card for the Full report — emailed to you once the inspection is done.
