Dave is an awesome resource when buying a car or even learning how to properly maintain the one you…read morehave. He was thorough, walked me through everything, gave me great guidance on wear/tear and proper maintenance of my 'new to me' car! He made me feel 1000% better about my recent used car purchase. I would have immediately returned the car had he made the recommendation to do so. He also clearly loves his work and was so helpful for identifying a potential maintenance issue we needed to do to keep the car in top shape. I'll be using him again to review the well loved car I currently own to see if I should ditch it or fix it. Thanks Dave, you are a wealth of super useful info!!

My wife and I were in the market for a new vehicle on a Sunday. We were looking in the Kent area…read moreand we wanted someone to perform a vehicle inspection before we bought the car. Jack was quick to respond and very communicative about what his eta and what he was doing. He arrived on time to the car lot and answered all my questions. He did a very thorough job and gave us am honest unbiased opinion on whether or not we should buy the car. There some notable things wrong with it which he pointed out and even estimated how much those would be to fix. We felt confident buying this used vehicle because Jack was there to tell us his thoughts. We also loved that he was very kind and relatable. We immediately felt like we could trust him. I will say the one con was instead of an email detailing everything he found on some official looking letterhead. We just got a text message.

They followed up the next day; problem which was not mechanical or electrical, nor did it require new parts. They address the problem and test drove it multiple times to make sure the Check Engine sign did not come back on. I felt I was in good hands with good people. Five Stars.

My husband and I highly recommend Marvin from Nspectacar. He did an outstanding job with the…read morepre-purchase inspection on our 2012 Toyota Highlander! The inspection was extremely detailed and accurate. Even though we were located several states away, he made the whole process effortless: he arranged the appointment with the dealership, performed the inspection on-site, and provided a comprehensive report complete with photos and clear explanations. Thanks to his findings, we identified small problems like an A/C system that needed servicing and a minor windshield chip, which allowed us to successfully negotiate $600 off the purchase price immediately. He also prevented us from making a big mistake earlier by pointing out serious issues on a different vehicle we were eyeing. Marvin's knowledge, thoroughness, and communication were excellent from start to finish. Fantastic service all around!

He test drove and inspected my 2023 Kona EV onsite at Enterprise Car Sales, he found an error code on his diagnostic scanner and advised me not to buy the car until the issue was resolved by Enterprise. Even after inspecting the car, Marvin continued to offer his expertise and support while Enterprise addressed the issue. Since the car was still under manufacturer warranty, the problem was fixed by Hyundai's Service Center. Marvin helped me to feel confident about insisting Enterprise fix the issue before I purchase it. Nspectacar is a great value!

It's rare to find a quality shop open on weekends these days. While I waited in their comfy lobby, I actually enjoyed chatting with the team. It felt more like catching up with friends than sitting in a mechanic's lobby. They are 100% transparent. Brandon only noted a repair I already knew was coming up and never pressured me to spend more. They truly love what they do and care about their clients. Definitely turning into a regular here!

I almost bought the car I liked because I didn't think anyone would be able to see it before I had to return it. I am so glad I didn't do that. Service: In comes James from Automotive Inspection Services, who was able to come to my parked car that same day and give a thorough inspection. He's a really friendly guy and must have taken 50 photos in addition to driving the vehicle around the area. The whole time, he educated me on what to look for in terms of leaks and vehicle performance, and is generally easy to talk to. I still like the car, but with James' help, was able to go in with a significantly lower-but more importantly CONFIDENT-offer. Reflection on experience: I think James' services were more helpful because the dealership has their own motivation to sell or overlook things. My regular mechanic may have even tried to sell me some kind of service, but James was there for advice. He even followed up the next day to see where I was on the purchase.
