Jim was great! I was purchasing a used truck from out of state and Jim was able to help me on my…read morecar purchase. He inspected the car in my stead, took lots of photos and gave me a run down of the good and bad. He gave his honest opinion and pointed out things to look out for. I used his report to negotiate with the dealer to lower the purchase price. It was worth it even if I didn't get the price lower through peace of mind alone. I appreciate Jim taking the time to help a Californian out!

Jim is absolutely the guy you want in your corner on a vehicle inspection…read more I spoke and texted with Jim many times on our car seeking journey. He was always very responsive, even on evenings and weekends (including one holiday weekend). He was very flexible and accommodating with scheduling (even though I had to ask him to juggle schedules several times to try to meet our needs), Jim is very knowledgeable, having done this work for decades - answering numerous technical questions and willing to provide his honest opinion and actionable advice. Jim is 100% honest and focused on his customers' needs. His pricing is very fair and the convenience of having him go to the car rather than having to take it to a shop is awesome. I will definitely call Jim the next time we are looking for a used car. Full disclosure, due to logistical issues on my end, I had to use another shop for our pre-purchase inspection service. We also had several false calls, where we were trying to jump on a car and lost it. (Jim was ready, nevertheless.). Absolutely not Jim's issue. (Ultimately, I needed a very particular set of tests for the car we bought and, as I learned from Jim, those tests cannot be performed in the field.) However, I experienced all the above excellent customer service, expertise, and above-and-beyond care. I highly recommend his service. And, he seems like just a great guy.

I've saved about 2500 buying used cars after negotiations. Dave is very thorough, hard working and professional. And did I mention he goes to the seller so there's no inconvenience? Never buy a car without a professional inspection in any case. I recommend PMI for the inspection.

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!!

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.

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.

Since the car was still under manufacturer warranty, the problem was fixed by Hyundai's Service Center.

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.

I've now taken my 2014 BMW 535d to Larsen's Auto Repair a couple of times, and they've earned my…read moretrust. Most recently, I brought the car in after another shop told me I needed rear brakes, calipers, and suspension work totaling a pretty significant bill. Larsen's took the time to actually inspect everything and gave me a much more accurate picture. They confirmed the rear brakes were still in good shape (around 10mm), the control arm bushings were fine, and none of that additional work was needed right now. That kind of honesty is rare. They previously handled my front brake service, and everything was done right, no issues since. This time they also completed an alignment and oil service, both at fair prices. Mark was especially helpful throughout the process. He clearly explained what was actually needed versus what could wait, and didn't try to upsell anything. I never felt rushed or pressured, just informed. Bonus points to him since he's a fellow Atlanta Braves fan! If you're looking for a shop that will diagnose correctly, communicate clearly, and not recommend unnecessary work, Larsen's is a solid choice, especially if you have a BMW or higher-mileage vehicle and want straightforward, trustworthy guidance.
