I requested an inspection at a small town dealership. The inspection was completed & I was happy with the inspectors work. The only item that was a potential problem was the time it took to get an ins... See more

They did exactly what was expected
They did exactly what was expected. A very thorough inspection job.We were so happy with the results that I would definitely hire them again when needed. Thanks again. Joe D.
Quick and smooth, but missed a lot
The process was quick and smooth, but the inspector missed a lot of things that should have been caught. The tires were rated as "No issues", but there was a divot in the sidewall of one of the rear tires that required replacement. Also, the test drive noted the suspension as good, but the shocks are completely shot, requiring $2k worth of work. The truck bounces like crazy, there's no way a test drive didn't show that.
Trying to contact you is very impossible.
Trying to contact you is very impossible. Im always getting disconnected when trying to talk to a live person. After going over the report I have notices some problems with the report that was not in the report. The age of tires and on the passenger 2nd axles there most have been a blowout because its a hole in the guard. Plus you couldn't find the DOT number on the same axle tire was placed wrong .
The testing was on point for the engine, electrical, undercarriage, and tires.
The testing, videos, and pictures are exactly what someone needs when making a costly purchase sight unseen. It saved me lots of headaches and expense.

First of all can’t talk to anybody about my inspection totally inatticate it’s superficial at best never use you again

You basically stole my money and sent me a bunch of photos of my car that i already have.
The report was very helpful
The report itself is done well. You receive plenty of pictures. I was impressed with the structure.
The person selling us the vehicle said they were easy to work with when they came and did the evaluation.
At times, it was unclear though, if and when we would receive the evaluation. More clarity in the section would be helpful.
Antoine
Antoine, the mechanic who went to look at my new vehicle. He made me comfortable with the purchase. After speaking with him and not even having the report yet. I made a decision to at least get on the plane to go lok at the vehicle(2019 toyota 4runner).
Thank you Antoine! His personal phone call made it happen for me.
Report contained no new information…
Report contained no new information from my original test drive of the car. Identified issues (e.g. knocking in engine on start-up) without any analysis of root cause, cost to repair, or anything actionable. Zero value.
Inspector did a very thorough job!
Inspector did a very thorough job of checking out my new car. I was able to purchase it with confidence.

Lemon Sqaud's inspections (several cars) saved me from purchasing cars with problems.Period. Problems that either dealers were unaware of, or chose to fail to disclose. They were worth every penny and saved hundreds if not thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs. The car I chose (because of the inspection) has been trouble-free thus far for almost a year.
The best part is that they go to the seller. You don't have to take or send the car anywhere. If the seller refuses, move on. Let Lemon Squad help you find a good car.
Lemon Squad $ well spent!
We were very happy with the thoroughness of the inspector's report, he ended up saving us a $26K mistake. The seller's pictures conveniently did not show all the defects that the Lemon Squad inspector showed. The money spent on the Lemon Squad report was worth every penny and if we find another used car that we want we will be ordering another Lemon Squad report on it.

Fantastic and i did it three times three times a charm
If I had bought the second vehicle without the lemon squad, I would have had trouble
I've got my third vehicle with a lemon squad approval and i'm happy
The report that was provided is…
The report that was provided is extremely detailed and essentially tells you everything about the vehicle
Combine it with CARFAX and you have a tremendous amount of information about the vehicle
Didn't provide much insight
Didn't provide much insight, and totally overlooked multiple oil leaks. They said to clean it up down there as there might be a leak. It was covered in oil. More diagnostic on what could have been the cause of the leaks would have been valuable. Not much commentary on how the truck drove was provided either. It was basically worthless.
Quality Review
Quality Review
So I used LS for a out of state PPI inspection. I did my reviews on what other users have stated. I ordered a PPI and they were actually able to schedule same day. it took 1 day to get the report as well. I was impressed with the detail on the report regarding the engine and cold start info. There were many pictures of the vehicle and it was documented with the scratches and interior shots. the paint check was not expected nice, with revealing the repainted rear quarter. I would recommend that maybe techs can use a standard ODBI scanner, the one that he ran was a basic scanner. I use FIXd when checking locally. But overall the report was detailed and complete. I was very satisfied with the report and the value for 200$ I did end up purchasing the vehicle, when I was able to run my FIXd it did say that the vehicle codes were reset 35 miles ago which was a bit of a red flag but after driving it home 226 miles I had no issues and no warnings after I rescanned once I got home.
So thorough
So thorough! Even more in-depth than I expected. I recommend them to everyone!
