Hi, I've been told that to really do a thorough inspection a car should be put on a lift. How do you address that kind of limitation of a mobile inspection? Thanks.
A:
Good morning, I do lift the car up and go underneath it to check the suspension system, rack & pinion, axles and boots, leaks etc.

I was in the market for a used car and found one about two hours away that I wanted, but had no idea how to go about getting a trustworthy mechanic to do a prepurchase inspection that far out. I called Eran and told him my situation, and he was out there to inspect the car the next day! He emailed me the report as soon as he was done inspecting the car then called me to go over it and answer any questions I had. I previously told Eran what the seller told me about the car, and he confronted and questioned the the shady seller directly about the things that were falsely advertised. Unfortunately the car was essentially a lemon, but thankfully I spent the money to have Eran inspect it and save me a lot of time and money in the long run.
I found another car and contacted Eran, who was able to go inspect the car that same day. He sent me the report, went over it with me, and gave me a realistic idea of how much extra I would be spending on the car in needed repairs/maintenance. Thankfully this car was in much better shape than the last one, but it still needed a few things, and the seller worked with me on the price because of that.
Eran's business is lowkey a godsend, especially for those who are trying to buy a used vehicle but might not be car people. His price is very reasonable for what it is, he is professional, and he won't give you the same bs a mechanic who makes money off repairing your car might. This makes buying a used car way more convenient, and the peace of mind is worth it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 16, 2024
My wife is looking to buy a used car and I found this service to be really helpful. The common sense thing to do when buying a used car is to have a mechanic inspect it, but trying to arrange to have a regular mechanic to do this would be a pain in the butt.
It was really easy to set up the appt, which was the day after I called. The inspection happened at the used car lot exactly when promised, and Eran called me shortly after it was completed. Not only was the inspection report really helpful, but his comments about what to do about the findings were incredibly useful--things I never would have thought of.
In the stressful world of buying a used car it is nice to have someone on your side.
FYI, we ended up NOT making an offer on the car as the results in the report helped my wife better understand what she wants in her next car. And I will be calling Eran for the next car we are interested in.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Paulo A.Merced, CA16312836Mar 10, 2024
I bought my first car ever at the end of February and was fortunate to come across Eran and Safebuy Inc's mobile inspection service.
Safebuy's pre-purchase inspection gave me the information I needed to negotiate a good price and specifics to look out for when I eventually went for a test drive.
We did everything over the phone/e-mail, Eran patiently walked me through everything he found and even gave me a heads-up to make sure I get a recent smog check from the buyer, too.
Don't hesitate to use Safebuy if you need to check out a car.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Robert B.San Francisco, CA27222Jun 14, 2024
Eran was professional and competent. He handled a pushy CarMax salesperson by reminding her that California law requires that car dealers allow an independent inspection. Eran completed a thorough car inspection. We would highly recommend him. Well worth the price.

I recently bought a used 2015 Subaru Outback from a dealer in concord. I called Eran/SafeBuy to inspect it for any issues. Eran gives exceptional customer service, is funny, and with you at every step of the process. He is clear and direct, and encourages his clients to ask him as many questions as they want to. Eran informed us that the tires the car was sold with were well below CA safety standards. He informed us this was absolutely illegal and to contact the dealer, no matter if we had signed a contract or not. If you are looking to buy any car, used especially, do not hesitate to call SafeBuy, it is a small price to pay in exchange for having to pay out thousands in repairs if something is wrong. GIVE THEM A CALL!

I am a woman who lives in San Jose looking to buy a used car. I found one in San Bruno and was wondering how the heck I was going to get a mechanic to look at it. I did some research and found Safebuy. I called to make an appointment and was surprised that Eran could come on the exact same day I was test driving the car. He came early and did a thorough check on the car. He gave me a thorough report and took the time to explain it to me. He looked out for me as the buyer. I'm so happy I found Safebuy. I highly recommend them. Thanks Eran for the great service you provide!

Just wanted to update that the Honda CRV I purchased is still running great nearly 4 years later. Thanks again, Eran, for helping me invalidate three lemons before finding this gem.
Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Dec 8, 2020Previous reviewEran provided a tremendous service. I was very happy with it. He showed me all the faults and problems with the Honda CRV I was looking at buying and provided great information. He is very responsive and flexible with going to the car's current location.
I have had the car for over a month now and it works perfectly.
Thank you Eran! - Wave Jumper O.Mill Valley, CA054Mar 16, 2024
He has been absolutely amazing and has helped find issues with cars that were being sold as "perfect" or a "great deal." He is so honest, dependable and friendly. I'm lucky to have found his service.

What an amazing experience we had with SafeBuy. Eran was our car inspector and deeply cared about looking out for the buyer and seller. Very straight forward and pointed out things we never would have seen. Great experience overall. And he was early to the meeting! Could not recommend enough!

Eran is prompt, up front and thorough with his inspection. He was able to check the vehicle on the same day, send the report in email, and call to discuss his findings.
Everything was found in good order except the door fob batteries which the dealer replaced.
I recommend SafeBuy!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
