How It Works

It usually takes just a couple of minutes to order an independent, professional BetterWheels vehicle inspector to travel to the car's location and perform a thorough inspection, giving you peace of mind without ever leaving your home or office. Best of all, you don't have to coordinate with the seller. The inspector handles scheduling, arranges a convenient time and place, and delivers a comprehensive inspection report with photos and detailed findings typically within 24 hours of the inspection.
