Everything your car's electronics need — at your location

Hybrid & electric · pre-purchase inspection

The most dangerous thing you could do buying a hybrid - sign without someone reading from the high-voltage system.

HYBRID / ELECTRIC PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION — $199

Hybrid and electric vehicles only · 90–150 minutes · at your location

What I read from the vehicle

• I read live data from the hybrid battery - block voltages, internal resistances, state of charge, temperatures - to tell you honestly if the pack is degrading.
• Insulation resistance on the high-voltage system - if there's leakage, you'd be driving something dangerous without knowing.
• Engine and electric motor data.
• ADAS safety systems - front radar, camera, blind spot - to confirm they can protect you.
• I/M readiness - if monitors aren't ready, someone cleared codes before you'd look, and something is hidden waiting to surface.
• Pending and permanent codes - the ones no scanner can erase, telling you if something happened to this vehicle that someone wanted hidden.

You'd receive a branded, documented PDF report - evidence from the machine - that whoever is selling this car did not want you to see. If something is wrong - you'd know, and you'd walk. If it's clean - you'd sign with certainty. Either way - you'd be free.

Best for: anyone buying a used hybrid or electric vehicle - Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Ford, Hyundai, Kia - where the high-voltage battery is the single most expensive component, and no one at the dealership will check it before you sign.

For hybrid and electric vehicles only. Have a gas vehicle? The standard Pre-Purchase Electronic Inspection ($99) covers it — see the Diagnostics list above.
